I thoroughly enjoy each "episode" of the podcast. You seem to find items that interest me every week! I appreciate the professional production quality of each show, too. I listen to a number of podcasts for their content, but often the amateur level of production leave me cringing. What is the theme music you play? It always gets me in a happy mood! Cheers!

Imagine that he had internet at his disposal! English looks like an unstable operating system that requires updating just at the moment you don't have time. It's a pita (just an example of a word foreigners will have to look up). Is it possible for you to write something positive about Esperanto, a language that survived its creator?

Take a look at http://www.esperanto.net Esperanto works! I’ve used it in speech and writing - and sung in it - in a dozen countries over recent years. What do you think?
