Re: [Swprograms] thank you and program catchup

["Donna Ring" <ring99@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks.

my favorite Sunday Morning creative period  on CBC  was even before Ian 
Brown,when almost all the feature articles were in dept by women who 
traveled to areas of conflict in the world and combined political commentary 
with human interest stories, such as can sometimes still happen on Radio 
netherlands documentaries.  I always thought that having As it happens 
always as a series of telephone conversations caused it to lose some depth 
and focus.

Slightly off topic, but not entirely, since heard on public radio, I heard 
an interesting interview with Scott Simon via Sirius on KQED concerning his 
new novel, based on living in Boznia for a couple of months.  Sounds 
powerful, combining collective tragedy with moments of individual humor. 
That is how ordinary people cope with chaos.
