There's a radio programme on the CBC that I love called Definitely Not The Opera. While most people think of the CBC as a repository for stuffed shirt music (classical and opera, eek) and news (want a relatively non-slanted look at current affairs? Listen in.), it has it's gems like DNTO, Quirks and Quarks, and Radio Three.
I've been downloading the podcasts for Quirks and Radio Three for a while now, I've just learned that DNTO now has a podcast as well. Now this makes me very happy, because while I don't have much of a life, I do have enough of one that I have other things to do on a Saturday afternoon.
So I spent the half hour commute in this morning listening to last week's episode on geek. Geek is the new cool, doncha know? This is some funny shit. Add in a bit on Bettie Page (my role model *grin) and it's a good start to the day.
As a related sidenote, smirking and giggling to yourself on the bus (rain = no bike) is guaranteed to make sure that you have space around you even in a packed rush hour bus.
To all the neighbours to the south....have a great long weekend! Enjoy!
