    Or you can search in podcasts. There’s dozens of them.
    If you’re browsing I’ll suggest:

  2. Samuel Adams, an important figure in the American Revolution and, as far as I know, the only one of his colleagues to give his name to a brewery, was born September 27, 1722. Have a beer today in his honor.

    And, like Basil, I like music written a long time ago. I frequently tell people that I’m an eighties kind of guy. When people ask what my favorite pieces are, I name symphonies, operas, string quartets, etc., by Mozart and Haydn, because I mean the 1780s.

    So you can join my in my enjoyment, here’s the great Welsh baritone Bryn Terfel singing Fin ch’han dal vino from Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni.
