Re: [Phys-l] science podcast recommendations?



I think that Radiolab from WNYC may be the best podcast period, not just the
best science podcast. <http://www.radiolab.org/> They have archives you can
download as well. For an eight year old? Maybe.

Subject: [Phys-l] science podcast recommendations?

Hello,

We just got an ipod, and can listen to all sorts of things in the car. My
eight-year old has really been interested in Americas Test Kitchen Radio
(http://www.americastestkitchen.com/radio/), which really is a fun program and
is mildly scientific. I really like it because they do cover some science
topics (like the science of taste), they are constantly testing devices and
recipes to see if the claims hold up, and it's not a "kids" show (but at the
same time I don't have to worry about inappropriate content).


I was wondering if there are any good science podcasts out there that you
think would work well in the same way: not just a "kids" show, but interesting,
fun, and informative. It could even be a video podcast, or a good video series
that I can extract the audio and listen in the car.


thanks,

Brian Blais
