[Swprograms] Programmes I Like (#3)

[Peter Bowen <peter.bowen@xxxxxxxxx>]

"Dispatches"--CBC Radio One:

   They'll bring you the world....

   Unique on CBC Radio, "Dispatches" is a 30-minute programme, dealing
with international affairs, hosted by Rick MacInnes-Rae.

   As usual with a magazine-type format, there is an opening menu of
items in that particular edition. The host introduces this menu, as
well as each item. He can be ponderous, serious, ironical, biting, or
sarcastic, and thus gives the listener an insight into his thinking on
the upcoming topic (s).

   There are usually several items on different topics in each show.
Some are packaged reports, while others are interviews between the
host and outside experts. There is occasionally a full-length
documentary on only one item. Most items deal with international
political topics, but non-political spots are also included.

   Contributions come from the CBC's own correspondents, as well as
its stringers and other freelancers. Reports often come from areas of
the world not covered in more mainstream current affairs slots. Some
topics are also outside the mainstream agenda. They thus provide
glimpses of various aspects of others' lives.

   "Dispatches" is an interesting, and occasionally light-hearted,
insight into what is happening elsewhere on the globe.
