In the first of a new series of blog posts, I recall my early days and the circumstances that gave me a passion for radio — beginning with the pirate stations of the 1960s … On Monday the 14th of August 1967, at just after three o’clock in the afternoon, I sat alone in my [...]

Sudden Climate Shifts Predicted
Could the Earth undergo sudden, rather than gradual, climate change? A recent report in a prestigious science journal assesses the likelihood and concludes: yes, it could.

The Intention Experiment was devised by Lynne McTaggert and Dr. Gary Schwartz from the University of [...]
