[Swprograms] Podding Along - Issue 495

[John A. Figliozzi <jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Podcasts permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion.  While there are thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of great podcasts from other sources, the ones sponsored via public radio have been vetted through the worthy objectives of the medium. 

Here’s what I’ve been listening to recently.  I hope you might find these suggestions helpful in enhancing your own enjoyment of radio, our favorite medium.

“Bury Me Naked"
STORYLINES - CBC Radio One
Green burials are a growing trend in after death planning. Caroline Hiller visits graveyards across Canada, exploring how some people are reducing their carbon footprint from beyond the grave. (27”)

“Can you save a rainforest by paying people not to cut trees?”
WHAT ON EARTH? - CBC Radio One
Come with us into B.C.’s Great Bear Rainforest where Coastal First Nations are working to protect the trees using revenue from carbon offsets. But skepticism over the system may be putting the experiment at risk. We’ll hear about climate-friendly cookbooks to help you make a new year's resolution in the kitchen. A climate course you can sign up for that doesn’t cost anything and won’t bum you out. And a youth-led Swiss campaign to tax the rich to fight climate change. (55”)
