If you missed last weekend's "On Being" episode (hosted by Krista Tippett on NPR) with mathematician Jim Bradley and philosopher of science Michael Ruse in discussion, you may enjoy it:

In case you're not familiar with "On Being" here is part of how the show bills itself:
"On Being is a Peabody Award-winning public radio conversation and podcast, a Webby Award-winning website and online exploration, a publisher and public event convener. On Being opens up the animating questions at the center of human life: What does it mean to be human, and how do we want to live? We explore these questions in their richness and complexity in 21st-century lives and endeavors. We pursue wisdom and moral imagination as much as knowledge; we esteem nuance and poetry as much as fact."(One of my favorite prior episodes, BTW, was with Dr. Keith Devlin:
