[Swprograms] Podding Along - Issue 80

[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 (when itâs not cold and wet or I havenât succumbed to laziness).  The âartâ of putting one foot in front of the other can be pretty monotonous and by âpodding alongâ while plodding along the mind also gets something useful to do. 
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. 
Admittedly, these are thoroughly subjective recommendations, but my interests are pretty wide-ranging. Hereâs another in a continuing series of small samplings:

ââ

âRadio Yak: Magz Hallâ
SOUNDPROOF - ABC Radio National
Radio Yaks: A Soundproof series in which eminent producers and sonic luminaries from around the world share audio theyâre crazy about, and tell us why.  Magz Hall is a sound and radio artist, teacher, and co-founder of Radio Arts. Her work explores the artistic potential of radio and it's use beyond conventional settings. Taking as her point of departure a hypothetical future characterised by vacant airwaves, Magz Hall's work re-imagines radio's utopian potential. For Radio Yak, she chooses five pieces that variously explore psychic life and reflect on conscious and unconscious human experience. (55â)

âKeeping Connectedâ
TAPESTRY - CBC Radio One
Lisa Genova, neuroscientist and author of best-selling novel, Still Alice, suggests ways Alzheimer's patients and their families can keep their connection alive. And, a feature documentary about India Buxton Taylor, a 16-year-old girl who died of an extremely rare neurodegenerative disease, and the special pilgrimage her parents made to Japan to honour their daughter.
