February 18th, 2008 - Podcatching: The Environment Report
The Environment Report podcast, from NPR, “is a news service committed to revealing the relationship between the natural world and the everyday lives of people. The Report is based at Michigan Radio in Ann Arbor.” There’s one a week, and I think the reports are produced specifically for TER (unlike some others that simply collate reports from other shows of the week). Each one is about 20-30 minutes long, which I appreciate. (The hour long shows seem to always end up with a 15-20 minute segment I’m not interested in. Since I listen on the way to/from work, and it’s winter and quite cold/windy/snowy these days, I hate taking off my mittens to fast forward.)
The Environment Report website is also available. At the website, you can listen to longer stories focused on one topic. They also provide links to additional information about those stories. I can’t figure out how to subscribe to any of the other stories via podcasts.
