Neuroscience
While looking at the recent shows of Terry Gross's interview show, I noticed that she recently re-aired a February 2004 interview with Carl Zimmer about his book Soul Made Flesh (the story of Thomas Willis and the founding of neurology).
The audio stream for this interview can be found on this page of the NPR website.
I recommend this book for undergraduate students taking their first neuroscience or biopsychology course as an excellent and very readable account of an aspect of history too often limited just to a presentation of the thoughts of Rene Descartes.
