BBC Podcasts
Podcasts are a really nice way to make use of that idle time when standing in those ubiquitous queues, waiting for an appointment, when on the commute…
The BBC World Service have a really nice podcast of their documentaries covering various current affairs topics. These two I found especially interesting since they are about Kenya and give some insight into the post election violence.
This week’s Assignment reports on the post election violence in Kenya which has claimed the lives of up to 900 people. The opposition claim that the poll was rigged and the violence, which began in Western Kenya, has spread to other parts of the country. Pascale Harter travelled to the town of Eldoret in western Kenya to trace the roots of the tribal violence that has pitted neighbour against neighbour.
In this four part series, Mike Wooldridge looks at what it’s really like to have to live on one dollar a day. The first programme focuses on Kenya.
