The podcasts played:

First, from the David Suzuki Foundation, a podcast about Guelph city busses idling and a woman who became active in trying to get the city to reduce the amount of un-necessary bus emissions.

After that, an interview with David Suzuki was played. (no specific topic)

Later in the show, around 12:50, I played a 3.5 minute long podcast about disappearing ink and Xerox machines (really neat!).
