Podcasts permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion. I do it while taking my daily (more or less) 3 mile walk, while I’m “plodding along”.
While there are thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of great podcasts from other sources, the ones sponsored via public radio have been vetted through the worthy objectives of the medium. Here’s what I’ve been listening to recently. I hope you might find these suggestions — in roughly 90 minute bites (225 minutes this one time) -- helpful in enhancing your own enjoyment of radio, our favorite medium. __ __ “Tech Bros and Diplomacy:” THE FOREIGN DESK - Monocle Radio How has Elon Musk reshaped political discourse and how much power does he have compared to the media barons of the past? Andrew Mueller explores the relationship between technology companies and governments, with David Gilbert of ‘Wired’, author and technologist Ansgar Baums, disinformation researcher Heidi Tworek and space-defence expert Clayton Swope.

He anchored the “News in English" segment that was part of the station’s daily broadcast in Danish on 15160 kHz if memory serves. He has produced a half hour program in English weekly since 1998 which appears only in the schedule of the online World Radio Network. The program is not available as a podcast but only by listening to it at the times it is streamed on weekends on the Americas and European feeds. The link to those schedules appears below.

The think tank behind it, The Heritage Foundation, has published a book, ‘Mandate for Leadership’. It’s an anthology of ideas that suggest sweeping changes to federal government, presidential power and US involvement in global affairs. Mandate for Leadership is a collection of policy ideas, written for any president to use once in office. Previous Republican administrations have implemented many of its action points. Project 2025 is divisive. Many see it as a way to strengthen the US constitution, but others fear it will dismantle it and invest irreversible power in the president.
