Ted Talks

Anything on your mind that isn't about RLS? It's nice to realize that there is life beyond this disease and have an opportunity to get to know our online family in a different context.

Ted Talks

Post by Sojourner »

Anyone visit the Ted Talk site? Short talks on a variety of topics which are often interesting, informative, and inspiring. Just watched one entitled "What really happens when you mix medications." A topic near and dear to us. It was pretty basic and I admit I was hoping for more but still I learned something. The topic is on the same page as the link I will post. It's another nice way to pass some time in the wee hours.

Wishing all who visit here some peace this night

I love TED talks. I listen to podcasts more often, though, that watching them. NPR has many shows I love to listen to, but Invisibilia, This American Life, Snap Judgment and Radiolab are favorites.

And, many others (without my phone, I'm just rattling off a few...)

Stuff You Should Know

BBC's Free Thinking

The Moth Radio Hour

Skeptoid

I can't remember the name...but it's on Positive Psychology.

There are multiple ones from Scientific American

I think I have over 200 episodes on my phone right now...scary.

Those are some good looking websites. I've already bookmarked Skeptoid.

Another good one is Arts & Letters Daily http://www.aldaily.com

It was started by Denis Dutton, an American expat philosophy professor at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand. Sadly, he died in 2010. He was also a founder of New Zealand Skeptics.

Very interesting - and done with humour.

Took a look at Skeptoid and bookmarked it also. Looks like it could contain some inteesting stuff but I'm a bit skeptical.
