I have never seen Listening Post until right now. I like the Global Village portion. How else can we discover people opinions? You are certainly correct. This job would be a "can't lose" for Tony Blair.

Don't worry about the sound. It came through loud and clear here in New York. BTW, I discovered your blog through Dawn's blog, The Flightless Writer. Isn't it wonderful how nicely her book is doing?

Thanks, Terrie: it is a good show and I was flattered when Meenakshi on al-Jazeera asked me to appear.
   Dawn is in a good position with Ripples, too. I have seen it at the Warehouse, which means there would have been a lot of copies ordered in anticipation of strong sales. Even if they do not all sell at full price, later buyers will still help up the number of sales that Dawn notches up, which can only be a good thing for her career.
