Radio Blogging

As you can see from the postings on this site I have been absent for a little while. I've been up to all sorts of activities in the last month. Most importantly I have been getting stronger, continuing physiotherapy on a weekly basis. It will still take a few weeks until I'm fully fit. A few weeks ago, I came upon a radio blogging site. With my background in broadcasting, how could I resist? The site is Blogtalk Radio. I signed up for a weekly show, with the first being broadcast on Monday last (19th/03/2007). You can hear that show and future shows by looking for the Ireland Talking page. In the first programme we talked about the proposed National Park for the Mournes. It's an interesting debate, with many for the idea which will undoubtedly encourage many international visitors to this area of outstanding natural beauty. For the 50,000 odd souls who live in the area, it brings unwelcome intervention by quangos. The whole programme, 30 minutes in duration is all produced and presented from the comfort of my own front room. Isn't modern technology just wonderful? Make sure you listen, and if there's an item you would like to see covered, get in touch using the email address availible in the profile info.




Wasn't it wonderful to see Ireland succesful on the sporting fields around the world in the last few weeks. Most recently our cricketers progressing to the latter stages of the World Cup at the expense of high flyers Pakistan. Events off the field have somewhat overshadowed their achievements, but all involved must be highly commended for their remarkable efforts. And their rugby counterparts who but for a controversial try award might have won this years 6 Nations championship. It's all in all, been a good month to be an Irish supporter.
