[Swprograms] BBC has slightly enhanced their podcast offerings

["Richard Cuff" <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

A recent visit to the BBC's podcasting page
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts) yields a couple new entries of
interest to fans of international broadcasting. Crossing Continents --
a regular Radio 4 documentary series that explores single issues
in-depth around the world -- is now offered as a podcast. In many
ways, Crossing Continents is similar to the World Service program
Assignment.

Meanwhile, the BBC has started podcasting a daily updating sampling of
various items taken from domestic and global news programs --
including the World Service, Five Live, and Radio 4. This podcast,
entitled Newspod (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/newspod/), looks
to run 30-40 minutes each day. I find it a bit better than Newshour
because there is less emphasis on instant analysis -- instead, there's
a mix of current news as well as more in-depth analysis.
