Audio Dispatches: Panthers, Sandinistas, and Colombian Ballads, Oh My!

Don’t want to fall out of favor with the NPR folks. It’s been a while since I posted some of these, so let’s start out with my piece that aired on BBC’s The World earlier this week. You’ll remember the interview with Michael Franti that I posted here all last week. Well, this is what became of it:

Also, listening to PubRadio sometimes offers the most serious inspiration to hit the road and get out in the world. Something about just hearing what a place sounds like, jus makes it all the more intriguing, whereas TV can never do a place justice. These are the sounds and places that caught my ear in the last week:
