Radio Today Obama splash page

How cool is this? The splash page on the front page of community station Radio Today in Johannesburg, South Africa.

I don't bloody believe it.

I mean, it always made sense: Kinder Eggs were from Switzerland, right? German name, but it's chocolate, and white and reddish-orange, so it's Swiss, naturally. But no, no, no. 

The Shocking Truth.

Transom's got its groove back

So the holiday season may leave slackers like me with less radio to write about, but not so the Radio Wisemen. 

On my journey back to the responsible world, from the padded (tinselled, stuffinged) world of Home, I used-up my year's worth of CBC WireTap unofficial podcasts. I have had to feed the habit with Jonathan Goldstein's Transom manifesto, which I never knew about before. It was linked from a fan blog that frankly makes this place seem anti-Radio Lab by comparison. 

So you've read it, and found the TAL piece with ease but not the Outfront one. And you move on to the Talk. 

See that first name at the top of Talk? And see who's the current Manifesto guest? And see who's comment appears top of the list there now? And the second? And now back to Jonathan Goldstein's Talk, and see the second name? 

On it goes. The great and the good and the rest of us reading and smiling warm-and-fuzzily.

Officially.

Will keep an ear out for unofficially…

Here's hoping they  put actual pre-amps into this one… ;-)
