Links on names are to individual pages for each program where there are notes about each interviewee and other information. The podcasts are all one hour or a bit less, and 12 - 14 Megabytes in size. See the Technical Page for more information on handling them.
Each interview is followed by a short section called "In my study: notes on etc." which concludes the podcast. I discuss various subjects and play the occasional mystery sound. See the List of subjects for more information and links to standalone podcasts of each IMS-Notes, or try In my study: notes for the RSS feed.
Put your mind into the right frame (and test your sound setup) by playing some of the many beautiful sounds of water (1' 39" mp3, 772Kb).
