The Economist Podcast
There will be weekly podcasts about the upcoming elections with guest interviews. Readers can leave comments and propose questions to the next guest.
Nasty people in your office
This is a podcast to listen to and take notes, because Miller is bound to describe your office nemesis and hand some practical pointers as to how to deal with that person. I could pen some down here, but it is so much better to listen in yourself. Besides, I want to leave some space for a new feature on Shrinkrapradio that was announced this show.
Starting December 9th, Shrinkrapradio will have call in shows. Everybody can participate. A test show has been run this evening. I rushed off to connect myself and can tell it works. By the end of the show with Dr. Miller, Dr. Dave describes how and when you can connect. Mind your time zone!

Chanukah and the sale of Joseph
While I am comparing, it seems to me that the talk of Rabbi Ismar Schorsch also made a connection, but I can't find it now. I wrote about this old podcast two days ago, while I was getting in the mood for Chanukah. While I cannot find the connection I am struck once again how Jewish teachings frequently concentrate on this kind of cognitive connections and parallels between historically and factually non-connected stories.
The Fibonacci Sequence - In Our Time
This time round the BBC throws in an effort through In Our Time and sort off succeeded. The program is of fantastic quality as usual, though on Fibonacci it did not give too much new information, for me that is.
As a matter of fact it was the historical aspect I found the most fascinating, but that was not the major part of the discussion. Twelfth century Fibonacci (Leonardo of Pisa) was not the one to formulate this sequence, and it did not get his name until the 19th century. He found it in the Arabic world and it roots in Arabic and Indian mathematics. When adapted to geometry it was combined with Greek mathematics. I would have loved to hear more about the history.
