Like many, I've discovered that my regular exercise regimen is much more interesting and productive when I combine it with podcast listening. Making the mind healthier and arguably more agile, along with the body, would seem a prudent thing to do, not to mention a more efficient use of time.
So, periodically, I will use this space--with your indulgence--to inform on podcasts from international and public radio sources that I've found particularly interesting and edifying in the hope that you might as well. In addition to via the websites referenced, these podcasts generally are made available through several other popular internet sources such as iTunes and TuneIn. ---------------------------- IDEAS - CBC Radio One Golf Some practitioners consider it to be a 'test of character' -- more than a mere game played with tees, clubs, and sand traps. Cynics simply complain that it's a 'good walk, spoiled'. Paul Kennedy celebrates his 15th season as host of IDEAS by delving into the rich traditions of Scotland's sporting gift to the world.

The monitoring of information -- legal and illegal -- has never been greater. Yet the threats of terrorism persist. So is state surveillance a legitimate defence of our freedom, or not? Michael Hayden (former head of the NSA and CIA) and Alan Dershowitz(lawyer and proponent of the "preventive state") argue that it is. Alexis Ohanian (founder of the website reddit) and Glenn Greenwald (privacy advocate) argue that it isn't. The Munk Debates are an initiative of the Aurea Foundation, a charitable organization founded in 2006 by Peter and Melanie Munk to "improve the quality and vitality of public debate in Canada."
