Most radio listening takes place in the car or while doing other things that allow freedom for the ear, but not the eyes and hands. Podcasts permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion. I do it while “power walking” (most) every other day. The “art” of putting one foot in front of the other can be pretty monotonous and by “podding along” while I’m plodding along my mind gets something to do along with my body. Some of the best radio comes from the public networks of the UK, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. Apart from the originating program’s web site, most programs are made available through any number of other amalgamation sources such as iTunes and TuneIn. Here’s another in a continuing series of small samplings:

In part two of our look at CRISPR and its potential, producer William Isdale examines the regulatory framework that exists to guide CRISPR’s usage. He also finds out about some of the fears that even genetic scientists have for the misuse of CRISPR. Among his guests, Oxford University philosopher and bioethicist Julian Savulescu.
