Already, Five More Favorite Podcasts

By Dennis D. McDonald

Here we go again — the following list joins my previous two which are here and here:

1. Australian War Memorial Podcasts. Current speeches and lectures relate to Australia’s involvement in World War II during the year 1942.
   
2. Big Ideas Podcasts. Weekly lectures from Ontario’s TVO on a variety of serious topics, from history to science and literature.
   
3. Science Talk: The Podcast of Scientific American. Weekly interviews, reports, reviews in all fields of science. Well produced.
   
4. BBC History Magazine.  Audio version related to this publication. I just wish the podcast was done more frequently.
   
5. Computing Science Podcast. Guest lectures by a wide range of computing experts at the University of Alberta. My favorite: the “checkers” (as in “artificial intelligence”) presentation.
