In the last couple weeks Radio Australia has gone from coming in like
gangbusters to barely coming at all. This morning, amid the noise, I
heard some interesting music on LNL so I broke down and went for the
podcast. It turned out to be a version of Waltzing Matilda (!) like
you've never heard before, and good too. 11:34 into
http://www.abc.net.au/rn/podcast/feeds/lnl_20051122.mp3 and I
heartily reccommend it. You'll thank me for this.

There's no accounting for taste. Are you into alternative country
or something? Came in OK on 9590 here in Seattle. At least my tape
sounds about the same as usual. (Since it comes on at 4 AM here,
my radio was a bit out of tune).

Unfortunatly, at
about 10 min into the broadcast, host Phillip Adams mentioned this
will be his last week at LNL. The combination of interesting guests,
quick wit and intellegent conversation has become as welcome as the
accompanying 7am cup of coffee. Amoung the handfull of available
downloads is a visit with Kurt Vonnegut, also well worth a listen.

Well, at the end of the Thursday show, he said that Norman Swann was
taking the chair for the next three weeks, and then the Summer/Christmas
Vacation reruns. Sounds like he's going under the knife again.
(A couple of weeks back, he said that he was "feeling a bit crook").
Nothing about a permanent departure.
