Neat Stuff! (deleted)

Delivers a lot in a minute. Not date specific. Seems they could run anytime and be interesting to listeners, especially pet owners.

Sometimes you CAN go home.

I'm not vietnamese, not an orphan, but I reacted strongly to this search for self. We all do it. We're all looking at mirrors and at other faces, searching for signs of ourselves. It's particularly poignant when the search covers such extremes of time and distance. Well produced, a definite "good listen."

His life was saved by an accordion

Parts of this piece are a little hard to hear/understand, but worth the effort. It's an almost fairy-tale story of somehow surviving truly terrible events, losing nearly everything but improbably finding his method of deliverance – an accordion of all things – waiting for him on a stump in the forest. This will be useful the next time I think spilling my coffee or having a flat tire makes a bad day.

Nitty Gritty About Recycling Plastics. Interesting! (deleted)

If you recycle, you've wondered what happens next. Wondered about the recycling code on the bottom of plastics, and whether it all comes to anything. Does someone, somewhere, really re-use. Here's a quick overview. Worth listening.

The Right Whale's Testicles Weigh a Ton! Yes, a ton.

In just five minutes, you can be up close and very personal with the endangered Right Whale. This quick splash of a piece drops you into a Zodiac and takes you where the action is. Quick, easy, interesting and fun.

A Sad Tale Well Told

Is there anything sadder than the repeated separation of a girl and her burger bell? Well maybe, but this ongoing saga is SO well and entertainingly told. Easy to listen to. Personally involving. Thanks.

A lot of Psych in Small Package

I like this. Interesting and useful in a filler-length. As a person who works for myself and often by myself, information I can use, delivered in a format that gets me neatly from here to the library, from the library to the grocery, as I drive. Thanks.

Quick and Interesting (deleted)

Thanks so much for interesting, useful bits of science presented as bite-sized morsels. I've developed a special, working relationship with coffee over the years. Now I can enjoy actually knowing the dynamics of what I've gotten myself into.

Tough Love for Writers

I like this. No tricks, no fancy stuff. Everybody's looking for the secrets of writing. Levinson applies his considerable expertise to the ones many people overlook. The ones that are possibly most critical. Discouraging? I don't think so. Do this, you have a chance of being published. Ignore it and you got nothing. Thanks.
