Re: William "Strata" Smith live on the radio...

Folks

The Diane Rehm show is available in RealAudio format from WAMU.  For the
rest of this week today's programme should be at http://www.wamu.org/dr/
before being archived at http://www.wamu.org/dr/shows/index.html -
quality isn't brilliant, but then NPR reception is rarely crystal clear.

cheers
Stephen
