A longtime iPod owner, I’d yet to download and listen to a single podcast. The excruciating plane ride to and from Australia changed all that.
I’m now addicted to at least two programs (other than Car Talk): the New Yorker fiction podcast and NPR’s selected shorts podcast. Authors select and read their favorite short stories, and discuss what it is they love most about them. Highly recommended.

I’ve noticed that you have quite a few posts regarding fiction. I remember reading somewhere that people who read fiction tend to have a more empathetic view of the world. Do you think this has had an impact on your work? Also, are there such a thing as a right-wing economist working on development?
If you’re doing NPR podcasts I would highly recommend checking out Radio Lab.
Great blog, btw.
