[Swprograms] Podding Along - Issue 109

[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 and tolerance for incompatible views are pretty wide-ranging. Hereâs another in a continuing series of small samplings:

-----

âRefugees in Limbo, and A Conservative in Washington â
THE NEW YORKER RADIO HOUR - WNYC New York Public Radio
Most conservatives who opposed Donald Trump are now learning to get along with the new Administration; Stephen Hayes, the editor of The Weekly Standard, is quick to call out the President on his lies and his embrace of big government. And at a safe house in Buffalo, New York, refugees are attempting not to panic as the Trump Administration puts into effect an executive order limiting immigration and resettlement. Plus, the photographer Catherine Opie explains why she rejects snark.  (54â)
