I like to walk.

Now that I am retired I find that I often take 2 or more walks each day. Usually I have company but perhaps 2 or 3 times a week, I walk alone. A few months ago I decide to take my iPod on these walks.

Then I realized I could add podcasts and listen to intelligent conversation as I walk. One of the more interesting talks I heard lately was an interview with Dr. Kerry Emanuel and Chris Mooney on a conservative’s view of climate change from a climate scientist. Kerry Emanuel is a professor of atmospheric science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Chris Mooney is one of the hosts of the Point of Inquiry podcasts.

This quote is taken from the Point of Inquiry “about” page:

Point of Inquiry is the Center for Inquiry’s flagship podcast, where the brightest minds of our time sound off on all the things you’re not supposed to talk about at the dinner table: science, religion, and politics.

So if you’d like to hear interesting interviews, I’d highly recommend their podcasts. You can get them for free at the Apple online store (same as iTunes). Many of us like free.
