A New Spin On The Oral Tradition
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2010-11-18/new-spin-oral-tradition
Voicing hundreds of characters and playing an array of instruments, master storyteller Odds Bodkin channels everything from Greek myths and African folk tales. But he aims to do more than entertain; his latest work uses the story of the Roman god Hercules to teach kids a lesson about bullying.

An absolutely enjoyable show. Will we be able to listen again online? Want to share with my family and students - How do you know it is a blessing or a curse?
Why is it so difficult to listen to shows online now? We used to be able to go to the page for that show and click on the option to listen to the show online. Now the only way I could find it was to go to iTunes, paste the link from the NPR podcast info page subscribe to the show and look for the title I wanted. I could only see about a dozen titles, what if we want to look for an earlier show?
Also, I'm using Firefox 3.6.12 & the calendar in the right-hand column doesn't work; I can see what the titles were for a particular day, but there's no navigation to that page. I had to use the title of the show in search to get a usable link. Don't know if this is just a Firefox bug.
Never mind on navigating with the calendar, I guess you have to click on the date and then click on the program for that date; otherwise you can't get to the program's link at all.
It's only the last 10 shows that the iTune store shows, so still want to know how we can listen to older shows?
For the Diane Rehm show, there's still an option of listening online and ordering a cd or transcript when you are at the page for the individual segment, so it can't be an NPR thing.
