I had fun with this portion of the 8N08 exercise #6. After going through the NPR example in our packet, I decided to explore the podcasts on offer at the BBC website. I visited the Entertainment genre listings on the site and tried out one relevant podcast (The Film Programme with Francine Stock) and one I just liked the for the name (Scotland's Funny Bits- funny highlights of the week from Radio Scotland). The Film Programme talked with the Coen brothers about Burn After Reading, which has a Certificate 15 rating at the cinema by the way. Next followed a discussion of a silent film that had been restored for the London Film Festival. Made in the 1920's, but set in the futuristic 50's, High Treason seems to be about a Channel Tunnel terrorist attack carried out by a band of homosexual German spies intent on invading England. Wow.
Anyhow, I had a great time sampling the variety.
