Here is podcast worthy of your listening from BBC Radio 4.

For a long time, BBC World Service and BBC Radio 4 have produced the program
"From Our Own Correspondent," a 25/30 minute magazine made up of reports from
BBC reporters around the world. The program comes out on Saturdays and for half
the year, also on Thursdays---different programs both days, every week.

The program's web site is:

And it's podcasting (free) web site is: (also you can get it via iTunes podcast, just
do an iTunes search)

Of particular interest this past week were two stories, one being that Russian
journalists, are routinely shot dead in the street and nothing happens. The other
story, from India about a 'lower caste' Indian man who strips naked and enters
India's antique sewer system to clean it with his bare hands---he says he's lucky
to have a job since he's of the lowest caste in India. (Both stories have
applicability to what we're seeing now in the US---an elite that is taking
charge of everything, including prospects for working Americans, and a government
that is more detached from Americans than ever before.).

In general, BBC Radio 4 is a great resource, and you can see what they program each
day from their web site and listen live via the 'net ...some programs are podcast also.

Good day!
