[Swprograms] Podding Along - Issue 457

[John A. Figliozzi <jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Podcasts permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion.  Some of the best radio comes from the public networks of the UK, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S.  While there are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of great podcasts from other sources, the ones sponsored via public radio have been vetted though the worthy objectives of the medium. 

I personally curate this now resuming series of small samplings that are listed in more or less 90 minute helpings. Admittedly that makes these recommendations somewhat subjective.  But, as you will see, my interests are many and my tolerance for incompatible topics and views are pretty wide-ranging.  I hope you will find these suggestions helpful in enhancing your enjoyment of radio.

“How Can We Better Regulate Digital Platforms?”
BIG IDEAS - ABC RN (Radio National) 
How do we reign in the social media juggernauts?  The power of Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc is well recognised, as are the harms caused by these monoliths: breaches of privacy, fake news that can threaten democracy, manipulation, abuse, and hate speech.  Most agree we need better governance of digital platforms, but how can we regulate them, without over-reaching?

Nic Suzor – Professor, QUT Law School and Digital Media Research Centre; member of Facebook/Instagram's Oversight Board.
