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. __ __ “Deaf Percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie Wants to Teach the World to Listen” Q WITH TOM POWER - CBC Radio One ‘Listening is the glue to humanity,’ the Scottish Grammy winner says in a Q interview. Dame Evelyn Glennie is a Scottish percussionist who started losing her hearing at age eight. She is the only deaf musician to ever win a Grammy (which she's done twice) and the first person to create and sustain a full-time career as a solo percussionist. Her new album, Another Noise, is a collaboration with the Jamaican British poet Raymond Antrobus, who's also deaf. Having both lost their hearing at a young age, their work explores language, sound, music and the lived experience of being deaf. The album was recorded 100 per cent live in a single afternoon without rehearsal and with almost every track being a first take. Glennie's parts were entirely improvised without her having prior knowledge of any poem performed.
