Now with high speed internet, I can access BBC local all day long on my
computer as I am working. I am listening to down home radio - BBC Derby - I
have to admit that it is a pleasant change from the cacaphony of violence
that we are bombarded with a few miles north of the border from Buffalo.

I am weaning myself from talk radio U.S. Style, and find work much more
satisfying sitting and listening to news where there is so little local
violence.

Can I particularly recommend BBC Radio 4 as a whole

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio4_promo.shtml

and especially Woman's Hour, all men should listen to it.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/womanshour/listenagain/

Lots of stuff about adoption, e.g.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/womanshour/2004_41_mon_01.shtml

However my own personal favorite radio show of all time, " I'm Sorry I
Haven't a Clue"

Funny thing, Doug, I was visiting my parents this weekend, and the
only news they ever watch on t.v. is the BBC world news. It was
interesting getting the BBC's take on the situation with HMCS
Chicoutimi (or Chick-o-tee-mee, as the BBC's bingo caller pronounced
it).

As for me, I've moved too far away from Buffalo--so I no longer get
U.S. style talk radio, and I miss the Stern show in the mornings. Go
figure.

Funny that you mention the BBC!
A few Weeks back we met a lovely woman from the BBC, who traveled to Boston. We
had a long discussion over lunch, which continued for some time on the edge of
the Boston Public Gardens swan boat pond.
Kate was just charming. Her last name is Adie. Does that ring a bell?

Probably our nation's most famous adoptee,

Mostly a TV war corespondent, rather than a radio journalist though,
and I would think already well known to most educated folk in the US.

Did she tell you the story of how she traced her own birth family, and
how important she thinks it is for all adoptees to be able to do so?
Did you get her opinions on state approved dumping of children? I
suspect it's something that she has encountered before in some the other
more backward and barbaric parts of the world that she has has had to
work in, were public morals lack far behind those of her own country.
When you've spent much time in such places you learn to be charming to
the natives and hide your disdain, it becomes habit.

Yes, we heard all about it. In time I'm sure you will too.
