I Like Podcasts

The Love + Radio Podcast is one of my latest finds. I like that they have very different episodes on different subjects.

“From PRX’s Radiotopia, Nick van der Kolk’s Love and Radio features in-depth, otherworldly-produced interviews with an eclectic range of subjects, from the seedy to the sublime. You’ve never heard anything like it before. New installments are added monthly.”

For recommendations on which episode to listen to first, see their About page, or try one of the epsidodes I liked: Deep Stealth Mode, Sesquipedalian, Greetings from Coney Island.

Physics Girl: Can you solve this pier puzzle? (YouTube)

“Can you figure it out? There are two towns near a shore. They want to build a pier on the shoreline with a path connecting the pier to each town. They want to use as little material as possible, so they need to put the pier in a location on the shoreline that minimizes the total length of both paths added together. Where should they put the pier?”
