[Swprograms] Podding Along - Issue 40

[John Figliozzi <jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Most radio listening takes place in the car or while doing other things that allow freedom for the ear, but not the eyes and hands.  Podcasts permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion.   
Apart from the originating programâs web site, most programs are made available through any number of other amalgamation sources such as iTunes and TuneIn.  Some of the best radio comes from the public networks of the UK, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S.  Hereâs a small sample:

ââ

âDien Bien Phuâ
WITNESS - BBC World Service
In 1954, French forces surrendered after a bloody 56 day siege of their base at Dien Bien Phu in the north of Vietnam. Their defeat by the communist independence movement, the Viet Minh, signaled the end of French colonial rule in Indochina. We hear from two veterans who fought on opposing sides in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu.  (9â)

âRaheel Raza"
HARDtalk - BBC World Service
In recent years there has been plenty of heated debate about the relationship between Islam and extremism. Much of the fiercest commentary has come from outside the faith, but increasingly there have been calls for change from within the Muslim community. HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur speaks to one of the most controversial voices in that internal debate. Raheel Raza is a Pakistani born Canadian human rights activist who co-founded the Muslim Reform Movement. How many Muslims are ready to talk her language? (30")

âHas Atheism Had Its Day?"
LATE NIGHT LIVE - ABC Radio National
A wide ranging debate on religiosity and spirituality today. Does the rapidly-growing âspiritual but not religiousâ movement point to a radical shift away from traditional notions of God? (54â)

[PLEASE NOTE!  Correction to Issue 39.  The interview with Beatrice Von Storch, listed as occurring in the program âWitnessâ, was actually an episode of the program âHARDtalkâ.
