Bonas aŭdi pozitivan recenon de esperanto en la gazetaro, eĉ pli bona estas la fakto ke ili plu defendas ĝin de kritiko.

It is good to hear a positive review of Esperanto in the media, even better is the fact that they defend it from criticism.

Great stuff. You might get a few enquirers at your national congress out of that. I would keep a small supply of introductory booklets ready to hand to them, something like the EAB's Mini-course booklet.

Unlikely to attract much in the way of passersby, since our congress is at a hotel in the suburbs. But I'll see what might be possible, as far as printing out a small brochure to have ready.

US Public Radio tends to use a lot of folksy country-type music as interludes between programs.

Not sure why.

It always seemed kind of incongruous for a kind of program like "Car Talk". Two guys with strong Boston accents, talking about cars, and the theme music and interlude music sounds like you're at a hoe-down.

I reckon they need more of it - while we're at it, let's get out the celtic music and 70's rock as well. None of this RnB rubbish okulumo.gif (no offence to RnB lovers!)

I really like NPR's musical choices. I was very surprised and pleased to hear Black Sabbath being played after the death of DIO.
