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 (225 minutes this one time) --

[Ed. Note: An true era is coming to an end at ABC Radio National (RN). 85
year old Phillip Adams, who has hosted the network's iconic program Late Night
Live for over 33 years, has retired. There remains on the

of past Late Night Live programs and Phillip Adams interviews on any number of
cultural, current events, political, intellectual and literary topics of
worldwide interest. In honor of this occasion, here is a listing of the

writer, farmer, philosopher, filmmaker — to ever host it again.]

[Ed. Note: BBC Radio 4 does something NPR should emulate. It has a program
that answers listeners questions about Radio 4’s programming decisions and
presentations. Here’s this week’s program.]
FEEDBACK - BBC Radio 4
Four weeks into the UK election campaign, Andrea Catherwood discusses
interruptions and impartiality in political interviews with Today presenter
Nick Robinson and the BBC's Director of Journalism, Jonathan Munro.
Also, we take a dystopian deep dive into Radio 4's Orwell v Kafka weekend. In
all, 10 hours of the network's weekend schedule were given over to the two
authors - including readings of George Orwell's 1984, a dramatisation of Franz
Kafka's The Trial and six half hour discussions hosted by Ian Hislop and Helen
Lewis. It was loved by many of you, but was a Kafkaesque/Orwellian nightmare
for others. Andrea and Matthew Dodd, Radio 4's Commissioning Editor for Arts,
discuss the thinking behind the idea at the foot of Orwell's statue outside
Broadcasting House.
And after the tragic death of Dr Michael Mosley, we hear Feedback listeners'
tributes to a broadcaster who changed the lives of millions. (28”)

“Political Podcasts: Who’s Listening?”
THE MEDIA SHOW - BBC Radio 4
What's behind the glut of politics podcasts? Hardly a month goes by without a
new title being launched, competing with established brands like The New York
Times’s The Daily and the wildly popular The Rest is Politics with Alastair
Campbell and Rory Stewart. We talk to the team behind the latter about the
secrets of its success, and the opportunities for journalists who want to break
free of the strictures of traditional broadcasting. We also consider their
appeal to politicians and reflect on the dominance of the medium by middle aged
men. Plus we ask how much influence these platforms ultimately have. Also in
the programme, we look at the row engulfing The Washington Post's new British
CEO Will Lewis.
Guests: Baroness Ruth Davidson, Co-presenter, Electoral Dysfunction; Lewis
Goodall, Co-host, The News Agents; Tony Pastor, Co-Founder, Goalhanger

The implication of China's collapse as a viable global economic power,

Zeihan is the author of New York Times bestseller 'The End of the World is Just

He has warned that globalisation as we know it is in its twilight years, with
the US becoming increasingly isolationist and pulling back from its post-war

“Do we need a final farewell?”
THE MORAL MAZE - BBC Radio 4
The way we grieve is changing and that is seen most starkly by the rise of the
direct cremation and the no fuss funeral. I in 5 people of people opted for a
direct cremation last year, a startling figure that’s risen 3 fold in 5 years.
At it’s most basic the direct cremation means the final journey is purely
functional. Body taken unaccompanied to an unknown crematorium. You can even
get the ashes posted back through the letterbox. It's cheaper and you can mark
the last hurrah with a party or memorial service or perhaps even nothing at
all. What does this changing trend say about our respect for human dignity as a
society or is this just another step
in the removal of religion from the lives of a significant part of the
population. Only a quarter of people in the UK now want a religious funeral.
The rise of direct cremation could also be a sign that mourners are throwing
off the shackles of inherited tradition and religious belief to decide how they
want to grieve. Direct cremations and DIY celebrations cut out the reality of
death and if there’s no grieving at the graveside or standing in a crematorium
what do we lose? There's another aspect to consider. The digital afterlife is
one where someone never leaves. Grieftech can keep us in touch with AI loved
ones . Instead of the finality of a funeral we could be conversing forever with
the deceased. Do we need a final farewell?

“Is the rise of the far right in Europe inevitable? It’s complicated.”
THE MINEFIELD - ABC RN (Radio National)
The results of the recent European Parliament elections have only fueled the
growing concern across the member nations of the European Union that far-right,
radical right, Eurosceptic and otherwise anti-immigrant parties are, once
again, on the rise. The fear, in part, is that these latter groups —
particularly when combined with independent MEPs drawn from the far-right
Alternative für Deutschland (Alternative for Germany) and Viktor Orbán’s hard
right Fidesz party in Hungary, among others — will prove successful in
realigning the European Parliament’s policies and priorities, not least
regarding immigration and climate change. So, even if the parliamentary centre
currently holds, the question is: For how long? (54”)

“Extremism has always been part of mainstream America: historian”
IDEAS - CBC Radio One
"This is the hardest lecture I've ever given." 
That's how historian Leonard Moore described his final lecture at McGill 
University in Montreal, where he taught popular — and powerful —  courses on 
American history for more than 30 years. 
The topic of his final lecture was, as Moore put it, "the really difficult 
present." He spoke about the deep polarization in the United States, his home 
country, and the sense that for him and many other experts, the upcoming 
election between President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump may be 
the most pivotal in U.S. history.
It was an emotional farewell to teaching, featuring insights and anxieties 
about where the United States may be headed, and was attended by members of the 
public and friends, family and generations of former students.  (54”)

“Five Canadian Thinkers take the IDEAS 'Reasonableness Questionnaire'”
IDEAS - CBC Radio One
Many laws rely on a distinction between reasonable and unreasonable behaviour.  
According to the influential American philosopher John Rawls, a liberal 
democratic society depends for its existence on the use of "public reason." 
Without this basis, Rawls argued, the society's institutions would collapse.  
Given the importance of telling reasonableness apart from its opposite, IDEAS 
invited five scholars from outside the legal profession to clarify their own 
definition of the term.  Each scholar received one hour to answer a five-part 
questionnaire aimed at drawing out this definition and revealing any potential 
contradictions within it. (54”)

“Salman Rushdie"
FRESH AIR - NPR/WHYY Philadelphia 
Two nights before he was stabbed onstage at a literary event in 2022, Salman 
Rushdie had a nightmare. In his dream, Rushdie was in an ancient Roman 
amphitheater, rolling around on the ground while a gladiator with a spear 
stabbed down at him.
"It certainly felt very vivid and very actual and very scary," Rushdie says. "I 
was rolling about in bed and thrashing around, and my wife had to wake me up." 
His immediate impulse was to cancel his upcoming appearance at the Chautauqua

[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 512

2024-04-10 Thread 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.

IDEAS - CBC Radio One
While Canada was a refuge for thousands of escaped slaves during the U.S. Civil

“Fear, Threats and Intimidation”
THE MEDIA SHOW  - BBC Radio 4 
British counter terrorism officers are investigating the stabbing last Friday 
of an Iranian TV host outside his home in London. Iran International presenter 
Pouria Zeraati was hospitalised, before being discharged and moving to a safe 
place under the supervision of the Metropolitan Police. We talk to British 
Iranian journalist Sima Sabet, who has also been targeted. Have US diplomats 
been targeted by Russian sonic weaponry? A joint report between The Insider, 
Der Spiegel and CBS's 60 Minutes alleges it’s the result of their brains being 
targeted by "directed energy" weapons operated by a secretive Russian military 
unit. We meet one of the journalists involved in the story. In Londonderry 
journalists covering a dissident republican parade on Easter Monday were 
attacked with petrol bombs thrown by masked youths. Politicians have condemned 
the violence. We hear the testimony of one of the reporters targeted. We talk 
to the producers behind the successful BBC reboot of Gladiators. And as Gmail 
celebrates its 20th anniversary, how useful is email today as a form of 
communication? Or has it been overtaken by messaging apps like WhatsApp?
Guests: Sima Sabet, former presenter, Iran International; Dan Baldwin, Managing 
Director, Hungry Bear Media; Julia Hobsbawm, journalist and author; Niall 
Deeney, Derry Correspondent, Belfast Live; Mike Isaac, Tech Reporter, The New

“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”)

Jodie had everything - a good job, great friends and a busy social life. But 
her world was turned upside down when she was targeted by an online abuser who 
posted pornographic deepfakes of her online. Initially turned away by the 
police, she turned detective herself - but nothing could prepare her for what 
she eventually discovers. She now struggles to trust anyone. And what happened

“Secret Sisters. Political Prisoners in Belarus”
CROSSING CONTINENTS - BBC Radio 4 
Belarus has huge numbers of political prisoners - around three times as many as 
in Russia, in a far smaller country. Almost industrial scale arrests began 
after huge, peaceful pro-democracy demonstrations swept the country in 2020 
after Alexander Lukashenko claimed a landslide victory in presidential 
elections. Mr Lukashenko has been in power for 30 years. Protestors said the 
result was a fraud, and that they’d been cheated of their vote. Almost four 
years on, the authorities are still making mass arrests. Many of those detained 
are women. The most prominent woman prisoner, Maria Kolesnikova, a professional 
flute player, has been incommunicado for over a year, with no word at all 
reaching her family or lawyers. Political prisoners are made to wear a yellow 
patch on their clothes. The women say they kept short of food and made to sew 
uniforms for the security forces, to clean the prison yard with rags and shovel 
snow. They speak of undergoing humiliating punishments such as standing in 
parade grounds under the sun for hours. Yet they also tell us of camaraderie 
and warmth in their tiny cells as they try to keep one other going. And women 
on the outside continue to take personal risks to help the prisoners by sending 
in food, warm clothes and letters. (28”)

“Meet the Man who Changed the World Forever”
THE SCIENCE SHOW - ABC RN (Radio National)
Sir Mark Oliphant of Adelaide was the main person missing from the film
Oppenheimer. It was Sir Mark who carried the letter from European scientists
to New York to convince the American President that Hitler was trying to make
an atomic bomb and needed to be beaten to the chilling quest. It led to the
Manhattan Project. Mark also gave us microwave power, initially to equip
planes, later to give us microwave ovens; he helped establish the ANU; was the
first President of the Australian Academy of Science and became governor of
South Australia. He was the 'right hand man' of Sir Ernest Rutherford of NZ
who revealed the atomic nucleus and won the Nobel Prize in 1916. It is often
reported that they "split the atom" and so enabled the incredible power therein
to be released. It was this, as well as the Manhattan Project, that made Sir
Mark Oliphant such a voice for peace and tolerance, as this Science Show from
1986 remembers. (54”)

“World Wide Waves '24”
THE DOCUMENTARY - BBC World Service
Radio can be a lifeline for women: a place to speak out in safety; a place to 
find their voices. We hear from women taking to the air and making waves in the 
cracks left by the Taliban in Afghanistan; in Fiji's scattered archipelago 
threatened by climate change; in the migrant farmworker community of the Yakima 
Valley in North America's Pacific north-west; and in the Ecuadorean Amazon, 
where indigenous women are coming together to save their land from pollution 
and destruction by oil companies. A feast of women's voices from around the

“Border Stories - Part One: Zero Tolerance”
ASSIGNMENT - BBC World Service
In 2018 the US government under President Trump introduced a policy of “zero 
tolerance” at its border with Mexico. Anyone attempting to enter the US without 
documentation would be prosecuted, even if it was a first offence. If they were 
travelling with children, their children would be taken from them. The policy 
was cancelled within weeks but not before thousands of families had been 
separated. Six years on, several hundred are still to be reunited. Migration is 
perhaps the most important battleground in this year’s presidential election. 
Both President Biden and his challenger, Donald Trump, have made recent visits 
to the border. And Zero Tolerance still resonates. Linda Pressly hears about 
the pain of separation as experienced by a man from Guatemala; speaks to the 
people still trying to put families back together; and asks if a new 
administration might turn again to Zero Tolerance in an attempt to deter 
would-be migrants to the United States. (26”)

[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 503

2024-02-10 Thread 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.

“The Coffee Chronicles”
IDEAS - CBC Radio One
An ordinary cup of Joe just won’t do anymore. It’s now gourmet, fair trade and 
organic. Whether the method is pour over, French press, or vacuum pumps, coffee 
is now described with terms like “mouthfeel," just as fine wines are. IDEAS 
examines the cultural history behind the world's most popular drink.  (54”)

“EVs”
YOU AND YOURS - BBC Radio 4
A House of Lords report out today claims the Government isn't doing enough to 
get people to adopt EVs. Sales of EVs has slowed according to recent data and 
the report warns a combination of higher purchase costs, insufficient charging 
infrastructure and mixed messaging is behind the slow down. (53”)

“Ukraine - the moral case for ceding land for peace”
THE MORAL MAZE - BBC Radio 4
It’s now nearly two years since Russia began its full scale invasion of
Ukraine. Hopes that Ukraine might seize back its territory have been dashed, in
a conflict that’s become deadlocked. At first it felt clear – the invasion is
wrong, Putin must fail and be seen to fail, Ukraine’s defiance and bravery must
be supported with everything its allies can provide. But as the death,
destruction and bloodshed continues, with little sign of progress on either
side, questions have been raised about how the war might ever be brought to an
end.
How realistic is it for Ukraine to aspire to recapture all of its land, even
Crimea? This year’s US presidential election has sharpened the focus: A Trump
victory could threaten Ukraine’s future supply of arms. Some believe Russia
would settle for the land it has already captured. If so, for Ukraine the
bitter pill of ceding some 20% of its territory would at least bring the war to
an end. But what’s the moral case for this? What’s the real value of peace –
bought at the cost of justice? If western powers are seen to allow aggression
to win the day in Ukraine, what message would that send to Vladimir Putin and
other tyrants around the world? In Ukraine, what’s the moral case for ceding
land for peace? (57”)

“What's Netflix's place in the streaming world?”
COMMOTION - CBC Radio One
Netflix is carving out a space in the professional wrestling world, because
starting next year, the streaming giant is going to be the new home for World
Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Raw and all things WWE in the United States and
Canada.
This deal will last 10 years and is worth approximately $5 billion. Monday
Night Raw is currently the flagship show for WWE, so this deal means that for
the first time, the crown jewel of WWE will not be on cable TV. But at the
same time, Netflix has made a decision that harks back to the cable TV era. It
has cut its cheapest advertisement-free plan in Canada. Comedian Marlon Palmer
and culture critics Jackson Weaver and Stacy Lee Kong join host Elamin
Abdelmahmoud to talk about Netflix's place in the streaming world. (25”)

“U.S. 2.0: What Do We Have in Common?”
HIDDEN BRAIN - NPR
The United States, we’re told, is increasingly a house divided. Conservatives
and progressives are so alienated from each other that conversation is
virtually impossible. But are we really as divided as we’re led to believe? As
we begin what promises to be a pivotal election season, we’re kicking off a new
series about how we form our political beliefs. We’re calling it “US 2.0.” We
begin with psychologist Kurt Gray, who studies how we think about our political
allies and opponents — and how these insights can help us to chart a new path
forward. (56”)

promotion of Ecuadorian culture. The program detailed below brought HCJB to

“Fitur 2024: Ecuador partners with Madrid's tourism fair”
ENGLISH LANGUAGE BROADCAST - Radio Exterior de Espana
On this special broadcast we visit Fitur, the international tourism fair that's
held every year in Madrid. This year's partner is the country of Ecuador,
located in South America and which sits on the Ecuator line, thus, its name.
With a population of 16 million, the country features Amazon jungle, Andean
highlands and the Galapagos Islands. We will stop by its stand in the fair and
learn about some of the things Ecuador has to offer like traditional straw
hats, coffee, butterflies and Miske, an alcoholic beverage made from agave.
Ecuador is the second producer of cocoa after Brazil, and the country's cocoa
beans even has their own name: Arriba beans. These cocoa beans are used to make
chocolate and on this broadcast we will also learn about what is said to be the
"best and most ethical" chocolate in the world with Santiago Peralta, CEO and
founder of Paccari. (31”)

“What do we lose by succumbing to conspiracy-mindedness?”
THE MINEFIELD - ABC RN (Radio National)
If it is fair to say that we are living in a time in which the “paranoid style”
(or what we might call “the conspiratorial mind”) is ubiquitous — reinforced,
no doubt, by both our media ecosystem and the broader digital milieu, fractured
as it is by platforms like Facebook and TikTok — then what do we lose by
succumbing to its habits of “heated exaggeration, suspiciousness, and
conspiratorial fantasy”? Can democracy withstand institutional distrust and
epistemic dissolution of this kind?

Catholic University in Melbourne. She is the co-author, with Mark Chou, of 'How
Local Governments Govern Culture War Conflicts'. (53”)

“Should politics be guided by public opinion?”
MORAL MAZE - BBC Radio 4
Should politicians respect, despise, accommodate or ignore public opinion? Can 
a government get away with ignoring public opinion? Well, it can in 
constituencies it’s never going to win. Politics nowadays is not merely 
‘guided’ by polls, surveys, databases and focus groups… it is controlled by 
them. But is that good for the country? Is the advice they generate either wise 
or moral? Are the public obsessed with issues that don’t matter, while they 
ignore the ones that do? There is a case to be made against taking any notice 
of what the public thinks about anything. We know that the public thinks 
short-term, and that its opinions on political issues are ill-informed. Public 
opinion is inconsistent, incoherent and volatile. And yet democracy is built on 
the principle that the majority must get its way. And it’s not just politicians 
who flatter the electorate with talk of their ‘wisdom’. Lots of people seem to 
think that majority opinion will usually be wise, kind and helpful. But then, 
many also believe the moon landing was staged.  (57”)

“Building Utopias”
THE FAILURE OF THE FUTURE - BBC Radio 4
For decades, artists, scientists and philosophers have dreamed up utopias that 
aim to transform the way we live. But why did they not become the future we are 
living in today? Is there something in those “what-might-have-beens” that’s 
worth returning to? Writer and artist Johny Pitts explores a series of failed 
visions of the future. But rather than discarding them with the sands of time, 
he asks what we can learn from those past projections. And might the rubble of 
these forgotten worlds contain gems that could propel us towards a brighter 
tomorrow? 
In Episode 1, recorded before the earthquake in Japan on 1st January 2024, 
Johny reviews the idealistic plans of Japanese urban planner Kenzo Tange and 
the architects he collaborated with who were known as The Metabolists. They set 
out to create a blueprint for global cities and their work rescued entire 
cities from total devastation. By reviewing their goal of creating a blueprint 
for all global cities, Johny asks whether aspects of their forward-thinking 
ideas are worth harvesting for our own future.  (29”)

“The isolation and imagination of the first female English author”
SOUL SEARCH - ABC-RN (Radio National)
Julian of Norwich, the Medieval mystic and anchoress, continues to inspire
though her writing even after 650 years. Her powerful prose about her religious
revelations, was written in the midst of 14th Century plague-riven Europe.
Julian was the first woman to write in Middle English in the time of Chaucer,
and her writings still exist today because of groups of dedicated women who
smuggled, hid, translated and nurtured them across the centuries.
Professor Daniel Anlezark is McCaughey Professor of Early English Literature
and Language at the University of Sydney. He reads excerpts from 'The Shewings
of Julian of Norwich - Revelations of Divine Love' - (1675 manuscript)
Dr Janina Ramirez is Research Fellow in History of Art at Harris Manchester
College, University of Oxford. She’s the author of 'Julia of Norwich, a very
brief history', and presenter of the BBC documentary 'The Search for the Lost
Manuscript Julian of Norwich'
The Reverend Dr Sally Douglas is lecturer in biblical studies at Pilgrim
Theological college in Melbourne, and a minister of the word in the Uniting
Church. Her new book is 'Jesus Sophia: Returning to Woman Wisdom in the Bible,
Practice, and Prayer’.

“The Theory of the Leisure Class”
IN OUR TIME - BBC World Service
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the most influential work of Thorstein Veblen 
(1857-1929). In 1899, during America’s Gilded Age, Veblen wrote The Theory of 
the Leisure Class as a reminder that all that glisters is not gold. He picked 
on traits of the waning landed class of Americans and showed how the new 
moneyed class was adopting these in ways that led to greater waste throughout 
society. He called these conspicuous leisure and conspicuous consumption and he 
developed a critique of a system that favoured profits for owners without 
regard to social good. The Theory of the Leisure Class was a best seller and 
funded Veblen for the rest of his life, and his ideas influenced the New Deal 
of the 1930s. Since then, an item that becomes more desirable as it becomes 
more expensive is known as a Veblen good.

form of election this year. But how much faith do people around the world still 
have in democracy? In South Africa this year’s election will be a defining one. 
40 years since a post-Apartheid electorate voted in Nelson Mandela, the nation 
is dogged by corruption and voter apathy with less than half expected to turn 
out. So are South Africans seeking an alternative to democracy and what might 
that be? Meanwhile in India there are some concerns the world’s largest 
democracy is slipping into authoritarianism. Prime Minister Modi is a key 
player on the global stage with grand ambitions for India, but his premiership 
has been dogged by allegations of an anti-Muslim stance. So what does his 
continued popularity reveal about the state of democracy in a nation where over 
a billion people are eligible to vote in the general election? In some Western 
nations too, there is a palpable dissatisfaction with democracy. In the US, 
former President Trump’s refusal to accept the 2020 election result led to the 
deadly attack on Congress – a sign for current leader Joe Biden that democracy 
is under threat, not just abroad but at home too. So as we enter a 
record-breaking year for elections, is democracy itself on the line?

THE CORRESPONDENTS LOOK AHEAD TO 2024 - BBC World Service
Nuala McGovern asks some of the BBC's top correspondents from around the world 
to gaze into their crystal balls and predict what 2024 might have in store. 
2023 has been dominated by the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel and Gaza and a 
global cost of living crisis. Next year will see nearly half of the world’s 
population going to the polls - 40 elections are scheduled to take place next 
year, in countries including the USA, UK, South Africa, India, Russia and 
Pakistan. How will the results of some of those elections shift the 
geopolitical tectonic plates - and will we see any resolution to those 
conflicts? Big questions, but luckily we have some of the BBC's best minds on 
hand to provide plenty of answers. Contributors: Yogita Limaye, BBC South Asia 
and Afghanistan Correspondent Lyse Doucet, BBC Chief International

“Twenty Years of Change in China”
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT - BBC World Service
Pascale Harter introduces insights, analysis and experience from correspondents 
and reporters around the world. 
It's been twenty years since the BBC Beijing correspondent Stephen McDonnell 
first set foot in China to begin studying Mandarin. Back then, the city was 
still full of smokestack factories, old-fashioned neighbourhoods and noisy dive 
bars. Today, everything is far more developed - but have all the changes been 
positive? He reflects on the many ways in which Chinese life has been 
transformed - everywhere from academic institutions to long-distance trains. 
The bayous or wetlands of Louisiana are no strangers to climate disaster or 
environmental damage - but now they're eroding away at a frightening rate. Beth 
Timmins travels the waterways with a member of the Pointe-au-Cheine Native 
American group, to see the impact that storms, pollution and land loss are 
having on homesteads and ancestral sites.
And in Bolivia, the streams and lakes are alive with a different kind of 
concern - over a invasive species from the Peruvian Amazon which is gobbling up 
everything in its path. The paiche is a huge, voracious and wily fish, whose 
flesh and skin can be made into everything from croquettes to curtains - and 
for some communities, that makes it a valuable new resource. Jane Chambers goes 
on her own hunt for a river giant.  (23”)

“Recipes for Long Life”
THE FOOD PROGRAMME - BBC Radio 4
Dan Buettner believes that "when a ritual lasts for hundreds or thousands of 
years, like prayer before a meal, it serves some purpose". Dan is the 
best-selling author of and founder of The Blue Zones; five parts of the world 
where people tend to live much longer and healthier lives, many into their 
hundreds. In this programme, Leyla Kazim finds out more about the culinary 
aspects of his research, discovering what is eaten in the Blue Zones, what 
isn't being eaten, and some of the practices that exist around meal times. 
She also meets two academics whose work focusses on how to help people living 
in the UK live longer and healthier. Liz Williams from the Healthy LifeSpan 
Institute at the University of Sheffield explains that although the current 
life expectancy for people in the UK is just over 81 years - our average 
'healthy life' expectancy is much lower, at around 63. Dr Oliver Shannon from 
The University of Newcastle explains how some of the Blue Zones observational 
findings are consistent with research they have been doing into the impact of 
the Mediterranean diet on brain health. The promise of a long healthy life is 
all well and good - but as we know the reality of diets is that they are 
impossibly hard to keep to. So could choosing to make a 'lifestyle' change be 
any easier to stick with? Leyla hears from Jean Newton who in her 70s has done 
just that.  (30”)

“Bruce Springsteen Has a Gift He Keeps on Giving”
THE NEW YORKER RADIO HOUR - WNYC Studios
After nearly half a century, the singer-songwriter has cemented his status as a
rock-and-roll legend. But, true to form, he hasn’t rested on his laurels. At
seventy-four, Bruce Springsteen has been cementing his status as a
rock-and-roll legend for almost fifty years: he released his widely heralded,
but not initially widely heard, début, “Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.” in
1973. But, true to form, the artist who became known to his fans as the Boss
hasn’t rested on his laurels. After weathering a spate of health troubles this
past year, which led him to cancel much of his tour, the rock icon plans to hit
the road again in the new year, all over the U.S., Canada, and Europe. When
Springsteen published his autobiography, “Born to Run,” back in 2016, David
Remnick called it “as vivid as his songs, with that same pedal-to-the-floor
quality, and just as honest about the struggles in his own life.” In October of
that year, Springsteen appeared at the New Yorker Festival for an intimate
conversation with the editor. (The event sold out in six seconds.) This entire
episode is dedicated to that conversation. Springsteen tells Remnick how, as a
young musician gigging around New Jersey, he decided to up his game: “I’m going
to have to write some songs that are fireworks. . . . I needed to do something
that was more original.” They talked for more than an hour about Springsteen’s
tortured relationship with his father, his triumphant audition for the
legendary producer John Hammond, and his struggles with depression. As
Springsteen explains it, his tremendously exuberant concert performances were a
form of catharsis: “I had had enough of myself by that time to want to lose
myself. So I went onstage every night to do exactly that.” (50”)

The Murdoch media mogul that we've come to know is almost unrecognisable from
Rupert Murdoch, the youth. Author Walter Marsh discusses the era that shaped
young Rupert, the radical who espoused socialism, kept a bust of Lenin in his
uni accommodation and then went on to build his empire from 1950s Adelaide.

"The Greyhound Diaries 2023”
ARCHIVE ON 4 - BBC Radio 4
American singer-songwriter Doug Levitt expected his tour to last just the six
weeks printed on the face of the Greyhound pass he bought. The idea was to
compose a fuller portrait of the United States by writing songs about the lives
and struggles of fellow riders. That was over 15 years, 100 songs and 150,000
miles back.
Travel by Greyhound is a favored lower-cost option for people who are often
just scraping by on the margins of society; many living through profound
challenges with employment, family relationships, addiction and incarceration.
On the bus, after many hours on the road sitting next to a stranger the stories
begin to flow. Maybe it’s the hypnotic rumble of the bus wheels beneath. Or
sitting side-by-side staring straight ahead into darkness as passing headlights
and taillights streak by. Coming from disparate lives, our stories are where we
meet, they are the crossroads of human experience. In 2018, Levitt traveled
with radio producer David Goren on a cross-country trip for Greyhound Diaries,
and again in 2022 and ‘23. Drawing from more than 75 hours of sound recordings
we encounter riders, stations, drivers and highways from New York to California
and Minnesota to Texas. We hear from Charmaine, a professional care-giver on
her way to a job in Wisconsin; Ricky, a father of 6 who transcended teenage
fatherhood and the gang life; Ronald, just released from prison after 15 months
for drug dealing; and Melissa, who moved her sons away from a violent
neighborhood in Chicago.

Phil plays everything with a friendly — to all kinds of music and listeners — 
attitude and a minimum of chat.  Listeners outside NZ can make requests and 
dedications as well as listeners in NZ, but they have to be made during the 
week prior to allow for program preparation.  This is a delightful five hours

“Jessica Pratt's Mad Scenes, learning Anindilyakwa with Shellie Morris, &
remembering Sinéad O'Connor and Tony Bennett”
THE MUSIC SHOW - ABC RN (Radio National)
- Opera is full of mad scenes, particularly those written in the 19th century
in Italy, but there's a trend - none of the men ever go mad, only the women. In
fact, the preoccupation with "mad women" in opera and throughout a range of art
forms during this era is telling of how 19th-century society viewed mental
health and the role of women - mostly written by men. By exploring these operas
and portrayal of women, coloratura soprano Jessica Pratt has become quite fond
of characters like Amina from Bellini's La sonnambula and the perhaps more
recognisable, Lucia from Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, a character that
Jessica has played over 100 times. She has distilled five operas from Italy's
Bel Canto composers into a concert program of "Mad Scenes," that not only has
challenging vocal acrobatics, but also unpacks how and why these characters go
mad, which, when you hear their stories, will make a lot of sense.
- Shellie Morris is a singer and songwriter working with remote communities to
preserve some of the worlds oldest languages through music. Most recently, she
has been working with the Groote Eylandt Language Centre to write songs in
their language, Anindilyakwa. Shellie speaks about the collaborative process of
writing an album of songs with the translators at the Language Centre and being
able to ordering a strong coffee on the island.
- And we remember two distinctive voices of of our time, Tony Bennett who has
died at the age of 96, and Sinéad O'Connor, at the age of 56. (54”)

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

“Hiding in Plain Sight: It’s All Marketing”
UNDER THE INFLUENCE - CBC Radio One
So many things in our world are influenced by marketing. This week, we look at
various aspects of our lives influenced by marketing – but you wouldn’t know
it. It’s marketing hiding in plain sight. Like the concept of jaywalking – born
of marketing. How marketing created the 10,000-steps-a-day health goal. And how
marketing was the inspiration for one of the most popular TV series that
everyone is talking about right now. (28”)

“Climate Activism”
THE MORAL MAZE - BBC Radio 4
Wimbledon, the Ashes, the Proms and George Osborne’s wedding have all been
interrupted by ‘Just Stop Oil’ protesters in recent days. Several areas of
London have been brought to a standstill, provoking the ire of motorists and
leading to multiple arrests. ‘Just Stop Oil’ describes itself as a “nonviolent
civil resistance group demanding the UK Government stop licensing all new oil,
gas and coal projects”. The Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he wouldn't be
“giving in to eco-zealots” disrupting the British summer. The group’s
supporters believe that blocking traffic, interrupting sporting events and
vandalising artwork, are entirely proportionate in the face of an existential
crisis bequeathed to our children and grandchildren. Right now, they argue,
parts of Europe are literally on fire, and there is no more time left to wait
for those in power to do the right thing. Their critics object to the fact that
the targets of the protests are often ordinary people, who have more immediate
concerns like the rising cost of living. Moreover, some believe the use of
apocalyptic language is less likely to elicit a change in behaviour, since
despair, like indifference, is not a good motivator. How might our descendants
judge today’s climate activists? Successful movements for social change, like
the Suffragettes, have historically been disrupters who, in the face of
inaction, adopt increasingly radical tactics. For some, the spirit they embody
is irrepressible and necessary, which means that their methods cannot always be
peaceful. For others, social progress can only be fully achieved through
conventional democratic means. Are acts of civil disobedience and sabotage by
climate activists morally justifiable? (58”)

“Look Up: How the Sistine Chapel Changed this Canadian Author's Life”
IDEAS - CBC Radio One
Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel may be one of the most exalted 
works of art in the world, but Michelangelo's own relationship with it was 
complicated. Canadian writer and Rome resident Jeannie Marshall had a 
complicated relationship with it, reflecting her family's tormented 
relationship with the Catholic Church. Fellow Canadian and Rome resident Megan 
Williams met with her to visit the Sistine Chapel and talk about Marshall's 
book, 'All Things Move: Learning to Look in the Sistine Chapel' — a reflection 
on the power of art to move and provoke us and to transcend even the 
historical, social and religious context that so powerfully shaped it. (54”)

“Rain”
SOMETHING UNDERSTOOD - BBC Radio 4
St. Swithun's day is arguably the most British of all Saints days, associated 
as it is with one of the nations most popular topics of conversation: the 
weather. More specifically of course, it's associated with rain as the saint is 
most commonly prayed to in times of drought and tradition has it that, if it 
rains on St Swithun's day, it will rain solidly for the next forty days. Mark 
Tully considers the emotional impact rain has upon us in a summer that has 
already seen its fair share of it. With readings provided by Longfellow, Tagore 
and Langston Hughes and a range of evocative music from Chopin and Debussy to 
Ella Fitzgerald and the Portuguese Fado singer Mariza. Why go out in the rain, 
when you can stay inside and listen to it on the radio? (28”)

“The Andean Philosophy: The Huarochiri Manuscript"
IDEAS - CBC Radio One
The Huarochirí Manuscript is one of the few surviving records of Indigenous 
Andean philosophy and Quechua worldviews in the early modern era. Compiled in 
the late 16th century, it was once used by the Catholic Church to identify 
"idolatries." But today, the manuscript is an important tool for recovering and 
reconstructing metaphysical concepts the Catholic Church tried to eradicate. 
Jorge Sanchez-Perez, assistant professor of philosophy at the University of 
Alberta, speaks with Nahlah Ayed about what the manuscript reveals about Andean 
metaphysics, including ideas about animal-human relations and the nature of 
time. (54”)

“Butterfly Effect; Smartphones May Be our Greatest Tool for Outdoor and Indoor
Navigation”
SPARK - CBC Radio One
GPS and its kindred Global Navigation Satellite Systems has taken over from the
traditional compass. From the compass to positioning satellites orbiting
earth, wayfinding tools have largely focused on helping us find our way through
the outdoor world, but indoor navigation technology has also come a long way in
its short history. Use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and more
broadly, the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), for civilian navigation
largely began in 2000. Once people saw how this technology could give them a
one or two-metre accurate position when they were outdoors, it started creating
a demand for similar services indoors. (54”)

“The Human Drive to Connect – and Divide”
ALL IN THE MIND - ABC RN (Radio National)
It's human nature to form groups — families, friends, online communities. We
love to be surrounded by people similar to us.
But that can also make us discriminatory and defensive. And social media makes
that instinct worse. In this episode, we look at how our brains evolved to
connect and divide, and what that means for the problems we face in our modern
world.
Guest: Dr Mark Williams, Cognitive neuroscientist and Author, "The Connected
Species: How the Evolution of the Human Brain Can Save the World" (29”)

“The Battle of Lepanto”
IN OUR TIME - BBC Radio 4
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss The Battle of Lepanto, 1571, the last great sea
battle between galleys, in which the Catholic fleet of the Holy League of
principally Venice, Spain, the Papal States, Malta, Genoa, and Savoy defeated
the Ottoman forces of Selim II. When much of Europe was divided over the
Reformation, this was the first major victory of a Christian force over a
Turkish fleet. The battle followed the Ottoman invasion of Venetian Cyprus and
decades in which the Venetians had been trying to stop the broader westward
expansion of the Ottomans into the Mediterranean. The outcome had a great
impact on morale in Europe and Pope Pius V established a feast day of Our Lady
of Victory. Some historians call it the most significant sea battle since
Actium (31 BC). However, the Ottomans viewed the loss as less significant than
their victory in Cyprus and, within two years, the Holy League had broken up.
With: Diarmaid MacCulloch, Professor of the History of the Church at the
University of Oxford; Kate Fleet, Director of the Skilliter Centre for Ottoman
Studies and Fellow of Newnham College, University of Cambridge; Noel Malcolm, A

Inclusive design isn’t just about meeting the needs of the disabled, it’s about
opening-up the possibility of creating better products and services for
everyone. New technologies are supporting inclusion. But there are also
challenges. Most Artificial Intelligence programs deliberately look for
patterns when processing data. But by ignoring the outliers, they risk
perpetuating a form of inadvertent prejudice.
Original broadcast on November 5, 2017.

“Zeno’s Paradoxes”
IN OUR TIME - BBC Radio 4 
In a programme first broadcast in 2016, Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Zeno of 
Elea, a pre-Socratic philosopher from c490-430 BC whose paradoxes were 
described by Bertrand Russell as "immeasurably subtle and profound." The best 
known argue against motion, such as that of an arrow in flight which is at a 
series of different points but moving at none of them, or that of Achilles who, 
despite being the faster runner, will never catch up with a tortoise with a 
head start. Aristotle and Aquinas engaged with these, as did Russell, yet it is 
still debatable whether Zeno's Paradoxes have been resolved. 
With: Marcus du Sautoy, Professor of Mathematics and Simonyi Professor for the 
Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford; Barbara Sattler,

“The Black Cantor”
SUNDAY FEATURE - BBC Radio 3 
Known in Yiddish as Der Schvartze Khazn--the Black Cantor--Thomas LaRue Jones 
was an African American tenor who sang Jewish music in the early decades of the 
twentieth century. Famed for his soulful voice and perfect Yiddish 
pronunciation, he performed in synagogues and theatres across the Eastern 
United States and toured Germany, Poland and Palestine. But after his death in 
1954, LaRue Jones disappeared from memory, leaving behind only one recording, 
made in 1923. Drawing on research by the veteran musician and producer Henry 
Sapoznik, Maria Margaronis unpacks the mystery of LaRue Jones' career. What 
drew him to this music? What does his life tell us about race, faith and 
identity in America a hundred years ago? And why was he so quickly and utterly 
forgotten? 
LaRue Jones' story is entwined with the history of Newark, New Jersey, where he 
spent most of his life. Once known as the City of Opportunity, old Newark drew 
migrants from Europe and the American South in flight from persecution and 
searching for a new life. Blacks and Jews lived side by side in the city's 
poorer districts, absorbing each other's culture and musical traditions. But by 
mid-century, Newark's Jews were moving out in search of the suburban dream. 
Black people, hemmed in by racism and housing segregation, were left behind in 
an increasingly impoverished city. Thirteen years after LaRue Jones' death, the 
Newark riots, or rebellion, sealed the division of the two communities. LaRue 
Jones, like the world that made him, was consigned to oblivion--until zealous 
research by Henry Sapoznik tracked down that one recording and LaRue Jones' 
unmarked grave, and raised the curtain on the Black Cantor once more.  (44”)

[Ed. Note: FUTURE TENSE is one of my favorite programs for its ability to put
into present context the dizzying pace of technological invention. This

also foreboding — is that what’s discussed here over four years ago is even
more relevant today than it was then. As to the program itself, pay special
attention to how the problems democratic systems are experiencing in meeting
the public’s expectations might be addressed by judiciously applying artificial
intelligence (AI).]

a megalomaniac. The plot was partly inspired by the life of William Randolph
Hearst, who then used the power of his own newspapers to try to suppress the
film’s release. It was to take some years before Citizen Kane reached a fuller

If you’re looking for a light, pleasant presentation of an enjoyable mix of pop 
music, you could do worse that tuning in to “Late Date” on RTE Radio 1 in 
Ireland.  It starts most nights at 2300 UT, dinner hour in the NA eastern 
standard time zone.  It has listeners all over the world, not just in Ireland.  
One listener once actually messaged the program from a plane flying over 
Colorado and they read the message (and played his song request)!

I should know.  I sent the message.  :)

“Why We Play--Adolescence: Discovering Identity through Play”
THE COMPASS - BBC World Service
As we grow into adolescence, the playfulness of childhood seems to disappear. 
Teenagers discovering their identity are engaged in a serious quest. There are 
unwritten rules to learn and to follow, and to be too spontaneous puts you at 
risk of ridicule. But while teenagers are less playful they are playing 
nonetheless, the obvious examples being sport and video games. As today’s 
teenagers live in a culture where the boundaries of the real and virtual are 
ever more fluid, video games offer a space free of adult supervision, where 
they can make friends (both on and offline), rehearse their identities, and 
accumulate “cultural capital”. Far from the stereotypes of the solitary gamer 
playing violent shooter games, many of today’s successful video games help 
teenagers to navigate issues of anxiety, depression, and identity. In Lagos, we 
find researchers using virtual reality games to help schoolchildren to 
understand and develop empathy for those from different ethnic backgrounds. And 
we ask whether playfulness can help teenagers and young adults communicate 
messages to potential partners.  (27”)

“Rawls’ Theory of Justice"
IN OUR TIME - BBC Radio 4
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss "A Theory of Justice" by John Rawls (1921 - 
2002) which has been called the most influential book in twentieth century 
political philosophy. It was first published in 1971. Rawls drew on his own 
experience in WW2 and saw the chance in its aftermath to build a new society, 
one founded on personal liberty and fair equality of opportunity. While in that 
just society there could be inequalities, Rawls’ radical idea was that those 
inequalities must be to the greatest advantage not to the richest but to the 
worst off. With: Fabienne Peter Professor of Philosophy at the University of 
Warwick; Martin O’Neill Professor of Political Philosophy at the University of 
York; and Jonathan Wolff The Alfred Landecker Professor of Values and Public 
Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford and Fellow 
of Wolfson College.  (61")

[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 465

2023-01-22 Thread John A . Figliozzi

Podcasts permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually
any convenient occasion. Some of the best radio comes from the public networks
of the UK, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S. While there
are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of great podcasts from other sources, the ones
sponsored via public radio have been vetted though the worthy objectives of the
medium.

I personally curate this now resuming series of small samplings that are listed
in more or less 90 minute helpings. Admittedly that makes these recommendations
somewhat subjective. But, as you will see, my interests are many and my
tolerance for incompatible topics and views are pretty wide-ranging. I hope

“John Donne”
IN OUR TIME - BBC Radio 4
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Donne (1573-1631), known now as one of
England’s finest poets of love and notable in his own time as an astonishing
preacher. He was born a Catholic in a Protestant country and, when he married
Anne More without her father's knowledge, Donne lost his job in the government
circle and fell into a poverty that only ended once he became a priest in the
Church of England. As Dean of St Paul’s Cathedral, his sermons were celebrated,
perhaps none more than his final one in 1631 when he was plainly in his dying
days, as if preaching at his own funeral.

“The Irish Rebellion of 1798”
IN OUR TIME - BBC Radio 4
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the momentum behind rebellion in Ireland in 
1798, the people behind the rebellion and the impact over the next few years 
and after. Amid wider unrest, the United Irishmen set the rebellion on its way, 
inspired by the French and American revolutionaries and their pursuit of 
liberty. When it broke out in May the United Irishmen had an estimated two 
hundred thousand members, Catholic and Protestant, and the prospect of a French 
invasion fleet to back them. Crucially for the prospects of success, some of 
those members were British spies who exposed the plans and the military were 
largely ready - though not in Wexford where the scale of rebellion was much 
greater. The fighting was initially fierce and brutal and marked with 
sectarianism but had largely been suppressed by the time the French arrived in 
August to declare a short-lived republic. The consequences of the rebellion 
were to be far reaching, not least in the passing of Acts of Union in 1800.

"The Wild West of Whisky: From Cask Investments to Dram Scams”
THE FOOD PROGRAMME - BBC Radio 4
Whisky has long been associated with money and wealth, but in recent years 
prices of rare casks and limited bottlings have soared. A cask of Islay whisky 
sold for a record-breaking £16 million last year, and the number of cask 
investment companies is growing, with many of them promising investors big 
profits and the chance to own their very own cask of Scotch whisky. 
Behind the headlines and dollar signs, some industry experts are concerned at 
the practices of certain companies, worried that their promised returns are 
unrealistic and questioning their suitability to trade in some cases.  (29”)

"How long before all the ice melts?"
CROWDSCIENCE - BBC Radio 4
We know the Earth's atmosphere is warming and it's thanks to us and our taste
for fossil fuels. But how quickly is this melting the ice sheets, ice caps, and
glaciers that remain on our planet? That's what listener David wants to know.
With the help of a team of climate scientists in Greenland, Marnie Chesterton
goes to find the answer, in an icy landscape that's ground zero in the story of
thawing. She discovers how Greenland’s ice sheet is sliding faster off land,
and sees that the tiniest of creatures are darkening the ice surface and
accelerating its melt. CrowdScience explores what we're in store for when it
comes to melting ice. In the lead-up to yet another UN climate conference, we
unpack what is contributing to sea level rise – from ice sheets in Greenland
and Antarctica, to melting mountain glaciers and warming oceans. There's a lot
of ice at the poles. The question is: how much of it will still be there in the
future? Research Professor and climate scientist Jason Box from the Geological
Survey of Denmark and Greenland shows us how much ice Greenland we've already
committed ourselves to losing, even if we stopped burning all fossil fuels
today. His team, including Jakob Jakobsen, show us how these scientists collect
all this data that helps feed climate models and helps us all to understand how
quickly the seas might rise. Professor Martyn Trantor from Aarhus University
helps us understand why a darkening Greenland ice sheet would only add to the
problem of melting. And climate scientist Ruth Mottram from the Danish
Meteorological Institute breaks down how the ice is breaking down in Antarctica
and other glaciers around the world. (32”)

“Costly Floods and Chokepoint Capitalism”
THE MONEY - ABC RN (Radio National)
The flood events of 2022 are now the most costly natural disaster on record.
Since February/March the total insured losses are around 5.5 billion dollars
and it's climbing every day says Andrew Hall, CEO of Insurance Council
Australia. Much more needs to be done in building resilience mitigation. And,
tugboats. They're relatively small but they carry a lot of weight. Not just in
the ships they pull but the monopoly they have within supply chains. Flavio
Macau from Edith Cowan University, explains how they are an example of a
chokepoint. That's an area Melbourne University's Professor of Law, Rebecca
Giblin has been exploring. How chokepoint capitalism has become a defining
feature of the modern economy. Using the creative industries, Rebecca, along
with her co-author Cory Doctorow, look at how monopolies use their power to
crush competition and lock in both creators and customers. But, there are
solutions to combat this as outlined in their book Chokepoint Capitalism.

Flavio Macau, Associate Professor at Edith Cowan University.
Rebecca Giblin, ARC Future Fellow, Professor at Melbourne Law School and

Danielle Nerman talks to a woman who remembers budget meals of wieners and
beans, and explains how agricultural technology and a globalized food system
gave us the last four decades of historically cheap food.
- Online returns cost retailers millions of dollars. Now some companies are
pushing back. In the UK, retailers like Zara and Uniqlo are starting to charge
customers to return online purchases. Here in Canada, an online fashion website
has come up with its own solution — customers ship their returned item to the
next customer who wants it.
Think of it as "returning it forward.”
- People have been pumping the tires for hydrogen for a long time. But now,
some believe it is closer than ever to fulfilling its promise. Paul
Haavardsrud talks to the Mayor of Stephenville, Newfoundland — where residents
are buzzing about the billions that could be spent in their community. But only

"THE NAME’S DESANTIS" - BBC Radio 4
Under Donald Trump Ron DeSantis rode the MAGA wave to to the governor job in 
Florida. For some, he's a "smart Trump". For others, a "troll" who, with a 
series of eye-catching stunts and pronouncements, has dominated headlines and 
is now viewed as a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2024. 
From transporting migrants to the millionaires' playground of Martha's Vineyard 
to taking on Disney over so-called "Don't Say Gay" legislation, this is a 
politician who has weaponised the culture wars to enormous effect. For 
liberals, he's a cruel, socially awkward bogeyman, to his supporters, a 
resolute strongman turning the tide against corrosive “wokeism". James Naughtie 
profiles the man who, if he does turn his eye to The White House, may have to 
take the gloves off with the man who many say made him - Donald Trump. The 
program features Fernanda Santos of Futuro Media, Mike Binder of the University

[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 455

2022-11-13 Thread John A . Figliozzi

Podcasts permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually 
any convenient occasion.  Some of the best radio comes from the public networks 
of the UK, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S.  While there 
are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of great podcasts from other sources, the ones 
sponsored via public radio have been vetted though the worthy objectives of the 
medium. 

I personally curate this now resuming series of small samplings that are listed 
in more or less 90 minute helpings. Admittedly that makes these recommendations 
somewhat subjective.  But, as you will see, my interests are many and my 
tolerance for incompatible topics and views are pretty wide-ranging.  I hope 
you will find these suggestions helpful in enhancing your enjoyment of radio.

[Ed. Note:  I rediscovered this program via Sirius/XM satellite radio on a 
morning drive from Boston to Albany, NY this morning and was reminded of what a 
fine weekly audio “rotogravure” it has been for decades now.  I urge you to 
rediscover it for yourself.] 

“Sunday November 13, 2022 Program”
THE SUNDAY MAGAZINE - CBC Radio One
1. How abortion rights shaped the results of the U.S. midterm elections
Amid the uncertainty surrounding the midterm elections in the United States, 
voters delivered a show of support for reproductive rights. Canadian-American 
lawyer and journalist Dahlia Lithwick joins Chattopadhyay to offer analysis on 
how the issue shaped the results, how access to abortion was impacted in some 
states, what the future makeup of congress might mean for Americans, and what 
lies ahead for the Supreme Court post-election.  (22”) 
2. Remembering the Canadian veteran who led the WHO
More than a century after the First World War, Canadian historian Robert C. 
Engen tells the story of George Brock Chisholm, a soldier from Oakville, Ont. 
whose military experience informed his decision to become a psychiatrist. His 
work changed the way the Canadian military assessed recruits – for both mental 
and physical fitness – before sending them to war. Chisholm later became the 
celebrated first director-general of the World Health Organization. As we mark 
Remembrance Day, Engen says Chisholm's achievements remind us of the potential 
lost in every war. (11’)
3. What layoffs at Twitter and Meta might mean for the future of Big Tech
Nearly 15,000 tech workers were laid off this month at two of the world's 
largest social media companies, as Twitter and Facebook's parent company Meta 
make big changes they say are necessary to remain competitive. But science 
fiction author, activist and writer Cory Doctorowbelieves the layoffs are just 
the latest example of workers bearing the brunt of poor decision-making by tech 
billionaires. Doctorow joins Chattopadhyay to talk about his new book, 
Chokepoint Capitalism, which explores the fight for better labour standards in 
Big Tech and makes the case for collective action to keep the Elon Musks and 
Mark Zuckerbergs of the world in check. (25”)
4. Why El Jones believes in a world without prisons
A recent report from Canada's top prison watchdog offered a bleak picture of 
this country's track record when it comes to incarcerated people, particularly 
Black and Indigenous prisoners. It found those inmates face rampant racial 
discrimination, bias and stereotyping. And in many cases, it's getting worse. 
Chattopadhyay speaks with long-time prisoner advocate, poet, professor, and 
activist El Jones, who believes there is a clear, if not simple, way forward: 
Get rid of prisons altogether. Her new book, Abolitionist Intimacies, examines 
the prison abolition movement, shares personal stories of prisoners and their 
families, as well as Jones's own poetry and prose. (25”)

“The Mid-Terms 1 - Groomers”
THE COMING STORM - BBC Radio 4
As America goes out to vote for the first time since the tumultuous aftermath 
of the 2020 election, Gabriel Gatehouse is back in the deep undergrowth of the 
US political scene, in a bid to understand where the dark energy underpinning 
the January 6 assault on the Capitol is going now. Some of the energy from the 
QAnon conspiracy theory about a satanic cabal of paedophiles is morphing into a 
grassroots political movement against ‘groomers’ – the idea that LGBTQI+ sex 
educators and trans healthcare advocates are indoctrinating young people into a 
sexualised culture. The battleground is America’s school boards and the prize 
could be a galvanised Republican base with a new crusade. At a conference in 
Miami of thinkers shaping the future ideas of the right, Gabriel finds the 
issue top of the agenda. And across the country, a slate of candidates linked 
to QAnon is running for office – how will they fare?  (43”)

extreme right.
Guests:
David Corn the Washington Bureau Chief of Mother Jones Magazine and author of

[Internetradio] Europe East

2022-07-30 Thread John A. Figliozzi

Those seeking more in-depth news of events in Ukraine as well as eastern Europe 
in general should consider becoming a regular listener to Radio Poland’s daily 
news magazine “Europe East”.  Radio Poland in the external service of Polskie 
Radio.  It once was heard on shortwave but some time ago increased its coverage 
to 24/7 in English and transferred its output to a reliable Internet stream.  
“Europe East” is a half hour broadcast several times a day seven days a week.
Refer to:
https://www.polskieradio.pl/395,English-Section
for schedule and further info about station.  In addition, most Internet stream 
amalgamators and WiFi radios provide easy access to the station; and the 
station also offers its own downloadable app.

The BBC Radio 4 program “The World at One” today had a brief (too brief, in my 
opinion) piece on the ability of radio — the “wireless” — to penetrate 
sequestered locations with information where all else, including social media 
and the Internet fails. Maybe the tiniest bit of intelligence in this regard is 
just starting to be realized again in the wider world of communications. 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m00153y7

The report starts around 27 minutes into this 30 minute program.

some breaks in the stream but it remains mostly intact.  There are reports that

to evacuate as it prepares to attack critical infrastructure (and likely 
residential buildings) in the heart of the city.

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 
when weather permits.  Hence…Podding Along!

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 sources. 

This continuing series of small samplings in more or less 90 minute helpings 
are curated by me.  I attest to the fact that I have listened to every podcast 
listed here.  So admittedly these are thoroughly subjective recommendations.  
But my interests and tolerance for incompatible topics and views are pretty 
wide-ranging, even if I do say so myself.

[Internetradio] NYTimes: China’s Leash on Hong Kong Tightens, Choking a Broadcaster

2020-07-08 Thread John A. Figliozzi

For those unaware, RTHK3 — the network’s English language channel — has stood 
in sharp contrast to CRI for its factual journalistic coverage of Hong Kong 
principally but also at times of mainland China.  The station can be heard over 
the Internet by overseas listeners and I’ve been a regular listener for years.  
Sadly, that important and singular source appears to be drying up as Beijing 
tightens the noose around Hong Kong’s freedoms — freedoms the Chinese promised 
to respect until at least 2049 under its agreement with the UK at handover.

[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 306

2020-06-06 Thread John A. 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.

Podcasting has expanded almost exponentially so very quickly that it can justly 
be considered a medium all its own.  Therefore, the attempt here has to be to 
highlight only a small portion of it, just one corner where excellence reigns.

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 or 
less):

has been gradually decoupling from resource consumption. So, if capitalism 
survives this current crisis, we may need to adapt our understanding of the way 
it all works.  We also hear from Annmaree O’Keeffe, from the Lowy Institute’s 
Pacific Islands Program, about the value of Australia’s international public 
broadcasting effort now that the Pacific is once again an Australian 
geopolitical focus.  (30”)

[Internetradio] Podding Along - Issue 305

2020-06-06 Thread John A. 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.

Podcasting has expanded almost exponentially so very quickly that it can justly
be considered a medium all its own. Therefore, the attempt here has to be to
highlight only a small portion of it, just one corner where excellence reigns.

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 or
less):

“Jane Mayer On How Mitch McConnell Became Trump's 'Enabler-In-Chief'”
FRESH AIR - NPR and WHYY Philadelphia
'New Yorker' staff writer Jane Mayer talks about how the Senate majority leader
has thrown his support behind the President, and allowed the president to
diminish congressional power — in spite of the fact that Trump and McConnell
are opposites in several ways. Mayer says McConnell's refusal to rein in Trump
is looking riskier than ever. Also, TV critic David Bianculli bids farewell to
'Homeland' and welcomes back 'Penny Dreadful' on Showtime. (49”)

Re: [Internetradio] SIGINT CHATTER: Radio Moscow and the Cold War

2020-05-23 Thread John A. Figliozzi

The 1960s were pre-NPR by a significant measure.  WNYC then was municipally 
owned by the City of New York (WNYE was and may still be owned of the New York 
City Board of Education) and it’s output more resembled that of present day 
Pacifica (which owns WBAI today) than present day NPR.  Mayor Fiorello 
LaGuardia famously used WNYC to read the comic pages to children during one of 
the city’s lengthy mid century newspaper strikes.

[Internetradio] Fwd: [WOR] RNZ guts Concert radio as it plans appeal to youth

2020-02-05 Thread John A. Figliozzi

Big changes appear to be coming to both RNZ and RTE.  This one is 
understandable but regrettable — especially if the plan is to replace Concert 
with a automated impersonal service online.  Online is fine but the curated 
classical programming now on Concert is some of the best available anywhere.  
Such a loss is to be regretted anytime.
