I hope you are among the fortunate who get to have the BBC World Service transmitted for part of the day through your public radio station.  I grew up with the “Beeb” and am still a passionate fan.  That having been said, the most consistently amazing radio show I listen to is This American Life.  If you don’t already know the show, I urge you to give it a try.  My favorite show, however, is Car Talk which plays in Chicago on Saturday mornings.  My friends know that this is my “holy hour” and they have been warned to contact me during the broadcast only if they are in danger of imminent demise…

As you can tell, I love radio and almost panic at the thought of being without its many comforts.  I was made aware (again) of this “inordinate attachment” to the airwaves last night as I was preparing to leave for a Jesuit webmaster’s conference in Malta (a small island in the middle of the Mediterrean.) What if there is no French or English-language radio for me to listen to as I lie awake on an uncomfortable and unfamiliar bed? Help!
