Some of the best radio comes from the public networks of the UK, Australia, 
Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S.  Podcasts permit a shift of listening 
time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion.  

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. 

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

(Apologies for the sporadic way these messages have been scattered over the 
last year.  We’ll try to do better.)

“Laura Tingle's Canberra, ten years after the Bangladesh factory collapse, and 
histories of the heart”
LATE NIGHT LIVE - ABC RN (Radio National)
A week before the Australian federal budget is revealed, the pre-announcements 
and hints are building. How the clothing industry has responded to the rights 
abuses exposed by the building collapse of Rana Plaza in Bangladesh, ten years 
ago. And how understandings of the heart have evolved.  (53”)

“Citizen Kane”
IN OUR TIME - BBC Radio 4
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Orson Welles' film, released in 1941, which is 
widely acclaimed as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, films yet made. 
Welles plays the lead role of Charles Foster Kane, a newspaper magnate, and 
Welles directed, produced and co-wrote this story of loneliness at the heart of 
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 
audience and, from that point, become so celebrated. (54”)
