TED Radio Hour
NPR
Big-name thinkers and researchers explaining how to apply science and philosophy to everyday life.
Why we picked this
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.
