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.
In that regard, here are some 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. BIG IDEAS - ABC Radio National Corporate Crime and Punishment Does the big end of town get an easy ride and, if so, are tougher penalties needed to curb white collar crime? Three regulators--Greg Medcraft, Chair Australian Securities and Investment Commission; Dr. John Laker AO, Chair Australian Prudential Regulation Authority; Rod Sims, Chair Australian Competition and Consumer Commission--talk with ethicist Simon Longstaff about what should be in their toolkit to punish corporate crime.

The report found that audiences looking for quality investigative journalism rated Channel 4 higher than the BBC. It also said that on and off screen diversity needs to be addressed. In his first interview for the Media Show, James Harding, head of BBC News, sets out how he's going to improve coverage. Also in the studio; Richard Sambrook former director of Global News and the BBC and Stewart Purvis, non-executive director of Channel Four and former editor in Chief at ITN, discuss how improvements might be made at a time when money needs to be saved. Lachlan Murdoch, son of Rupert, has been appointed non-executive co-chairman of both entertainment company 21st Century Fox and global newspaper company News Corp, alongside his father. He's finally been persuaded to rejoin the family business, and now looks set to be the heir to his father's empire. Richard Aedy, Presenter of The Media Report on ABC Radio National in Sydney, Australia - where Lachlan has been based - tells Steve Hewlett what's being made of the appointments back in the Murdochs' home country.

For them it was easy enough to be on top of what was happening in their village or district, but altogether more difficult to know much beyond that. Essentially, we relied on travellers to tell us what was happening in the wider world and then, as now, we had to trust the messenger if we were going to believe their stories. Andrew Pettegree is an historian whose particular expertise is Europe in the Reformation and Renaissance, so today's show focuses on the European origins of news.
