Yours truly on BBC World Service Radio


Thanks to
the post I wrote on the wardrobe malfunction issue, I was asked by the kind people at BBC World Service Radio to participate in a live discussion on their show 'World Have Your Say'. The topic of discussion was the reaction of the Indian media and politicians to the incidents. It was broadcast last night around 11.30 pm IST.

They sent over the link to the online audio file as it went online today. You can listen to the program here. You'll find the audio link (labelled 'Listen to the programme') on the right hand side bar. Let me know if you have any problems accessing it. You need to have either Windows Media Player or Real Player to listen in.

There are a bunch of issues discussed during the show, ranging from Kuwaiti women going to the polls, to the reaction to the news that Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra is stepping down, reaction to the news that Zacarias Moussaoui is eligable to face the death penalty and the political reaction to the wardrobe malfunctions at Lakme Fashion Week. The the style editor of the national daily Indian Express, Namrata Sharma Zakaria was also a guest on the show.

So go hear out our opinions, and share your own. Here's to the the power of blogging!

Meera,
this "world have your say" seems a good global programming idea. But a few weeks after the fact (re: the program you were on), I don't see that the audio is still available via their archive. Is it? "Listen to the program" today brings the current day's program; and delving into the archive (via the calendar) seems to bring just text segments, not audio segments. (Perhaps I've failed to discover an audio archive.) Congrats at any event.
cheers,
d.i.

Thanks David... A great global programming idea for sure. They even have a televised version of it.

I haven't been back to check but i guess they keep only the most recent audio links online.

You can download the complete audio file from: http://rapidshare.de/files/17279016/Meera.mp3.html
My bit is right at the end...
