Whilst it's always good to have the opinions of professional people it is also a good idea to have the opinions of ordinary `people. I think it's also very healthy to take current issues and events and discuss them sensibly over the airwaves. I also think it's good to have a bit of music to break up the serious material. In this podcast Neil's team has just won the FA Cup in Britain. This is of great importance to many fans.
We had a dreadful incident on the island of Tenerife where a lady was beheaded by a maniac. This has shocked a lot of people and we remembered that there used to be mental institutions where such people would have been kept in days gone by.
Manners and the behaviour of young people was another topic and we wondered whether or not children have been given too many pills and society is now paying the price. This developed into my comments about the food children eat and how behaviour is linked to E numbers.
Neil also told me that his mother was a big Frank Sinatra fan and we reminisced about how hard our mothers had to work in the old days. Neil's mum used to do her ironing whilst listening to Frank Sinatra. We discussed the effects
of a man and his music on the people who liked his work.
I don't necessarily think strong opinions are always the right opinions but I do think it is good to hear considered opinion and I like to have it given in a light-hearted context.
Why not take a few minutes and listen to our chat.....

Aspects of Self Improvement
There are many ways to improve yourself but in order for improvements to be made it will always be necessary to take stock of your current situation. For some people the concept will be a process of continually reading other people's advice then acting on what has been read. For others it will be more of a question of identifying a particular area of need.

The Power of the Podcast
When I was young I wanted nothing more than to become a radio disc jockey. I loved listening to the chat and the wit and the banter of the personality disc-jockeys who worked on the likes of Radio Caroline and Radio Luxembourg. The BBC executives knew the pirates were giving the public what it needed and what it wanted. Desperate measures were needed to get them off the airwaves so what better way than to convince the Government of the day that they should be outlawed and replaced by BBC local radio stations?

Getting Over the Flu
I'm not too sure whether this is really a Health or a Fitness article but my own recent bout of flu prompted me to write this article. I have kept myself fit all my life and the habit started in my early school days when I joined the school Cross Country team. I was never the best runner but I had to run every day to be good enough for the team. The habit stayed with me all my life and I twigged early on to the fact that running is one common denominator to most sports.
