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 other day (when it’s not cold and wet or I haven’t succumbed to laziness). The “art” 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.
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): —— “Bruce Shapiro and the State of the Nation, Mexico’s New Revolution, How Forensics Solved the Bali Bombing” LATE NIGHT LIVE - ABC RN In Trumplandia this week, a new Supreme Court appointment looms - and chaos over immigration continues.

After a tense stand-off, two of the major parties in Germany's governing coalition appear to have reached an agreement on migration. But does the deal simply postpone a crisis? While Emmeline Pankhurst campaigned for equality at the polls, another band of heroic women fought for equal swimming rights at Britain’s beaches and pools. We plunge into the forgotten history of the ‘swimming suffragettes.’ (54”) http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/latenightlive/past-programs/?page=2 (scroll to July 5, 2018) __ __ A monthly (well, mostly monthly) compendium of these newsletters, plus on occasion additional pertinent material, is now published in The CIDX Messenger, the monthly e-newsletter of the Canadian International DX Club (CIDX).
