[Swprograms] Podding Along - Issue 21

[John Figliozzi <jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In addition to via the websites referenced, these podcasts generally are made available through several other popular internet sources such as iTunes and TuneIn.  Late Night Live has been a staple of ABC-RN's (ABC Radio National) programming for nearly 25 years. The program's host, Phillip Adams, is a well respected Australian journalist, writer, cultural figure and political activist.  He is a consummate interviewer and his roster of guests include Australian and international persons of stature from the worlds of literature, politics, culture and science.  The program's web page includes an archive of some of the best of Late Night Live from the last quarter century and is well worth a perusal and more than several listens.

LATE NIGHT LIVE - ABC RN
Robert Fisk on Gaza and MH17; Bob Dylan Tangled Up in Blue
Veteran Middle East watcher Robert Fisk compares our reaction to two recent alarming death tolls – in Gaza where more than 1,300 people have died, and the 298 passengers who were killed on the MH17 plane crash. He explains the deep, historical background to the current conflict.  Bill Wyman's recent article for New York magazine makes out this legendary pop icon is cloaked with decades of mystery and behaviour weirdly at odds with his contemporaries. And RN blogger Mark Sutton explains the difference between being an obsessive Dylan fan but not a nutter.  (54')

LATE NIGHT LIVE - ABC RN
Should Scotland Leave the Union?; Thank You for Your Military Service
The upcoming referendum (discussion took place prior to the referendum) for Scottish independence is the most important political decision of a generation. But a pervasive feeling of complacency exists, and many Scots assume that independence is either inconceivable, or irrelevant. Former first Minister for Scotland Henry McLeish and Rory Stewart OBE, Tory MP discuss what's at stake. Rory Stewart's constituency includes Hadrian’s Wall and half of the English Scottish Border.  Two million Americans were sent to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and now between 20 to 30 per cent are grappling with psychological issues including chronic anxiety, nightmares, suicidal thoughts and traumatic brain injury. David Finkel was embedded with a group of men in Iraq, and now he tells their stories of life after war. ‘Every war has its after war; its consequences and reminders and the consequences and reminders of Iraq and Afghanistan will be some five hundred thousand mentally wounded veterans, a number significant enough to affect American social policy, medical care, even the broader economy, for decades,' writes Finkel.
