Many of you enjoy TED Talks, I know. I have found an excellent way to hear a few in a condensed way, which is the NPR TED Radio Hour. What they do is find the best bits from some talks on the same subject and make a collage as well as interviewing the talkers. It's brilliantly edited and really good radio.
TED Radio Hour is an audio broadcast which is available as a podcast (downloadable file) or can be streamed from their website. I feel professionally obliged to recommend the recent one on Predicting the Future, but the programmes on Memory, Story Telling and Making Mistakes (my favourite) were also excellent.
When does one find time to listen to something for AN HOUR? It can be a challenge, but I try to combine it with the daily mindless tasks of commuting or cooking or shopping or exercise. I hope you get to enjoy TED Radio Hour too. Here, though, is a fascinating video talk (if you've got 15 minutes). Did you know that IQs have nearly doubled in the last 100 years? James Flynn explains why.
