[Swprograms] Podding Along - Issue 60

[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:

âThe Fix is Inâ
THIS AMERICAN LIFE - WBEZ Chicago
There are all sorts of situations in which we suspect the fix is in, but we almost never find out for certain. On today's show, for once, we find out. The whole program is devoted to one story, in which we go inside the back rooms of one multinational corporation and hear the intricate workingsârecorded on tapeâof how they put the fix in.  (58â)

âThe attempted Turkish coup; failing western military strategy; Rev Billy's Stop Shopping Strategyâ
LATE NIGHT LIVE - ABC Radio National
What and who was behind the failed Turkish coup?  Can contemporary military strategists learn from World War 1?  The very Reverend Billy and his Church of Stop Shopping lead their followers down a path of creative resistance to everything from mindless consumerism to police violence.  (54â)

âHow Marketing Created Rituals"
UNDER THE INFLUENCE
How the marketing industry created many of our everyday rituals. We don't think twice about having bacon & eggs for breakfast or taking a coffee break, but both of those routine rituals were invented by marketing companies to sell more product. (28â)
