Podcasts permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion. I do it while “power walking” (most) every morning. The act of putting one foot in front of the other can be pretty monotonous and by “podding along” while plodding along the mind also gets something useful to do. So it can be with the time spent gardening, washing dishes, preparing meals and many other day to day activities.
Podcasting has grown to the point that it can justly be considered a medium all its own. Therefore, the attempt here has to be to highlight only a small portion of it, just one corner where excellence reigns. 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. This continuing series of small samplings in more or less 90 minute helpings are curated by me. I attest to the fact that I have listened to every podcast listed here. So admittedly these are thoroughly subjective recommendations. But my interests and tolerance for incompatible topics and views are pretty wide-ranging, even if I do say so myself. __ __ “Beyond the Cure” EARSHOT - ABC RN When Megan and Alan Donnell noticed small differences in their young daughter they tried to brush it aside.
