A truly British Broadcasting Corp...

The excellent Shire Network News has just put out its latest podcast; it is, as usual, superb. The quick, misanthropic wit of Tom Paine et al, and their unflinching commitment to liberty, victory over terror, and support of the Britannic inheritance, is positively inspiring as well as being consistently - frequently painfully - hilarious. Laugh and learn and cheer up: for though things look ever so glum, these dark times are leading to a breadth and depth of engaged support for the Anglosphere increasingly unprecedented in vigour and intelligence. Their archives hold interviews with Andrew Roberts and Mark Steyn (amongst others), and we would recommend subcsribing to them (free!) on iTunes if - as we suspect - they turn out to be your kind of thing.



With contributors from London, Melbourne, Toronto, Virginia and elsewhere, this is a truly British show (in Beaverbrook's articulate generalised use of that term). The only way we would venture to improve it, would be, of course, to have it broadcast in place of that loathsome, gurgling, grot, the 'Today' show on Radio 4, or some other equally dispensable half an hour (hard to pick really...) on the BBC's many tax-funded and utterly useless stations.
