Podcasts I love and recommend

I love spoken word radio programmes. BBC4, World Service, NPR, PRI all deliver excellent content and a lot of it is available as podcasts.

Quick list of my favourites:

  • BBC World Service From Our Own Correspondent, the Beeb’s foreign correspondent’s describe what’s going on in their experience covering current stories (half an hour twice a week)
  • WNYC’s Radio Lab - sience and ethics, mind blowing (an hour once every two to three weeks)
  • WBEZ’s This American Life - amazingly human and touching stories about people (a hour once a week)
  • BBC Radio 4’s In Our Time - a long piece on one important idea or period in history

Search them all on iTunes and I’ll try to get this post linked up at some point soon.
