Hi!
I'm getting an eye surgery with laser (LASEK) later this week and therefore need a couple of days to rest my eyes. Any good tips of podcast which I could download and listen to? I have three days where I cant do much else than callining friends and listen to radio/podcasts... 
Best Regards
Daniel Andersson |

Joe Frank
| Quote: |
Frank's radio programs are often dark and ironic, and employ a dry sense of humor and the sincere delivery of ideas or stories that are patently absurd. Subject matter often includes religion, life's meaning, death, and Frank's relationships with women.
Frank's voice is distinctive, resonant, authoritative, and - because of his occasional voice-over work - often oddly familiar. At the 2003 Third Coast Festival he explained that he was "recording in Dolby and playing back without it -- which created Joe's now familiar intimate and gritty sound".[3]
Adding to the atmosphere of Frank's monologues are edited loops of instrumental music from sources as diverse as Miles Davis, Tangerine Dream, Can, Air and Antonio Carlos Jobim[4].
The repetitive music and Frank's dry, announcer-like delivery are sometimes mixed with recorded phone calls with actor/friends such as Larry Block, Debi Mae West and Arthur Miller, broken into "acts" over the course of each hourlong program.
Frank's series The Other Side included excerpts from Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield's Dharma talks at Spirit Rock Meditation Center. In an interview on KPFA's the Morning Show, Kornfield was asked about working with Joe Frank. Kornfield explained that although he had never met or talked to Joe Frank or heard his show, he didn't mind Frank using the lectures and that many of his meditation students had found Kornfield through the show. |
You can downlaod many of them for free from the Apple iTunes store |

The Bugle.
Ricky Gervais podcasts. Old now, but you will probably loosen your retinas from laughing so hard. |
