This podcast, from NPR's All Things Considered, highlights a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine that reports "a country's propensity for producing Nobel laureates might just be correlated to its national appetite" for chocolate. The study, described in the article as "tounge-in-cheek" displays the correlation between flavanols, which occur naturally in products like tea and chocolate, and the regression of cognitive aging as well as a correlation between chocolate consumption and Nobel winners. The podcast itself is a brief overview of the topic; the narrator speaks quickly but enunciates enough to be understood and does so with a humorous inflection. It is a good example of an audio podcast: clear and engaging as wes all brief and informative.
