The Solar Railway That Could Solve a Much Bigger Problem.

Posted on September 20, 2026 by agogo22

20 Sept 2026
What if the biggest challenge facing solar power isn’t making the panels cheaper, but finding somewhere to put them? From solar panels between railway tracks in Switzerland to photovoltaic motorway noise barriers in South Korea, engineers are finding increasingly ingenious ways to generate clean electricity from infrastructure we’ve already built — without competing for valuable agricultural land.

I’m (Still) Lovin’ It: The McDonald’s Jingle Saga Continues — Twenty Thousand Hertz – The stories behind the world’s most recognizable and interesting sounds.

Art by George Butler.

This episode was written and produced by Fran Board and Casey Emmerling.

The “I’m Lovin’ It” jingle is one of the most recognizable melodies on Earth. But the story behind it involves a global competition, thousands of mixes, a Trojan Horse pop song, and a surprising amount of celebrity beef.

Featuring Tom Batoy and Franco Tortora of Mona Davis Music.

Song Exploder – Paula Cole

Posted on September 20, 2026 by agogo22

Paula Cole is a singer, songwriter and producer from Massachusetts. She put out her first solo album, Harbinger, in 1994. Her second album, This Fire,came out in 1996 and was a real breakthrough; she was nominated for seven Grammys, and she won the Grammy for Best New Artist. In fact, that year she was the first woman in Grammy history to be nominated for Producer of the Year without a male collaborator. For this episode, Paula told me about how she made one of the big hits from that album: “I Don’t Want to Wait.” It spent 56 weeks on the Billboard charts. And then, it was heard by millions more, when it was used as the theme song for the hit TV show Dawson’s Creek.

These days, Paula has been reclaiming her old music in various ways. A couple of years ago, she re-recorded some of her songs, including “I Don’t Want to Wait.” And that’s the version of the song that you’ll hear throughout this episode, and at the end, in its entirety. And on September 10, 2026, Paula is putting out an archival collection of her demos. It’s called Sonic Memoir: Demos 1989-1998. It includes the original demo of “I Don’t Want to Wait,” which you’ll also hear in the episode, as Paula tells the story of how she wrote and produced the song.

Infinity according to Jorge Luis Borges – Ilan Stavans

Posted on September 20, 2026 by agogo22

11 Jul 2019
Dive into the mind-bending works of Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges, whose work pioneered the literary style magical realism.

—

What would it be like to have a limitless memory? Can the meaning of life be found in an infinite library? Is time a labyrinth or a single moment? Jorge Luis Borges explored these questions of infinity in his many works. His body of essays, poems and stories pioneered the literary style known as magical realism— and each was just a few pages long. Ilan Stavans dives into the world of Borges.

Lesson by Ilan Stavans, directed by Aim Creative Studios.
