TED Radio Hour

We picked TED Radio Hour because it does what the best TED Talks do—puts a concrete question in front of a specialist and lets them work through it—without the visual gimmicks. Host Manoush Zomorodi pulls multiple talks under one theme each week and extends them with follow-up conversation, turning staged lectures into actual exchanges. The show trades the definitive TED pronouncement for something messier and more useful. A reliable feed for anyone who wants the conference's intellectual range without its certitude.
