Podcasts are a great development in the history of radio because they permit a
shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient
occasion. I do it while “power walking” (most) every morning when weather and
my own psyche permit. Indeed, were it not for podcasts I doubt I would have
found any other inspiration for putting in these miles as long as I have.
Hence…Podding Along!
Some of the best radio comes from the public networks of the UK, Australia,
Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. While there are hundreds, perhaps
thousands, of great podcasts from other sources, the ones sponsored via public
radio have been vetted though the worthy objectives of the medium.
Furthermore, I personally curate this continuing series of small samplings that
are listed in more or less 90 minute helpings. Admittedly that makes these
recommendations somewhat subjective. But, as you will see, my interests are
many and my tolerance for incompatible topics and views are pretty
wide-ranging. I hope you will find these suggestions helpful in enhancing your
enjoyment of radio.

“A vision of the world through the lens of Taryn Simon: probing the uncertainty
of memory and truth”
WRITERS AND COMPANY - CBC Radio One
The work of photographer and conceptual artist Taryn Simon has been described
by critics as both terrifying and brilliant. Mixing camerawork, writing,
graphic design and performance art, her complex and ambitious projects raise
questions about the nature of truth, the reliability of memory and the struggle
between order and chaos. Simon's breakout work looked at Americans who had been
wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death, often due to the misuse of
photographic evidence. The resultant book, The Innocents, was published to
great acclaim in 2003. (54”)
