[Swprograms] Podding Along - Issue 116

[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:

âAnger and Forgivenessâ
TAPESTRY - CBC Radio One
Think of the last time you were angry. Not just annoyed, but foot-stomping, wall-punching mad.  Did it feel productive? Probably not.  And that's the trouble, says philosopher Martha Nussbaum â when we get angry, we don't accomplish very much. In fact, she says, it usually only makes things worse.  In an interview with Tapestry host Mary Hynes, Nussbaum attempted to offer an answer to one of society's oldest problems: "What do we do about the social poison of anger?â  In her book 'Anger and Forgiveness: Resentment, Generosity, Justiceâ, Nussbaum says that while anger has its place within the range of emotions we need to express, it's often given too much value. Instead, she says, it should be something we seek to control.  (55â)

âConnecting with Babyâ
ALL IN THE MIND - ABC Radio National
Newborn babies can be fascinating to watchâparticularly when they're interacting with their mother or caregiver. They focus intently on each otherâs facial expressions and movements, as if they are in a danceâimitating and initiating new ways of relating. Emerging theories of child development suggest that babies have agency over their movements even in the womb, and that their actions help them to make sense of the world.  (29â)
