Don`t be -- IMHO, IMHO. Let me say somethings more positive: at least he is 
promoting SW; and check out main page for his own nice artwork: 
http://outfarpress.com/

He does include a link to WOR  the original Angelfire site and a lot more 
old info, such as SW schedules from 10 years ago

reports for certain! Walt

[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 251

2020-01-13 Thread John Figliozzi
Most radio listening takes place in the car or while doing other things that 
allow freedom for the ear, but not the eyes and hands.  Podcasts permit a shift 
of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion.  
I do it while “power walking” (most) every morning in what sometimes seems like 
a vain attempt to diminish the results of sitting behind a desk for 35 years.  
The act of putting one foot in front of the other can be pretty monotonous and 
by “podding along” while plodding along the mind also gets something useful to 
do.  So it is with the time spent commuting to work day after day.

Some of the best radio comes from the public networks of the UK, Australia, 
Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S.  Apart from the originating program’s 
web site, most programs are made available through any number of other 
amalgamation sources such as iTunes and TuneIn. 

Admittedly, these are thoroughly subjective recommendations, but my interests 
and tolerance for incompatible views are pretty wide-ranging. Here’s another in 
a continuing series of small samplings, offered in a 90 minute scope (more of 
less):

——

“How Soon Can We Go Carbon Zero?" 
THE INQUIRY - BBC World Service
This month activists all over the world have taken over city centres, demanding 
urgent action to halt climate change. They say we need to eliminate all carbon 
emissions by 2025. Most people think that’s impossible. But scientists are 
warning that if we want to stop global warming, we need to cut our CO2 
emissions fast. So how soon can the planet achieve carbon zero? (30”)

“Democracy is Failing the People" 
BIG IDEAS - ABC RN
Is our democracy serving us well? How would you measure it?  We have the right 
to vote in free elections and we don’t have wars when the government changes. 
But, a lot of people have lost faith in the way the system works.  In 
Australia, we’ve had six Prime Ministers in a decade, corrupt politicians in 
both major parties, flouting of ministerial responsibility and a seeming 
inability to deal with the big issues like climate change.  Is the democratic 
system to blame, or – as the old saying goes - do people get the governments 
they deserve?  Highlights of Democracy is Failing the People, an Intelligence 
Squared debate, presented by the Ethics Centre. August 27, 2019.  (55”)

Good news is that a specific phrase search does work.  Came up right
away - as long as "world of radio" is in quotes.
