[Swprograms] Podding Along - Issue 180

["John A. 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.  I do it while âpower walkingâ (most) every other day (when itâs not cold and wet or I havenât succumbed to laziness).  The âartâ of putting one foot in front of the other can be pretty monotonous and by âpodding alongâ while plodding along the mind also gets something useful to do. 

Some of the best radio comes from the public networks of the UK, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.S.  Apart from the originating programâs web site, most programs are made available through any number of other amalgamation sources such as iTunes and TuneIn. 

Admittedly, these are thoroughly subjective recommendations, but my interests and tolerance for incompatible views are pretty wide-ranging. Hereâs another in a continuing series of small samplings, offered in a 90 minute scope (more of less):

âBruce Shapiro and the State of the Nation, Mexicoâs New Revolution, How Forensics Solved the Bali Bombingâ
LATE NIGHT LIVE - ABC RN
In Trumplandia this week, a new Supreme Court appointment looms - and chaos over immigration continues.  Mexico's new president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has promised change as profound as the Mexican Revolution. But can AMLO live up to expectations?  Forensic evidence has become a vital part of modern crime-solving, Asia is no exception.  (54â)

âTrump Scolds NATO, Germany's migration dilemma, The Swimming Suffragettesâ
LATE NIGHT LIVE - ABC RN
The USA is on conflict with Europe on NATO and trade.  After a tense stand-off, two of the major parties in Germany's governing coalition appear to have reached an agreement on migration. But does the deal simply postpone a crisis? While Emmeline Pankhurst campaigned for equality at the polls, another band of heroic women fought for equal swimming rights at Britainâs beaches and pools. We plunge into the forgotten history of the âswimming suffragettes.â (54â)
