    NPR Lawsuit Against the Trump Administration: NPR and Colorado public radio stations filed a lawsuit challenging an executive order by President Trump that defunds NPR and PBS. The hosts criticize the lawsuit, arguing it misuses the First Amendment to justify taxpayer funding for what they describe as biased media. Debate Over Transgender Athletes in Women's Sports: The episode discusses California's policy shift in response to federal pressure, allowing biological girls to retain championship slots even if outperformed by transgender athletes. The hosts frame this as a political victory and a sign of retreat by progressive leadership. James Comey Controversy: Former FBI Director James Comey is accused of posting a cryptic image interpreted as a veiled threat against Donald Trump. The hosts allege Comey’s actions are politically motivated and potentially criminal, referencing federal statutes on threats against the president. Media Bias and Political Polarization: The episode critiques mainstream media outlets, particularly NPR and PBS, for alleged liberal bias. It includes audio clips and commentary on statements made by NPR’s CEO, Catherine Maher, during congressional hearings. Electoral Strategy and Public Opinion: The hosts discuss how issues like transgender participation in sports are resonating with moderate voters, especially women, and influencing campaign strategies.

    这期节目里,主播请来了在宁波工作的迪米,带我们一起打开对这座江浙沿海城市的好奇之门。迪米从自己在制造业里做人工智能算法研究的经历开始,描述了光纤传感技术如何用来做安全监测和工业检测,也让我们第一次知道“一根光纤,能捕捉到温度和震动的蛛丝马迹”。你或许会惊讶,宁波的科技制造企业有多家都在细分领域扎根深耕,如光学镜头、稀土材料,每一家都在不显山不露水间攀登技术高峰。说到宁波,当然少不了让人念念不忘的海鲜和糯米美食,螃蟹的生腌、用花雕“醉”出的鲜甜,都在展示着海边城市里才有的讲究与自在。而曾在宁波念大学的迪米也介绍了汤圆、青团、水蜜桃等“糯叽叽”的特色,提醒我们别错过这里别具一格的甜香滋味。宁波的生活节奏常常被拿来与杭州做对比,相比后者的繁忙与“内卷”,宁波似乎“松弛”得多:地铁不挤,城市不吵,人们低调又踏实。这种不紧不慢的步调,也许是宁波人能潜心把制造业做好做强的底色,更是让各地人才愿意扎根的原因。要看看宁波的文化底蕴,除了我国最古老的藏书楼“天一阁”,还有中国港口博物馆、千年历史的老外滩、阳明山庄、蒋氏故居,以及“书藏古今,港通天下”背后留下的种种人文故事。若你对考古有兴趣,说不定还能去余姚感受一下荷姆渡文化的远古回响。如今“一城一港”的宁波,既是中国吞吐量惊人的超级港口,又是厂房里灯火彻夜不熄的制造之都。一边有历史人文的深沉,一边有数字化、自动化的未来。是否“宁波不怎么卷”?或许来到这里,你会发现卷与不卷只在一念之间。但毫无疑问,宁波的确是一座让人可以慢下来、也能看得更长远的城市。【本期主播及嘉宾】朱峰:「津津乐道播客网络」创始人,产品及技术专家。(微博:@zhufengme)迪米:津津乐道听友,在宁波从事制造业算法工作。【制作团队】后期 / 卷圈封面 / 姝琦@midjourney运营 / 卷圈,Sand监制 / 姝琦产品统筹 / bobo【听友社群】希望大家在听友群和评论区多多反馈收听感受,这对我们来说十分重要。欢迎添加津津乐道小助手微信:dao160301,加入听友群【关于「津津乐道播客网络」】在一派纷繁芜杂里,我们为愉悦双耳而生。科技、教育、文化、美食、生活、技能、情绪……严肃认真却不刻板,拒绝空泛浮夸。与专业且有趣的人携手缔造清流,分享经历,传播体验,厘清世界与你的关系。津津乐道 | 科技乱炖 | 津津有味 | 记者下班 | 不叁不肆 | 厂长来了 | 编码人声 | 沸腾客厅 | 拼娃时代收听平台苹果播客 | 小宇宙App | Spotify | 喜马拉雅 | 网易云音乐 | QQ音乐 | 微信听书 | 荔枝FM | 央广云听 | 听听FM | Sure竖耳App | Bilibili | YouTube联系方式津津乐道播客官网 | 公众号:津津乐道播客 | 微信:dao160301 | 微博:津津乐道播客 | 商业合作:hi@dao.fm | 版权声明 | RSS订阅本节目由「声湃 WavPub」提供内容托管和数据服务支持。

    1. Allegations of a Cover-Up Regarding President Joe Biden’s Health The episode raises suspicions about a potential cover-up of President Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis. Former President Donald Trump is quoted expressing disbelief that the public was not informed earlier. Questions are raised about the credibility of Biden’s doctors and whether his cognitive health was misrepresented. 2. Democratic Response and Accusations of Political Deflection Democrats, including Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, are portrayed as dismissing the controversy and focusing on forward-looking policies. The text criticizes Democrats for allegedly avoiding accountability and transparency. 3. Commentary from Medical Experts Dr. Zeke Emanuel, a respected oncologist, is cited as saying Biden’s cancer could have been present for years. The narrative suggests that the diagnosis was likely known during Biden’s presidency but not disclosed. 4. Controversy Around James Comey Former FBI Director James Comey is accused of posting a cryptic and potentially threatening message (“86 47”) on Instagram. The number “86” is interpreted by some as a coded call for assassination. Comey’s explanation is included, claiming the post was misinterpreted and unrelated to violence. 5. Political Fallout and Investigations Senator Tom Cotton is said to have requested an investigation into Comey’s actions. The FBI and Secret Service are reportedly involved in reviewing the situation. 6. Trump’s Rising Approval Ratings The podcast concludes with a positive portrayal of Donald Trump’s recent polling numbers. It attributes the rise to foreign policy moves, trade agreements, and a perceived return to effective leadership. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

    (00:01) Fairway Bunker Shots This chapter explores strategies for effectively getting out of fairway bunkers in golf. We discuss the importance of assessing the firmness of the sand and the technique of planting your back foot firmly to create a stable stance, allowing for a full, powerful swing without slipping. Additionally, we cover selecting the appropriate club based on the bunker lip and distance to the green, ensuring the club can clear the lip while aiming for the back edge of the green for optimal results. The focus is on understanding the conditions and adapting your approach to maintain control and maximize distance from the bunker. (13:03) Mastering Fairway Bunker Shots This chapter focuses on the strategies for successfully hitting golf shots from different types of bunkers, particularly fairway and greenside bunkers. We explore techniques for handling soft and firm sand conditions, emphasizing the importance of stance and club selection. The conversation highlights the differences in approach between fairway bunkers, where the goal is to advance the ball significantly, and greenside bunkers, which often require a softer touch to escape. Additionally, I provide practical advice for tackling the tricky 30 to 40-yard bunker shot by using a pitching wedge or a nine iron, encouraging players to adopt a simpler method for achieving greater distance. Through these insights, we aim to enhance players' bunker play and improve their overall game strategy. (20:52) Improving Bunker Play Techniques This chapter explores effective strategies for improving your golf game, particularly focusing on bunker play. We emphasize the importance of finding the right posture in the bunker, whether standing tall or maintaining a lower stance, to achieve consistency in shots. Practicing regularly to adapt to different sand textures and lie angles is key to mastering these skills. We discuss the "hinge and thump" technique, which is beneficial for getting out of both fairway and greenside bunkers. By applying these methods, you can improve your game and impress onlookers with your skillful bunker shots. We also remind listeners to engage with us via email for any specific golfing questions they may have. (25:18) Efficient Swing Techniques for Tough Lies This chapter explores a golf technique for hitting out of difficult lies, focusing on how to effectively use wrist hinging and positioning the ball in the stance to achieve optimal results. I discuss the concept of swinging the club straight up and down mentally, even though the swing forms an arc, to manage shots from the sand, fairway, and thick rough. By placing the ball forward in the stance, at the bottom of the swing arc, and maintaining a square club face, the technique enables the ball to shoot up high and land softly without the need to open the club face, which minimizes the risk of mishits. This method is contrasted with the traditional approach of putting the ball back in the stance, which can lead to lower, hotter shots. The conversation highlights how this technique is practical for amateurs who do not practice as much as professionals, and it circumvents the complexities of opening the club face and adjusting the stance, offering a simpler yet effective strategy for overcoming challenging lies. (34:42) Strategic Bunker Play Techniques This chapter explores the challenges and strategies associated with playing from fairway bunkers and green-side pot bunkers, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right club to safely clear bunker lips. We discuss how experienced players assess their trajectory and make informed club choices, often opting for a more lofted club to ensure they get out of the bunker on the first try. The conversation highlights the mindset of minimizing risks and making strategic decisions to avoid worsening a difficult situation. The thrill and technique of tackling Scotland's famous pot bunkers are also covered, with a focus on executing successful shots even when the primary goal is simply to escape the bunker. The discussion underscores the mantra of planning the next shot to optimize positioning for subsequent plays, emphasizing patience and strategy over ambitious distance. (41:43) Strategic Fairway Bunker Play Tips This chapter takes a reflective look at the strategic approach to dealing with fairway bunkers in golf. We reminisce about an impressive shot from a fairway bunker that defied the odds, but acknowledge that most players need to be realistic about their capabilities. Emphasizing the importance of understanding one's limitations, we discuss the necessity of selecting the right club to safely navigate out of a bunker and onto the fairway. The goal is to place the ball in a position that makes the next shot more manageable. We also consider the purpose of fairway bunkers, suggesting they serve as a prompt to think critically about shot placement and club selection, encouraging players to aim strategically to avoid landing in them.

Woody, who is deeply involved in teaching AI, shared his insights on everything from the US-China AI race to the radical transformations AI is bringing to education and society at large.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps01:17 The AI "Cold War": Discussing the intense AI development race between China and the US.03:04 Opaque Models & Education's Resistance: The challenge of opaque AI and schools lagging in adoption.05:22 AI Blocked in Schools: The paradox of teaching AI while institutions restrict access.08:08 Crossing the AI Rubicon: How AI users are diverging from non-users into different realities.09:00 Budgetary Constraints in AI Education: The struggle for resources like premium AI access for students.12:45 Navigating AI Access for Students: Woody's ingenious workarounds for the premium AI divide.19:15 Igniting Curiosity with AI: Students creating impressive projects, like catapult websites.27:23 Exploring Grok and AI Interaction: Debating IP concerns and engaging with AI ("Morpheus").46:19 AI's Societal Impact: AI girlfriends, masculinity, and the erosion of traditional skills.Key InsightsThe AI Arms Race: Woody highlights a "cold war of nerdiness" where China is rapidly developing AI models comparable to GPT-4 at a fraction of the cost. This competition raises questions about data transparency from both sides and the strategic implications of superintelligence.Education's AI Resistance: I, Stewart Alsop, and Woody discuss the puzzling resistance to AI within educational institutions, including outright blocking of AI tools. This creates a paradox where courses on AI are taught in environments that restrict its use, hindering practical learning for students.Diverging Realities: We explore how individuals who have crossed the "Rubicon" of AI adoption are now living in a vastly different world than those who haven't. This divergence is akin to past technological shifts but is happening at an accelerated pace, impacting how people learn, work, and perceive reality.The Fading Relevance of Traditional Coding: Woody argues that focusing on teaching traditional coding languages like Python is becoming outdated in the age of advanced AI. AI can handle much of the detailed coding, shifting the necessary skills towards understanding AI systems, effective prompting, and higher-level architecture.AI as the Ultimate Tutor: The advent of AI offers the potential for personalized, one-on-one tutoring for everyone, a far more effective learning method than traditional classroom lectures. However, this potential is hampered by institutional inertia and a lack of resources for tools like premium AI subscriptions for students.Curiosity as the AI Catalyst: Woody shares anecdotes of students, even those initially disengaged, whose eyes light up when using AI for creative projects, like designing websites on niche topics such as catapults. This demonstrates AI's power to ignite curiosity and intrinsic motivation when paired with focused goals and the ability to build.AI's Impact on Society and Skills: We touch upon the broader societal implications, including the rise of AI girlfriends addressing male loneliness and providing acceptance. Simultaneously, there's concern over the potential atrophy of critical skills like writing and debate if individuals overly rely on AI for summarization and opinion generation without deep engagement.Contact Information*   Twitter/X: @RulebyPowerlaw*   Listeners can search for Woody Wiegmann's podcast "Courage over convention" *   LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/dataovernarratives/

    Jeffrey Mosher welcomes back Teri Sand, SHRM-CP, PHR, CBSP, CRP, Business Services Manager, Capital Area Michigan Works!, Lansing, MI, but serving Ingham Eaton, and Clinton Counties Theme: Teri talks about the fourth annual DHHS Job Fair, which took place the previous day, and previews the upcoming Juneteenth Job Fair. Question 1: Yesterday was the fourth annual MDHHS Spring Job Fair. Can you tell us about this event, how many employers and job-seekers attended, and how it's changed over the years? The annual DHHS job fair is quickly becoming one of the signature events on the Capital Area's workforce development calendar. MDHHS partnered with Capital Area Michigan Works!; Catholic Charities of Ingham, Eaton & Clinton Counties; and the Lansing Police Department for this year's event. It started in the parking lot of the Ingham County Health Department in 2022, coming out of the pandemic, and featured 20 or so employers, including local government agencies. This year, we had more than 40 employers and [[approximate number of job-seekers]] at the event. The event took place at the Gannon Building on Lansing Community College's main campus to accommodate the number of employers and potential employees. Practically every job sector and industry was represented — public and private, large corporations and small businesses. Question 2: Nowadays, so much of the job search process is digital. Someone looking for work can fill out dozens of applications from the comfort of home, and employers can use screening tools — including A.I. — to zero in on the highest quality candidates. What's the advantage of attending in-person job fairs like these, both for the employer and the worker? First of all, we need to remember that although technology like internet access and smartphones seem ubiquitous, not every job-seeker has access to them. That's why, in addition to helping people fill out digital applications at our American Job Centers, we also teach digital literacy to help people who need to upskill be able to find more job opportunities online. Second, Capital Area Michigan Works! is proud to invite employers who are offering full-time, permanent jobs paying $15 an hour or more. That means the employers have quality jobs to offer. It's our mission to not only help residents of the tri-county area find work, but find good jobs with self-sustaining wages. These employers are also open to hiring from the Capital region's substantial New American population, giving those with limited English proficiency a chance to fully participate in the local economy. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, what's missing from filling out a form on a website and interviewing over Zoom is the human connection between employers and applicants. If employers only look for keywords on resumes and cover letters, they might miss the crucial soft skills that potential employees have to offer. A cover letter and resume emailed to a hiring manager might not convey the passion, drive and integrity that a job-seeker brings to the table. And I think that really speaks to the core of what we do: bridging the gap between employer and employee, creating a human connection that leads to long-term success for both sides. Question 3: For employers or workers who were unaware of this event, do you have any similar opportunities coming up? Where can people find more information? Next month, the Job and Community Resource Fair sponsored by Juneteenth/NAACP Lansing Branch and Capital Area Michigan Works! will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 21, at St. Joe Park on Hillsdale Street in Lansing.

    Chuck Todd opens with a blistering analysis of America's current political landscape, arguing that both major parties are fundamentally weak and surviving only through their duopoly of ballot access. He examines the potential for political realignment, questioning whether MAGA and establishment Republicans might fracture and if figures like Senator John Cornyn would fare better as independents. Chuck doesn't hold back on the Biden administration either, calling out what he sees as selfishness from the Bidens and criticizing aides who failed to report the President's decline sooner, suggesting cabinet secretaries will need to answer for what he terms a "cover up."Then he's joined by Rob Sand, Democratic candidate for governor of Iowa, who discusses his record of uncovering government waste and his vision for the state. Sand outlines his bipartisan approach to governance and delivers a sharp critique of Iowa's school voucher program, arguing it lacks transparency and has allowed private schools to raise tuition while turning away disabled students. The conversation covers Iowa's political shift, education policy, and whether Democrats should restore Iowa's first-in-the-nation primary status. The episode concludes with "Ask Chuck," where Todd answers listener questions on topics ranging from the theoretical "Limbaugh effect" in Obama's election to the practicality of expanding the House of Representatives, and even touches on the NBA draft lottery's impact on Texas basketball teams.Timeline:00:00 Introduction01:30 Both the Republican and Democratic parties are very weak03:00 Without the duopoly of ballot access, one of the two parties would have disappeared04:30 Interparty splits and the potential for independents?06:00 Could MAGA vs establishment factions fracture in the GOP?07:30 Would John Cornyn be better served running as an independent in Texas?11:10 Republicans have too many crowded primaries in Senate races12:30 Both parties brands are broken14:30 The Bidens have been selfish16:30 Shame on the anonymous aides who didn't report Biden's decline sooner17:45 Biden's aides pushed back publicly and privately before he stepped down18:20 Biden's cabinet secretaries will have to answer for the cover up21:10 The DNC drama surrounding David Hogg23:55 The DNC looks ridiculous right now26:15 Rob Sand joins the Chuck ToddCast 26:45 Why run for governor of Iowa? 29:30 Rob found a record amount of waste and abuse in Iowa government 30:15 Did you think about running as an independent? 34:35 If you win, is it a victory for Democrats or for independents? 36:45 Rob would appoint a bipartisan cabinet 37:30 The school voucher program in Iowa isn't transparent 38:45 The public school vouchers can be audited, the private ones can't 41:15 Iowa's public schools are falling behind 43:00 Private schools can turn away disabled students 44:15 Private schools just raised tuition after voucher program rollout 45:30 What's the plan to improve public schools in Iowa? 49:10 What are some Kim Reynolds policies he would keep? 51:05 Has Iowa shifted right, or is it a Trump phenomenon? 53:15 Should Democrats make Iowa their first primary state again? 56:30 Pete Buttigieg broke through in Iowa 59:00 Lottery scam in Iowa 1:03:00 What hurts Iowa more; tariffs or the USAID contracts being terminated? 1:05:15 Does he expect a primary challenger?1:06:05 Chuck's thoughts on Rob Sand interview 1:06:30 Ask Chuck 1:06:35 Has there ever been a study on the "Limbaugh effect", encouraging Democrats to vote for Obama? 1:11:35 If you doubled the size of the House, would there be physical space constraints? 1:14:15 Would a third party like the forward party focused on a singular issue be effective? 1:17:05 The NBA draft lottery ensured that all three Texas teams will be great(Timestamps may vary based on advertisements)

President Trump, just before setting off on a tour of the Gulf states, announces that he plans to accept a $400 million luxury jet from the Qatari royal family — one of the largest and most brazenly corrupt gifts ever received by an American president. House Republicans finally release details of their proposed cuts to Medicaid, but will their plan to cut the health insurance of 9 million Americans find enough support from moderates and hard-liners? And, of course, there's more tariff news, with the administration announcing a 90-day-pause (kind of) in the trade war with China. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy talk about Democrats' response to Trump's shiny new bribe, Stephen Miller's recent attacks on habeas corpus, and why the president's new drug pricing executive order isn't a serious solution to lower the cost of prescription drugs.

    I can tell you the exact date and place: October 16, 1986, at the Fine Arts Theater in downtown Chicago. I got to come of age as a moviegoer in the corporate dominated, era of the late 70's and early 80's. I was a child of "Jaws", "Star Wars", Indy and "Back to the Future". With occasional exceptions like "Stranger than Paradise" and "Blade Runner", American film in the early and mid 80's felt corporate and soulless. And then I saw "Blue Velvet", and my moviegoing life was saved. Skip now to nearly four years later, to those glorious two months in the spring of 1990 when "Twin Peaks" changed everything that television was and could be. For these moments, and so many more, we use Episode 60 to pay a last tribute to Hollywood's favorite Eagle Scout, the irreplaceable David Lynch. What separates Lynch from almost every other filmmaker, was that whereas most great directors were filmmakers who evolved into artists, Lynch was an artist (a celebrated painter, composer) who happened to choose filmmaking as his major means of expression. And when the filmmaking money dried up after "Inland Empire"'s failure, he simply turned to other art forms to express what he wanted to say. Lynch was most certainly a surrealist, every bit as much as Dali, Magritte or De Chirico were, but he was, as one critic termed him, a “populist surrealist”. In his films, the line between dream and reality (or between reality and film in his later works) is blurred. This makes sense, since surrealism is founded on dreams and dreamlike juxtapositions. Lynch, like those great painters he so admired and emulated, was an artist of the unconscious and the uncanny. But for all the serious artistic ambition, everything he created was leavened with that art-school sense of humor, off-center and dry as a bone. For all of his unsettling imagery and the deep questions his work raised about the nature of identity, he seemed, at least from the outside, to have led the happiest of lives. Raised mainly in Missoula, Montana, Lynch often paid tribute to the simple quotidian beauties of life in small-town America (think Twin Peaks, Lumberton, the Iowa and Wisconsin towns we see in "The Straight Story") while also, as in the opening of "Blue Velvet", reminding us of the darkness that often lies just beneath those finely-manicured lawns. For all of his artistic sophistication, he never even came close to an artsy sense of condescending irony; it's perfect that he spent the last years of his life sending in daily weather reports to the LA public radio station for broadcast. No winks, no air quotes—just the desire to share a genuine excitement about the miracles of nature. And for an artist who was such a unique stylist that he was one of the last to become an adjective (we all know “Lynchian” filmmaking when we see it), he was at the same time constantly paying tribute to film history; consider the endless "Wizard of Oz" references in "Wild at Heart", or casting just about all of the hot new movie stars of 1961 in the original "Twin Peaks" series. How perfectly fitting it was, then, to watch him, in his final and uncredited big screen appearance, playing a cranky John Ford in Spielberg's "The Fablemans". For our tribute to Lynch (which is more than they did for him at this year's Oscars), we eschewed our usual formula and chose not to do a chronological reckoning of Lynch's work and its impact from "Eraserhead" to "Inland Empire". This episode, like the director's work itself, is more associative and non-linear. In the end, we conclude that David Lynch, that Man from Another Place, is someone whose absence makes the world that much poorer a spot to live in. To quote the repeated incantation from "Blue Velvet", now it's dark.

    开源大模型这股热潮究竟给我们的技术圈带来了什么?在这一期里,我们从最近各种“火爆模型”聊起,一步步剖析了创业公司和巨头厂商在大模型上的心思。也许你已经被铺天盖地的 GPT、私有化、一体机、MCP、Reasoning 等名词绕糊涂了,但在这里,你能听到一个更接地气的真相:在企业眼里,能真正解决“脏活累活”的模型才是好模型。在这一期的节目里,我们从大模型的热闹开端聊到企业场景里的“脏活累活”,一路揭示开源与闭源的博弈:有人用闭源大模型快速试水验证,也有人在私有化部署中埋头优化,甚至有人只想把“羊头”挂得更亮来扫盲。节目里你能听到各大厂的不同算盘,为什么阿里的Qwen3会在开源界异常抢眼,为什么一些企业领导者突然就懂“大模型”了,以及“把数据扔到云端和留在机房”之间的心照不宣。我们还抛开“写公众号文案”这类AI捷径,深挖真实业务是如何通过模型微调来解决实际问题。无论你是技术极客还是产品经理,只要对AI落地感兴趣,都一定能在这期节目里找到让你拍案叫好的点子。让我们一起在节目里看看大家如何用开源生态撬动商业模式,又如何在繁杂的业务场景里用大模型高效“平事”。【听友福利】欢迎各位听友在本期节目评论区积极留言互动,本期节目我们将在评论区抽取10个最佳留言,送出阿里云的周边盲盒一个。【本期主播及嘉宾】朱峰:「津津乐道播客网络」创始人,产品及技术专家。(微博:@zhufengme)某高老师:「科技乱炖」主播,资深运维专家,互联网和 IT 行业从业20 年,现任某互联网安全公司高管。(微博:@某高老师,Blog:某高老师 – 人间观察)白宦成:独立开发者,开发者生态顾问,资深技术专家,前 Linux 中国技术社区技术负责人,是多个开源软件项目的作者或管理者。【制作团队】后期 / 朱峰封面 / 姝琦@midjourney运营 / 卷圈,Sand监制 / 姝琦产品统筹 / bobo场地支持 / 声湃轩北京录音间【联系我们】希望大家在听友群和评论区多多反馈收听感受,这对我们来说十分重要。欢迎添加津津乐道小助手微信:dao160301,加入听友群。【关于「科技乱炖」】由多名资深从业者主持的科技点评播客,以实际工作中积累的经验为基础,结合实际,把近期科技热点变成犀利、独到、深刻的独家观点。【关于「津津乐道播客网络」】在一派纷繁芜杂里,我们为愉悦双耳而生。科技、教育、文化、美食、生活、技能、情绪……严肃认真却不刻板,拒绝空泛浮夸。与专业且有趣的人携手缔造清流,分享经历,传播体验,厘清世界与你的关系。津津乐道 | 科技乱炖 | 津津有味 | 记者下班 | 不叁不肆 | 厂长来了 | 编码人声 | 沸腾客厅 | 拼娃时代收听平台苹果播客 | 小宇宙App | Spotify | 喜马拉雅 | 网易云音乐 | QQ音乐 | 微信听书 | 荔枝FM | 央广云听 | 听听FM | Sure竖耳App | Bilibili | YouTube联系我们津津乐道播客官网 | 公众号:津津乐道播客 | 微信:dao160301 | 微博:津津乐道播客 | 商业合作:hi@dao.fm | 版权声明 | RSS订阅本节目由「声湃 WavPub」提供内容托管和数据服务支持。
