Re: Radio

+1 to Laufer too, well said! :-)

BTW Steven, as you may already be aware of we (the VU, DANS, and others)
are also involved in similar activities. See, eg, [1] for a short video
about our work in Mali and [2,3] for more information. I would be very
interested in discussing that further with you to see where our interests
and activities overlap.

Cheers,
Christophe
