[Swprograms] Podding Along - Issue 485

[John A. Figliozzi <jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After a rather long hiatus, we’re back.  (I think.)  I’m certainly going to give it a more concerted effort.

Podcasts permit a shift of listening time from a set appointment to virtually any convenient occasion.  While there are thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of great podcasts from other sources, the ones sponsored via public radio have been vetted through the worthy objectives of the medium.  Besides, in my opinion, most of the best radio programs produced anywhere come from public — as opposed to commercial — radio.  (That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it!)

Here’s what I’ve been listening to recently.  I hope you might find these suggestions helpful in enhancing your own enjoyment of radio, our favorite medium.

“The Day Britain’s Empire was on the Brink”
LATE NIGHT LIVE - ABC RN (Radio National)
On September 29 1923, the British Empire reached its geographical zenith, covering a quarter of the world and nearly 500 million people.  But in spite of Britain’s triumphalism, Matthew Parker discovers a ruling power be-set by debt and doubt, and on the ground, the sounds of shackles being shrugged off.  Guest:  Matthew Parker, author of ‘One Fine Day – 29 September 1923 – Britain’s Empire on the Brink’, published by Abacus Books. (53”)
