CBC radio
Tonight's podcast of CBC Radio: The Best of Ideas is featuring:
Mistakes Were Made...By Others!
Why do people dodge responsibility when things fall apart? Why can’t political figures own up to their blunders? What’s behind so many domestic fights? The distinguished social psychologist Elliot Aronson tells us about the power of cognitive dissonance.
You may recall my extolling the virtues of this book on this post. You don't have to subscribe to the podcast you can download the mp3 or listen to it here. It is about an hour long but it is really interesting and describes many of the key points in the book, how cognitive dissonance works, and some of Aronson's history and educational anecdotes. Thanks to Dr.E for the heads up! I was driven to subscribing to a couple of other CBC podcasts too (DNTO and Quirks & Quarks). I'm just waiting for the podcast of Age of Persuasion to go online (this show used to be called "O'Reilly on Advertising") which we used to listen to at the bakery on Saturdays. A lot of good discussions revolved around the random spoutings of the CBC radio while making bread and donuts back in the day. Hurray for supporting Canadian broadcasting!

Not a 'real' podcast, but the series of links was given out before and you can easily create new ones.

Psst.
Look at the source of the "streaming audio" on the AoP website, and

It's not a proper "podcast" (no feed), but this is definitely
downloadable audio.
