March 7, 2008. The issue of Time Magazine dated 20 years ago today (the cover can be seen at the right) carried stories on increasing tensions in two strife-torn areas of the world: South Africa and Northern Ireland. I look at those stories, and take note of how different the situation is in both those places today. Today's episode music is from 'Voyage,' by <a href="http://www.myspace.com/vicstellar">Victor Stellar</a>.  Our theme music is composed and performed by <a href="http://www.drysmoke.com">Marc Rose</a>.

Episode #96 -- South Africa & Northern Ireland

A look at the events and culture of the (relatively) recent past -- twenty, or sometimes thirty, years ago from the day of posting.  The 1980s. The 1990s.  People.  Society.  Books, movies, television and video games.  Crime and justice.  War and disasters.  It's all here, seen through the lens of my own memory.  Learn or remember about days not so long gone, and see how what happened then affects us today -- all in less than ten minutes per episode.
