Re: [Swprograms] Podding Along

I’m registered now and glad for Zoom. I’ve attended numerous book conventions via zoom this year, so no problem. Even ones in the UK and New Zealand I probably couldn’t have afforded to attend in person, so PA will be easy. Hope you can have quality time with family and stay safe.

Hi Donna -

We are having a virtual SWL fest in 2021. Details are at the fest website, swlfest.com.

We will be using the zoom platform and the first will be entirely online. Registration is also exclusively online through PayPal, again with details at the fest website. Cost is five dollars to cover the cost of the zoom professional grade hosting package we will need. The zoom software is available for all major computing platforms as well as tablets and smart phones.

It’s a lot easier to manage reservations when they come in electronically, that’s why we decided to do it this way for 2021.

Sessions will be Friday afternoon and evening, and Saturday afternoon and evening on the 26th and 27th of February.

Presuming the COVID-19 issues are resolved by then, we will return to a normal, in person fest for 2022.

Richard Cuff

Happy New Year!

Podcasts permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion. I do it while “power walking” (most) every morning when weather permits. Hence…Podding Along!

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 program’s web site, most programs are made available through any number of other sources.

This continuing series of small samplings in more or less 90 minute helpings are curated by me. I attest to the fact that I have listened to every podcast listed here. So admittedly these are thoroughly subjective recommendations. But my interests and tolerance for incompatible topics and views are pretty wide-ranging, even if I do say so myself.

"Jeffrey Toobin On 'Tough As Nails' Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg; Neurologist Oliver Sacks On The Hallucination That Saved His Life"
FRESH AIR - NPR/WHYY Philadelphia
Toobin spoke to Fresh Air in 2013 about his New Yorker profile of Ginsburg, written as she marked her 20th anniversary on the Supreme Court. Ginsburg died Sept. 18 at the age of 87. And a new documentary, 'Oliver Sacks: His Own Life', chronicles the late neurologist's efforts to understand perception, memory and consciousness. Sacks spoke to Fresh Air in 2012.

“'White House, Inc.' Author: Trump's Businesses Offer 'A Million Potential Conflicts'”
FRESH AIR - NPR/WHYY Philadelphia
Forbes journalist Dan Alexander writes about the president's potential conflicts of interest in White House, Inc. "You can't have a blind trust and have a building that says 'Trump Tower' on the outside of [it]," Alexander says. "How blind is that?” And Country Singer Mickey Guyton Opens Up About Race And Gender In 'Black Like Me’. Guyton's hit song, off her EP Bridges, is about feeling like a stranger in one's own land. The issues Guyton raises pose new challenges — not just to country music, but to our country itself.
