Greetings! My friend and colleague John Figliozzi has helped motivate me to find interesting spoken word radio programming and podcasts to listen to while going about my day-to-day activities. In the spirit of his "Podding Along" initiative, I'd like to offer my own capsule reviews of interesting programming from a variety of sources and broadcasters. These will nearly always be available for download and/or podcast, and might (or might not) be available on shortwave as well.
I'll post URLs for the programming itself, as well as the RSS formatted feed that you can copy and paste into your podcast application. For this first edition, I'd like to highlight some radio hobby-related programs you probably all know about already, but are available as podcasts so you can take them anywhere. 1) The "Shortwave Archive" is not a program itself, instead it's a repository of shortwave air checks that NASWAn Thomas Witherspoon has set up, and many people contribute to. New files that are uploaded to the Archive are then made available as podcast episodes. The main web page for the archive is https://shortwavearchive.com/ . Point your podcast reader to https://shortwavearchive.com/archive?format=rss. 2) Glenn Hauser's "World Of Radio" is also available as a podcast. The home page for World Of Radio is http://worldofradio.com/ . The RSS feed for your podcast reader is http://feeds.feedburner.com/GlennHausersWorldOfRadio . 3) AWR's "Wavescan" is also available as a podcast. Home page is https://www.awr.org/program/ENGMI_WAV . RSS feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/ENGMI_WAV . 4) "The Shortwave Report" is produced by Dan Roberts and describes itself as "...A weekly 30 minute review of international news and opinion, recorded from a shortwave radio and the internet. With times, frequencies, and websites for listening at home". Mr. Roberts' website http://www.outfarpress.com/ doesn't have much about the program itself; the podcast feed is located at http://www.outfarpress.com/podcast.xml . This list came from http://player.fm which can be searched for podcasts on a variety of topics; searching can help separate the wheat from the chaff in this sprawling world. While not uniquely about shortwave, I would also recommend "Over To You" from the BBC World Service. It's their listener feedback program that looks into *why* the BBC took a particular action as well as what listeners like and dislike about the World Service. Home page is https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p002vsn8 . Podcast RSS feed is https://podcasts.files.bbci.co.uk/p002vsn8.rss . If you'd like additional information regarding how podcasts work -- and how to configure a device such as a tablet or smartphone to manage podcasts -- drop me a note. If there's enough interest, I'll put a mini-tutorial together. Here's to Good Listening!
