Last week, I was at a podcast convention -- no, call it what it calls itself, a "festival." Next week, I'll be at a radio convention. Why, yes, there's a contrast. But the striking difference between the two is less about the different tones of the conferences -- ...

We're going to talk this week about science, health, the Inuits, and fish. It does include a lesson for radio. I'm serious. For a long time now, you've heard how you should be eating Omega-3 fatty acids. It's good for your heart, they say. Your doctors have ...
