<p>Just to ask if anyone is aware of any interesting math podcasts? I am particularly interested in podcasts describing mathematics in the wider world; but interesting academic podcasts would also be useful.</p> <p>Interesting mathematical audio other than podcasts is also welcome.</p> <p><strong>Summary of Podcast Links</strong> </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/more_or_less/default.stm" rel="nofollow">More or Less</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.travelsinamathematicalworld.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Travels in a Mathematical World</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.ams.org/mathmoments/" rel="nofollow">Mathematical Moments</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.aracnet.com/~eseligma/mm/" rel="nofollow">Math Mutation</a></li> <li><a href="http://mathfactor.uark.edu/" rel="nofollow">Math Factor</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/inourtime/" rel="nofollow">In Our Time</a></li> <li><a href="http://acmescience.com/category/shows/scc-shows" rel="nofollow">Strongly Connected Components</a></li> <li><a href="http://inscight.org/" rel="nofollow">inSCight</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.scienceofbetter.org/podcast/" rel="nofollow">The Science of Better</a></li> </ul>

<p>Just to mention the BBC's <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/more%5For%5Fless/default.stm" rel="nofollow">More or Less</a>, a programme that looks at the numbers and statistics that come up in everyday life. It is produced in conjunction with the Open University.</p>

<p>There's the <a href="http://mathfactor.uark.edu/" rel="nofollow">Math Factor</a>.</p>

<p>Melvyn Bragg's <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/inourtime/inourtime_science.shtml" rel="nofollow">In Our Time</a> frequently has mathematical editions.</p> <p>Subjects have included: infinity, Indian mathematics, music and mathematics, Godel's incompleteness theorems, Leibniz vs. Newton, Fibonacci numbers, the Poincare hypothesis, negative numbers, prime numbers, Renaissance mathematics, pi, zero, chaos theory, symmetry and Archimedes.</p>

<p>Samuel Hansen's <a href="http://acmescience.com/category/shows/scc-shows" rel="nofollow">Strongly Connected Components</a> consists of a weekly interview with a mathematician; so far he's had Gary Chartrand, Bruce Reznick, George Andrews, David Bressoud, Andrew Granville, Lance Fortnow, and Joshua Cooper.</p>

<p>The Fields institute has <a href="http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/audio/" rel="nofollow">audio recordings</a> of talks. You can also get audio tracks of <a href="http://www.msri.org/communications/vmath/index%5Fhtml" rel="nofollow">MSRI videos</a> of talks, but you have to do some clicking (and encoding, if you want decent compression).</p>

<p>Canal Académie has a collection of <a href="http://www.canalacademie.com/idm1159-+-Mathematiques-+.html" rel="nofollow">interesting mathematical podcasts</a>.</p> <p>The only drawback is that you need to be able to speak French. If this is not a problem, I recommend <a href="http://www.canalacademie.com/ida3791-Henri-Cartan-et-la-fondation-du.html" rel="nofollow">Henri Cartan et la fondation du groupe Bourbaki</a> and <a href="http://www.canalacademie.com/ida2965-Jacques-Tits-mathematicien-prix.html" rel="nofollow">Jacques Tits, mathématicien, prix Abel 2008</a>.</p>

<p>Here are a couple applied math podcasts I've discovered more recently.</p> <p><a href="http://inscight.org/" rel="nofollow">inSCIght</a> (scientific computing)</p> <p><a href="http://www.scienceofbetter.org/podcast/" rel="nofollow">The Science of Better</a> (operations research)</p>

<p>RadioLab has programs that touch on mathematics, although I would not necesarily say they are about math. Here is one about <a href="http://www.radiolab.org/2009/nov/30/" rel="nofollow">Numbers</a> and here is one avbout <a href="http://www.radiolab.org/2009/jun/15/" rel="nofollow">Stochasticity</a>.</p>

<p>I produced a math podcast "<a href="http://www.dansmath.com/pages/podpage.html" rel="nofollow">dansmathcast</a>" from 2005-08 that is still up on iTunes, in the Education category, with 33 episodes so far. </p> <p>It's like a math variety show, with a chapter-of-the-week, mathematics for the masses, math or myth, an advanced topic, and other features, capped off with a math joke. Listen to dansmathcast; in a half hour you'll be smarter!</p> <p>See if you like it <a href="http://www.dansmath.com/pages/podpage.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> or <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/podcast/dansmathcast/id100431301" rel="nofollow">subscribe on iTunes</a> (and feel free to add me to your list!)</p> <p>Dan Bach the Math Jock</p>
