Hanging out to dry

The weekend is a foreign country. I do different things there. Re stringing a rotary clothes line for one. George Benson may believe that children are our future, but I believe even the sharpest minds of the epoch would err and stutter over the intricacies of this puzzling task. What is taut at the beginning of the exercise is flaccid again soon enough (yak yak!). It is a mystery to put even Curie or Fleming to the intellectual sword.
Moving as I do in the most sophisticated of chattering classes, the other part of the weekend was spent raising a canalside glass to a former colleague now in the pay of Avon Fire and Rescue. Now there's an organisation ripe for the podcasting. Engaging with communities and selling the prevention message :
Fire bad, diversity good.
Think of podcasting as the 21st century counterpart of smoke signals. As more of us become eco aware, hug trees and harvest our own superskunk, the message of environmental responsibility makes podcasting the new medium of choice. What better way to underscore the horrors of arson than to hear from a reformed arsonist, intercut with powerful and moving memories from those who have lived to tell the tale.
Dramatic stories recounted in the most eloquent and gritty way. All produced by Wonkana Productions. Of course.
