[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 510

[John A . Figliozzi]

Podcasts permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually 
any convenient occasion.  I do it while taking my daily (more or less) 3 mile 
walk, while I’m “plodding along”.

While there are thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of great podcasts from 
other sources, the ones sponsored via public radio have been vetted through the 
worthy objectives of the medium. 

Here’s what I’ve been listening to recently.  I hope you might find these 
suggestions — in roughly 90 minute bites -- helpful in enhancing your own 
enjoyment of radio, our favorite medium.

“Returning to Rwanda”
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT - BBC Radio 4
This weekend marks the start of the genocide in Rwanda that led to the death of 
more than 800,000 people – most from the country’s Tutsi minority. Three 
decades on, Emma Ailes met those who, against the odds, survived the violence – 
but continue to live with the trauma to this day.  Among those who survived the 
genocide is the BBC’s Victoria Uwonkunda, who was just 12 years old at the 
time. She recently returned for the first time in three decades, where she 
retraced her journey to sanctuary, and spoke to genocide survivors - and 
perpetrators - about the difficult path towards reconciliation and forgiveness.
As a result of the conflict in Ukraine, NATO countries close to Russia, such as 
Norway, Latvia and Lithuania, are expanding their military conscription 
programmes. In Estonia - where military service is already mandatory – our 
correspondent Nick Beake met some of the country’s new recruits.
Coffee from Jamaica to Ethiopia to Guatemala is a common sight in high-street 
cafes, but a more rarified blend comes from the Atlantic Island of St Helena. 
It’s high-quality and short-supply means it fetches a high price – but as Mark 
Stratton discovered, that doesn’t mean locals are reaping the benefits.
It's hard to escape the Puerto Rican sound of reggaeton. Now a global 
phenomenon, it's created superstars in artists like Bad Bunny, Daddy Yankee and 
Vico C. Jane Chambers went to find out how this multi-faceted music reflects 
both the island’s culture – and politics. (28”)


“Nikola Tesla”
IN OUR TIME  - BBC Radio 4 
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla 
(1856-1943) and his role in the development of electrical systems towards the 
end of the nineteenth century. He made his name in New York in the contest over 
which current should flow into homes and factories in America. Some such as 
Edison backed direct current or DC while others such as Westinghouse backed 
alternating current or AC and Nikola Tesla’s invention of a motor that worked 
on AC swung it for the alternating system that went on to power the modern age. 
He ensured his reputation and ideas burnt brightly for the next decades, making 
him synonymous with the lone, genius inventor of the new science fiction. 
With Simon Schaffer, Emeritus Fellow of Darwin College, University of 
Cambridge; Jill Jonnes, Historian and author of “Empires of Light: Edison, 
Tesla, Westinghouse and the Race to Electrify the World”;  Iwan Morus, 
Professor of History at Aberystwyth University. (50”)
