I love a good documentary, and one of the best series of the genre is
"Crossing Continents", from BBC Radio 4. It airs roughly half the
year in a series of 8 weeks on, 8 weeks off.
Searchable audio archives of prior editions had been available up
until early 2008, but a web site reorganization removed all but the
most recent edition from the on-demand archive.
This capability has now been restored, with all editions back to
November 2006 available for online listening.
"Crossing Continents" is similar to the World Service programs
"Assignment" and "Analysis", and I've heard material that first aired
on "Crossing Continents" show up later in "Analysis", but the
program's half-hour format lends itself to a decent level of detail.
Example program topics include slum clearance in Mumbai, Mexico's drug
cartels, Belarus' idealistic youth, and legalized prostitution in Las
Vegas.
