Welcome to the Blog Without Borders, your key to the Here on Earth production office. Read up on programs we're planning, what we're excited about and what we're having trouble with. More importantly, this is where you can help craft a better show. Look for our questions regarding everything from the guests to the music we use. We'll look for your show ideas and suggestions. Then join us on the radio, weekdays at 3 p.m. (CST) or catch up with the podcast at www.hereonearth.org.
Jean Feraca is still feeling under the weather, unfortunately, so we've decided to air another popular show from the Here on Earth archive today.
We'll revisit Joumana Haddad, the Lebanese journalist and poet with her provocative effort fighting sexual taboos in the Arabic-speaking world. We called the show "Arab Bodies" and we talk about how you can get involved in the discussion in this video from the Here on Earth production office.
We also pick our favorite show of the week... Kind of...
You can download the "Arab Bodies" show for free from our Here on Earth archive. Oh, and as promised in the video, here's Christopher Walken with his "interpretation" of Lady Gaga's "Poker Face."
Our clever host breaks the rules this week, picking not one, but TWO favorite shows from the past five days. I guess you can do that when you're Jean Feraca. :)
Subscribe to the Here on Earth YouTube channel for your weekly dose of Jean and other behind-the-scenes goodies. Tell us about your favorite show right here at the Blog Without Borders or, better yet, call the Here on Earth Hotline, 1-877-GLOBE-07, and we'll play your comments back on the air.
Want to hear Jean's picks? Listen here (and here!)
So we're starting a new video component to the blog, Jean's Pick of the Week. Fans of Jean's personal blog already know that Jean writes about her favorite show over there, but we've decided to make this weekly event slightly more personal by letting you see our host as she reflects back on her work (and maybe forgets a name or two, as you'll soon see!) :)
If you want to receive this video blog (or "vlog" as my cyberfriends call it) automatically, consider signing up to the Here on Earth YouTube channel, as it will be posted there as well.
So, without further ado, Ms. Feraca, the stage is yours...
Want to listen back to Jean's Pick of the Week? Well, I'm glad you asked!
