The DFBMBE Podcast and Blog - ДФБМБЕ подкаст

As I type my emails before “Turning in for the Night” I just set my recorder “On” on the window sill. A typical Pristina night sound at just after 10pm.

I recently managed to speak with Dr Sharifa Sharif who until some time ago was the the advisor to President Hamid Karzai on international affairs.

We talked about her life and her involvement in the Afghan media landscape and how and why the media situation is as it is today in Afghanistan.

One of the great things about podcasting is being able to produce content that other media platforms have long since ignored in their quest for increasing the “bottom line”.

I caught up with Kingstonian, John Sanfilippo (Johnny San) who is a local singer songwriter.

Click on the audio player below to listen to his music (he plays live during the interview!), hear why he’s passionate about writing and creating his own songs and his views on “Canadian Content” and the music industry in Canada.

Songs featured in the interview in order are:

The Beat Beethoven Run has been an exciting event for the Kingston community for the past fourteen years. Every year, community members participate in an 8km run or 4km walk from City Hall with the goal of returning before The Kingston Symphony has completed Beethoven’s 50-minute 3rd Symphony. The event is a fundraiser for the town’s wonderful symphony orchestra. I caught up with Glen Fast, the Musical Director and the Orchestra’s conductor to find out more….

A little over 2 years ago I spoke to the Afghan Ambassador to Canada, HE Omar Samad to ask how he reacted to peoples concerns about the situation as it was then.

The podcast is worth listening to again.

What has to happen to make the changes required to get Afghanistan and more importantly its people to live normally, in an environment THEY are happy with?

This an hour of the Breakfast Show that I presented on BFBS Falkland Islands back in 1993. This particular show was an OB (Outside Broadcast) from the “Upland Goose” Hotel in Stanley, quite a distance from the main studios at Mount Pleasant Airfield.
My co-presenter Zoe Cohen was actually miles away in the studio playing in all the music elements, whilst pretending to be upstairs in one of the hotel bedrooms.

Not sure if we bluffed the audience on that one but its a bit of pure nostalgia.

I hope you enjoy it!
