In podcast terms, there are some great new podcasts ready to be plucked up and consumed, and if you need any inspiration to get excited about baseball this October, you might find it from an unlikely source. Only Human: WNYC launched a new podcast last week that promises to look at how health shapes our lives. The … [Read more...]
Week in Review: Week of September 28, 2015
My podcast week in review for last week is a bit late, but sometimes real life takes precedence over things like scarcely-read, pet-project websites.

Week in Review: Week of September 7, 2015
Last week’s podcast highlights included a fake contract negotiation, a punk-band drummer turned comedian, high school seniors sweating out the college admissions process, and a man who’s been confined to the grounds of an embassy for the last three years.
