It's -5° outside... so while my fingers thawI thought I 'd jot down a list of podcasts I'm currently listening to on my way into work....
Web & Tech
- Boagworld - slightly off the wall but fun an interesting... David recommended these guys to me. It's an hour long show from Paul Boag & Marcus Lillington. Full of useful insights & some interesting interviews.. the first show I listed to, for example, had an interview with Joe Stump from Digg about web scalability.
BBC, History & Comedy
Most of the rest of what I'm listening to comes from the BBC at the moment. Quick list for now because I must get on...
- FOOC - From our own correspondent is a weekly collection of short reports from the BBCs foreign correspondents. Always interesting, insightful and simply different to the normal homogonised and sanitised drivel that you get on the news. A definate must.
- In our Time - A slightly random Radio 4 (Wed 10am?) show hosted by Melvyn Bragg and discussing odd bits of history, science, politics and philosophy with a few experts. Always pretty interesting; previous topics in the past few weeks include 'The Great Fire of London', 'Heat (the history of the concept of thermal energy - seriously, for an hour)', 'The Great Reform Act' etc..
- A Point of View
- Start the week
- Friday Night Comedy
... any recommendations are extremely welcome!
