Quirks & Quarks, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's bi-weekly mashup of the world's cutting edge science, has been around for almost 40 years. Nearly 800,000 Canadians tune in to listen to the show's reports on self driving cars, artificial intelligence, space comets, snake fossils, and myriad other topics. For those of us who don't live in Canada, the Quirks & Quarks website is packed with fascinating tidbits. Readers may like to start with the podcasts themselves where they can listen to hour-long episodes, or click on individual segments of approximately ten minutes. In addition, Bob McDonald's Blog contains some of the most entertaining science writing on the web, containing pieces about astronauts in space, beer's relationship to volcanoes, and other interesting topics.
