Combining two themes here to bring you some recent podcasts.

* Craig Robinson, author of the new Flip Flop Fly Ball: An Infographic Baseball AdventureHumor Books), was on the July 19 edition of Slate’s Hang Up and Listen. There are several excellent questions about Robinson’s though processes as he comes up with new ways to present concepts, especially in the area of language.

The program’s website helpfully posts pertinent links, so here they are:

Craig Robinson’s website Flip Flop Fly Ball and his book Flip Flop Fly Ball: An Infographic Baseball Adventure.

Craig’s infographics on Roy Halladay and Mount Everest, the proportion of Native Americans in Cleveland, and the number of gay players in Major League Baseball.
