How to think about science

11 June 2026

I have been listening to How to Think About Science, a radio program produced by David Cayley from Canada’s CBC. It is a little dated now, having aired 16 years ago, but it is a fantastic introduction to the field of science and technology studies with 24 episodes that each interview a key thinker.

Unofficial podcast feed

Unfortunately there is no official podcast feed for the show, so I made an unofficial one using a small tool I created. You can subscribe to the feed by pasting the following URL into your podcast player. The original audio is served directly from the CBC.ca servers. I have tested it in a few different apps. The only one I have found that does not work is Overcast, but Apple Podcasts and Pocket Casts both work well.

…and then paste in your podcast app.
