Today I will be updating my podcast list. Here you can find all the podcast titles that were reviewed on this blog with a link to the latest review. There are 432 in total.
I am still not at the two posts a day rhythm I want to achieve. The Jewish High Holidays very much came in the way. In the coming month my day job is bound to draw me away from the blog, but I keep on trying.

Heads-up for 29 September 2010
Witness (BBC)
Silent Spring
When Silent Spring, a book about the effect of pesticides, was published in 1962 it prompted a new way of looking at the world. It was written by Rachel Carson, and her adopted son Roger Christie has been talking to Witness.
(review, feed)
Rear Vision
The Middle East conflict and the two-state solution
American president Barack Obama is committed to the Middle East peace process and the two-state solution. That is, that between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River there should be two states: one Israeli and the other Palestinian. We take a look at the history of the two-state solution. First broadcast on 23 September 2009
(review, feed)
The China History Podcast
The Great Leap Forward
The Great Leap Forward ( 大跃进) from 1958-1960 caused death and suffering to dozens of millions of people. It sounded like a workable idea but it didn't turn out like Chairman Mao hoped. When looking back on the life of Mao Zedong, the Great Leap Forward is always viewed as a black mark against his legacy. I welcome you to listen to the podcast and learn all about what happens when central planning goes awry.

New Books In History by Marshall Poe
Norman Naimark, “Stalin’s Genocides”
Absolutely no one doubts that Stalin murdered millions of people in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. His ruthless campaign of “dekulakization,” his pitiless deportation of “unreliable” ethnic groups, his senseless starvation of Ukrainian peasants, his cruel attempt to “cleanse” the Communist Party of supposed “enemies of the people”–all of these actions resulted in mass death. In total, Stalin is responsible for the murder of roughly 10 million Soviet citizens. Again, this is well established.
What is not well established is what to call Stalin’s crimes.

Philosophy Bites
Daniel Everett on the Nature of Language
Since John Locke declared the child's mind a blank slate, philosophers have long debated the degree to which language-learning is innate. Are there are universal grammatical features that all languages share? Daniel Everett, who has spent many years among the Piraha, an Amazonian people who have a highly unusual language, believes that some of Noam Chomsky's claims about language acquisition are mistaken. Listen to him discussing the nature of language with Nigel Warburton in this episode of the Philosophy Bites podcast. Philosophy Bites is made in association with The Institute of Philosophy

Being, formerly known as Speaking of Faith
Here is a short indicator about the podcast Speaking of Faith that I have been reviewing on and off. This public radio program has changed its name to Being which uses, still, the same feed. If you are a regular listener, you surely already know all about it. In case you are the kind of pick and choose listener I am, you may miss out on this.
Host Krista Tippett also did a special show in which she looked back at 7 years of Speaking of Faith and digging a little bit into why the name change: From Faith to Being. This show contains many highlights, many of which I recognized. It also reveals the trepidation there was when the show started. Faith was not exactly a good subject for public radio and the terrorist attacks of 9/11 did not contribute to the word. Nevertheless the program took off and went through its own evolution.
Conform the times of modern media, Speaking of Faith and Being, is open to audience participation, feedback and influence. There are user forums, a Facebook community and of course there is the podcast. The podcast has also brought content that was not broadcast on the radio. Short issues and the unedited interviews have been made available over time.

Chronology of dynasties - China History Podcast
Upon following the first episodes of The China History Podcast one learns that the maker Laszlo Montgomery was taking his example from Bob Packett's History according to Bob and in addition to doing a regular questions and answers session, also jumps back and forth in time between podcasts. However, I was happy to find out that not just me, but also other listeners are in need of a chronology and they have persuaded Montgomory to turn back to the beginning and take us through the dynasties, step by step. (feed)
We had, of course, already had the Qin Dynastay, which is credited for being the first to unify China and with which many Chinese histories begin. The first in this dynasty Qin Shi Huang, was the first Chinese emperor. Laszlo did one of his first episodes about this third century BC figure. Yet there is Chinese history way before that. Montgomery went back as far as the traditional Chinese histories go and told about the Xia dynasty. Much of this history is unconfirmed and hence facts are rare and far apart. Even the timing is problematic, but somewhere around 2000 BC this dynasty must have ruled.
The next was the Shang Dynasty. Here is a fascinating podcast to take with you. Not only are there more stories about the dynasty itself to tell, but there is also the riveting point that much of this was until very recently only known from traditional sources. Only in the twentieth century, until as late as 1976, archeological evidence came up that the legendary Shang actually had existed.
