Unbelievable
This non-Christian's favourite Christian podcast...
Unbelievable is a podcast of the weekly religious radio programme aired by Premier Christian Radio in the UK. The show is unabashedly promoting an evangelical biblical worldview, but it addresses a variety of topics discussed or defended by non-evangelical Christians, believers from other traditions, and even nonbelievers. The host Justin Brierly is monumentally even-handed, well read, transparent regarding his presuppositions, and a skilled interviewer. About the only program that comes close are the older editions of Apologia. I recommend this examination of the many Christian world views to Christians, other theists, and thoughtful nontheists alike.

The Female Brain
I just finished The Female Brain by Louann Brizendine MD.
If you are a woman, know any women, plan to parent a female child, or hope to remain married to a woman, you must read this book. It never ceases to amaze me how many of our supposedly higher functions are driven by hormones. The brain is as much a extremely powerful gland as it is the seat of cognition. Dr. Brizendine's follow-on book The Male Brain is good, but it seems male brains are much simpler and not nearly as interesting. I always suspected that, but these two books put that question to rest. Read both!
