The latest episode of Absolutely Intercultural focuses on the Arab world as perceived through European eyes and features experiences in Egypt, the Lebanon, Syria and Jordan as experienced by an American, a Latvian and three Spanish sisters. Recurring themes are about the importance, or lack of it, of time and the segragation of the sexes. The show also emphasises the benefits of learning even a little Arabic.
What is not immediately apparent is the amount of work which has gone into producing this particular show after our original blog was somehow infected by a virus which meant that we were no longer able to edit the content. With a new host with helpful staff we feel that we have are now on a surer footing. Those who were subscribing with iTunes may have missed show 54 but this show, number 55, seems to be registring with existing subscribers as normal so our fingers are crossed that there won't be any problems in that direction.
And of course all our troubles started almost to the day that our podcast was nominated for a Danish podcasting prize. Only now that things seem back to normal do I feel confident enough to ask for more nominations if you have been enjoying what you have been hearing on the podcast to date.
