Description

THIS IS A VIRTUAL MEETING

Do you enjoy listening to podcasts, but don’t have anyone to discuss them with?  Do you like the idea of a book club, but can’t commit to finishing the book each month?  Join the University Branch Podcast Club to engage in conversation about podcasts on a variety of topics.  Each month we’ll have a topic and a short list of podcast episodes to listen to.  At the meeting we will discuss those episodes and the themes within them.

This meeting will be held online via WebEx.  You must register for this program to receive an email invite with the link to the meeting.

The topic for June's meeting is Animal Minds.  We’ll be discussing the following podcast episodes:

  • “How to Talk to Animals (and Know What They're Saying Back)”, WSJ's The Future of Everything, 29 m
  • “Dr. Doolittle”, Flash Forward, 59 m
  • “Animal Minds”, Radiolab, 59 m
  • “Anthropomorphic”, TED Radio Hour, 13 m (only listen to the first segment)
  • “Nonhuman Animal Prodigies and Psychic Pets!”, F.A.C.T.S., 30 m
