We certainly live in an eclectic, ever-shrinking world; the internetless realm of my youth seems like a very long way away at times, almost a different planet. As an illustration of the way in which geographical boundaries hindering dispersed advocacy movements largely vanish in the presence of broadband, here we have an Australian podcast interview with biomedical gerontologist Aubrey de Grey on the topic of healthy life extension and his Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence (SENS):

My guest tonight, Dr Aubrey de Grey, biogerontologist from the Department of Genetics, University of Cambridge, UK, is the man leading the field in this incredibly exciting research. ... Out of all of the interviews I've done in the last 8 months, I have to say this is personally the most exciting. Getting to assist guys like Dr de Grey to get their message out to the wider population makes this podcasting thing worthwhile.
