The podcast I reviewed was hosted by Natasha Mitchels. It is an MP3 of a national radio broadcast so the production quality is excellent. The podcast I reviewed included an interview with Cognitive scientist Guy Claxton who presented some fascinating insights concerning the unconscious. Other podcast topics have included Nueroethics and the 21st Century Brain and The Origins of Memory.
The focus of this podcast is all things related to psychology. This is one of my personal passions and interests so I will be a regular subscriber to this podcast. I would highly recommend this podcast to anyone with similar interests.

A mish-mash of popular science research of the mind. The telegenic guests seem to always be on the verge of a breathtaking new discovery, or at least a few novel ideas which will provide them with university tenure. Recreational drugs seem to be a popoular topic.
This is a syndicated radio program which sometimes syndicates (but does not podcast) content from the BBC, which makes the program descriptions a little confusing. Production and audio quality are professional and radio quality. Programs are 25 minutes.

I love psychology and I found this podcast from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation to be very intelligent and fascinating. The host interviews leading psychologists in Australia who are experts in a certain aspect of our minds. I listened to a podcast which psychologically deconstructed the modern day self help movement and it was great. Every week it looks like a new excellent topic. I'm subscribing to this one.

In Austria, animal activists have taken the case of a chimp called Matthew as far as the European Court of Human Rights. Controversially, they´re fighting for his right to legal personhood. And, the incredible saga of Nim Chimpsky. A landmark effort to teach a chimp sign language and raise him like a human child. Project Nim became a scientific soap opera of epic proportions.

2008-06-14 Brave New Mind: Smart drugs and the ethics of neuro-enhancement
Author: ABC Radio National
Sat, Jun 14, 2008
An April Fools prank this year saw the launch of the World Anti-Brain Doping Authority. Jokes aside, drugs like Ritalin for ADHD and Modafinil for sleeping disorders are now being popped by people who want to be weller than well. Some argue that the spectre of 'smart drugs' and 'cosmetic pharmacology' pose a challenge to our authentic selves. Do we know the long term risks? And in the classroom, would brain-doping be cheating?
