The podcast is called: Dolphin Parenting. It was made by National Geographic. I got it from the website: http://video.nationalgeographic.com/video/player/animals.html The topic is dolphin parenting.
This is what I learned:
The only skill baby dolphins know when they are born is to mimic or copy any thing that their mother dolphin does. To learn how to find food, the mother finds it for the baby and the baby mimics the mother perfectly. One technique that they use is a type of dolphin sonar system, where their voice echoes back at them to see what fish lye under the sand. Another way to get food is to speedily follow a fish in the shallows and catch it. And another thing is that playing with your food gives you a statis in the dolphin community.
