Good Podcasts (5/12/08 - 5/16/08)
- AstronmyCast has an uplifting duo of shows out over the past few weeks: The end of the solar system (mp3) and the end of everything (mp3)...SPOILER ALERT: it turns out she's actually a guy (and we'll all be dead or as close to it as possible as bits of information itself take an infinitely long time to interact with one another).
- More upbeat, CBC Radio's IDEAS interviews inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil (mp3). A good introduction to Kurzweil's body of work, his thinking, and his ideas on the singularity.
- The Long Now Foundation puts Niall Ferguson & Peter Schwartz on stage to debate "Historian vs. Futurist on Human Progress" (mp3). Really, my first impression of Mr. Ferguson...who is a weirdly persuasive and charismatic speaker who holds ideas I'd normally assume i'd oppose (for instance, I found his talk "Why America Need McCain" - he is a foreign policy adviser to John McCain - oddly...interesting? But not THAT compelling...but at least worth a listen.)
