What did I hear?
 

11835 at 0130 UTC

I was listening to BBC World Service and listened to about a half hour of
comedy. It was about human's perspective about animals. It included bits
of many different comedian's acts. Very funny but I could not find the
show title in Passport. Anyone know?

1:30 UTC on Tuesday (that's Monday evening for North America) is their
Light Entertainment slot.

Go to http://www.bbcworldservice.com , and at the bottom there's
a box to type in your city and hit the go button. Then you can
pick what program track you want. (For a US city, the XM satellite
schedule is also the Caribbean track that's on shortwave in the
evening). Then you can select a schedule by day or by week.

Digging out the Manila schedule I printed out yesterday, (You
don't have to use YOUR city, Manila is the city I use to get the
East Asian track that's the morning and late night signals here
on the west coast), the program is one of the "Fanshawe Gets to
the Bottom Of ..." series.

The BBC on 15565 was coming in good at 5:00 UTC last night. Much
better than 15360. Anyone know where that's coming from, off the
top of their head? (Haven't had time to research it yet).

Yeah, I heard that too. It was this:

Light Entertainment: Fanshawe Gets To The Bottom Of...
Broadcaster Simon Fanshawe brings a cornucopia of comedy, quotations,
literature and laughter to BBC World Service. Assisted by Bill Wallis.
This week he gets to the bottom of...The Animal Kingdom

Great show.
