Mental Notes September 2010

MELBOURNE–Following three months of intensive analysis with Bowie I’m finally seeing a narrative in The Night Garden. Phew.

Staring at pixels and lugging B-Boy around has finally taken its toll. Back says no. Four days of bed rest, some fuzzy drugs, no tomfoolery.

MELBOURNE–Preparing many a montage, soundbite, interview with regional leader and survivors for the Sept 29 Pacific tsunami one year anniversary special. Trawling through our recordings from that day, and coverage of subsequent months, is incredibly moving.

I’ve kept the full 2-hour Pacific Beat program here on the site, beginning with the first half hour – just 70 minutes after the quake hit – and it is an incredible piece of radio.

MELBOURNE–Stuff to read when not watching cat spills on interweb http://bit.ly/ca9fzN Lowy on role of Aust international broadcasting.
