[Swprograms] Podding Along - Issue 59

[John Figliozzi <jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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 âpower walkingâ (most) every other day.  The âartâ of putting one foot in front of the other can be pretty monotonous and by âpodding alongâ while Iâm 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 programâs web site, most programs are made available through any number of other amalgamation sources such as iTunes and TuneIn. Hereâs another in a continuing series of small samplings:

âMindreading, Ethics and the Lawâ
ALL IN THE MIND - ABC Radio National
The idea of technologies that could help us read the minds of others just by scanning their brains is both exciting and unnervingâand itâs imminent. In the criminal legal system the use of brain scanning could revolutionise lie detection, eyewitness testimony and even racial biasâbut what of our privacy? All in the Mindconsiders the potential and ethics of mind reading technologies.  (29â)

âIslam Beyond Violent Jihadis; the Eco-Truffleâ
LATE NIGHT LIVE - ABC Radio National
What is the truth of Islam behind the violent rhetoric? One of Britain's leading intellectuals and editor of 'Critical Muslim' looks behind the slogans. Truffles - the fruit of sub-surface fungi - are a vital part of healthy ecology in Australia. But the introduction of foxes and feral cats has broken the chain which leads all the way down to the truffle - and is having disastrous consequences for the land. (54â)
