Got a minute a day to learn more about the world around us?

Check out 60-Second Science, a five-times-per-week podcast developed by the editors at Scientific American magazine.

In recent weeks, the episodes included quick hits on how young pitchers can strengthen their arms by repetitive throwing, how “safe tailgating” could save fuel and cut emissions, and the growing concern over overweight horses in this country.

If one minute is not enough, Scientific American also offers longer podcasts, called Science Talk.
