Casting the Net Podcast

Casting the Net Podcast
Sean FitzGerald & Stephan Ridgway from the national Australian EDNA network. This podcast appears to be their annual, as they made one last year and then with a long,long break due to many tasks. Sean & Steph are promoting audio Odeo notes, and on their Blogger blog , they've included a direct button for delicious tagging. I've not yet listened to all of this podcast, but thought I like to explore & promote the easy going format using a standard blogger blog combined with Odeo audio comments.

Podcast: Absolutely Intercultural with a Nordic Voice approach

The bi-weekly Absolutely Intercultural Podcast hosted by Anne Fox has a Nordic voice approach with an opening song in Finnish, called Jakkalakkar, which loosely translates as “business Cockroaches”, available for free download at www.icelandtouristboard.com/freemusic.html
Todays’ guest interview with Icelandic Gunnhildur Oskardottir who spent three years in Scotland, may reveal more abut her Icelandic culture that about Scotland. The AI blog has comments from listeners; one about an important book, The Nurture Assumption, from Lon, more about this at home.att.net/~xchar/tna/ and from Paul we hear about the suggestion that culture may be programmed in as a template in the same way as many believe language is.
In Absolutely Theoretical, the Remagen station continues its discussion about the metaphor of culture as the software of the mind.

Absolutely Addictive: We finish with the Polar Bear podcast where you will always find out something new about Sweden in every episode. This extract comes from a special joint episode in March where Andy, the Polar Bear podcast host teamed up with Bruce of the Canadian Zedcast podcast and in which they compared notes about misconceptions about their respective countries.

Dance lesson: break dancers from Korea



KOREAN BREAKDANCERS on TIMES SQUARE on Vimeo

I found this video at Vimeo, a vlogger occasionally bumping into a street performance dance group, video taping with cell phone and posting instantly to his Vimeo blog. need to checkfor details. Have a look - they're really good!

Dance lesson: Irish line dance



Irish Dancing Girls on Vimeo

This is a small video chunk showing five young Irish ladies doing the line step dance. I found it at Vimeo where people can share their video material. Hope this works well , apparently the Vimeo people do have some temporary problem just today.

This mature Finnish couple are teaching the first steps in disco dancing. So they're not only dancing the tango up north!
I wish I could understand their language  - but all I know is counting to three; yx kax kolme.
