It&#8217;s not bad as commutes go, but it does have me scouting around for good podcasts.   I&#8217;m a bit of a news junkie, so tend to catch up on <a href=\"www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/3036677\/\">Olbermann&#8217;s show <\/a>via podcast (and of course, there&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/26315908\/\">Maddow<\/a>), but that tends to wear thin after a bit even for this ardent political news junkie.   So, I was delighted when a friend put me on to the Canadian Broadcasting&#8217;s series on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/ideas\/features\/science\/index.html\">&#8220;How to Think about Science.&#8221; <\/a>  It&#8217;s got some wonderful interviews with some notable scholars, including the two I listened to on Monday: Richard Lewontin and Evelyn Fox Keller.    Certainly not for everyone, but fun times indeed for geeks who enjoying thinking about science.  You can access the podcasts via the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/podcasting\/\">CBC&#8217;s website <\/a>or via iTunes.
