London Calling - BBC and CBC programs of note

As many of you know, I listen to the British Broadcasting
Corporation and Canadian Broadcasting to get a broader
perspective of the relationship between American and the rest of
the world.

The BBC program, Global Business did something interesting last
week. They explained to an international audience just how much
America is intertwined with various economies. To hear that
particular program you can visit the BBC website at www.bbcnews.com

The Canadian Broadcasting Company has a very good web site
that not only informs their citizens about Canada but also keeps
an eye on that pesky neighbor to the south. It has extensive
international coverage. It is a huge site but the starting place is
http://www.cbc.ca

Your local public radio station may carry As It Happens, hosted
by Mary Lou Finley and Barbara Budd. Depending on the topic,
they are tough, funny, informed and always prepared for anything.
