A few weeks ago on Ones and Tooze, Adam 'The Tooze' Tooze had a blistering take on Abundance.
 
This is the type of resource offered up by the National Constitution Center. "The State of the American Idea," (53 mins--With Excerpt/Transcript): The State of the American Idea - Podcast | Constitution Center "Charles Cooke of the National Review, Melody Barnes of the University of Virginia, and Sean Wilentz of Princeton University explore the debate about the core values of the American Idea—liberty, equality, democracy, and federalism—throughout American history and model the way in which Americans of different perspectives can come together in the spirit of civil dialogue. This program was recorded live on February 9, 2024."

Just to give an idea, some other Constitution Center podcast titles are: "The Future of Birthright Citizenship," "What the Black Intellectual Tradition Can Teach Us About American Democracy," "How Religious Were the Founders?" and "The Evolution of Originalism." There are many other good and useful offerings there. Direct link to podcasts here: Podcasts from the National Constitution Center | Constitution Center

I only have time for podcasts while exercising, which is unfortunately a bit less time than it used to be. I have enjoyed a bunch mentioned above, notably Dan Carlin stuff. I am recently limiting political stuff to proactively reduce dread and depressive feelings about America right now.

I suppose the largest chunk of my past time on this has been spent on NPR's Hidden Brain and Radio Lab. Not all are great but most are excellent or above. Here's a great Radio Lab, which, as one may say, "meets with my interests" (consciousness and how it works) to a high degree.

 
Listened to a few interesting podcast in the last couple of days.






This one was really good:


I so wish I were as smart as people like Heather Cox Richardson.

That last one is an absolute must listen. I deeply wish our resident conservatives would listen, but I’ll be shocked if anyone can honestly say they didn’t learn something from it.

I learn so much from listening to most of the podcast I listen to. This one was especially good. Makes me regret not paying more attention in history class. :)

Of course in another podcast this week I learned that dolphins enjoy masturbating and non-reproductive gay sex for the pleasure of it. Imagine that, sex in other species for something other than having kids.
