Random Cool Things

Just a couple random cool things for today:

  • The 9 am to 10 am Eastern time hour (GMT – 5 right now for winter) of WCBE Radio (90.5 FM) in Columbus, Ohio.  Mike Taylor always opens his show around 9:10 or so after the news with a block of awesome world music.   I usually catch it in the car after walking at the mall or at work, but with the beauty of the Internet you can catch it wherever you are.
  • The Stuff You Missed in History Class podcast from How Stuff Works.  I love this podcast – two people research some obscure piece of interesting history and tell the story.  If you like hearing stories and you like history, including gossip, you might dig this.  While walking at the mall today, I heard them go into the backstory of the building of the Taj Mahal.
