Three must-listen podcasts
Media diet day! Three must-listen podcasts:
• Fresh Air: interview of ex-CIA operative Robert Baer, author of The Devil We Know - who says on the show, and I quote, "of course Bin Laden is dead" - and points out why Iran is actually helping us in Iraq.
• This American Life: profile of Geoffrey Canada and the Harlem Children's Zone. As author Paul Tough writes in Whatever It Takes and says in this interview, there is a solution to poverty. And it's not that complicated. It just requires people deciding to do it. (See also this past pointer to Canada on Fresh Air.)
• This American Life: Another Frightening Show About the Economy, a followup to their recent, very popular Giant Pool of Money episode, explaining the credit crisis in clear language (which everyone should take time to hear).
P.S. If you're interested in creating a media diet for yourself, start by reading Bit Literacy.
Update: Bonus fourth item, Charlie Rose's interview of Warren Buffett on the financial crisis:
He certainly showed, perhaps not meaning to, the master plan of world domination.
