Good Podcasts (3/3/08 - 3/7/08)

• To The Best Of Our Knowledge explores "Consciousness" (mp3) - Including a great roundtable discussion with the likes of Daniel Dennett, Marvin Minsky, and Roger Penrose.
• ABC Radio National's "Big Ideas" show broadcasts a lecture by Tim Harford...an economist who discusses "The Logic of Life" (mp3) - "His raw material comprises the everyday - from relationships and marriage to crime and overpaid bosses. In his reckoning it all makes sense in an economic sort of way."  Sort of like the underlying genius behind Freakonomics (the most visible output of this "new form" of economics).
• Astronomycast discusses the shape of the universe (mp3).  Did you know that there is a generally agreed-upon geometry for the universe?  I didn't.
