Slate’s Political
GabFest
A weekly news show that is self described at the “kind of
informal and irreverent discussion Washington journalists have after hours over
drinks.” I love the casual approach that Slate’s Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson,
and David Plotz have to talking about serious political issues of the day.
Their knowledge of politics is equally matched by their quick-witted jabs at
each other’s opinions.

I’m almost ridiculous excited to introduce a new repeating feature to musing. I’m sure you all know of Ben Carter and his podcast
Tales of a Red Clay Rambler. It is one the best arts and culture podcasts out there and as a bonus it is focused on ceramics. I’m sure for many of us it is the soundtrack to our studios. With podcasts such as Ben’s and Brian Jones (
www.brianrjones.com), and a new up and coming podcast – The Potters Cast by Paul Blais (
thepotterscast.com), there are hours of inspiring stories to go through. But what if (dare I say it?) we want to listen to some other podcasts that are equally as interesting but maybe not about clay? Well I’ve enlisted Ben’s help to start compiling a listening list for you of some of his favorite episodes from other podcasts. I hope you’ll join me in welcoming Ben to musing about mud as a regular bi-weekly feature. Ben’s extensive knowledge and experience will surely make this new feature one to look forward to.
Thanks Ben!
Radio Lab- Sleep-
Episode 2 of Season 3
Radio Lab’s unique brand of story telling is candy for my
brain. It was one of the first podcasts that I became addicted to and after
only a few episodes I set upon a quest to listen to every episode. One of my favorite
early episodes,
Sleep, looks at what
happens to humans, and all the world’s creatures, when they fall asleep. Visit

to download the episode or find the podcast on iTunes.
“Radiolab is a show about
curiosity. Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between
science, philosophy, and human experience.”
