Download or read book Radio Shangri La written by Lisa Napoli and published by Crown. This book was released on 2012-04-03 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lisa Napoli was in the grip of a crisis, dissatisfied with her life and her work as a radio journalist. When a chance encounter with a handsome stranger presented her with an opportunity to move halfway around the world, Lisa left behind cosmopolitan Los Angeles for a new adventure in the ancient Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan—said to be one of the happiest places on earth. Long isolated from industrialization and just beginning to open its doors to the modern world, Bhutan is a deeply spiritual place, devoted to environmental conservation and committed to the happiness of its people—in fact, Bhutan measures its success in Gross National Happiness rather than in GNP. In a country without a single traffic light, its citizens are believed to be among the most content in the world. To Lisa, it seemed to be a place that offered the opposite of her fast-paced life in the United States, where the noisy din of sound-bite news and cell phones dominate our days, and meaningful conversation is a rare commodity; where everyone is plugged in digitally, yet rarely connects with the people around them. Thousands of miles away from everything and everyone she knows, Lisa creates a new community for herself. As she helps to start Bhutan’s first youth-oriented radio station, Kuzoo FM, she must come to terms with her conflicting feelings about the impact of the medium on a country that had been shielded from its effects. Immersing herself in Bhutan’s rapidly changing culture, Lisa realizes that her own perspective on life is changing as well—and that she is discovering the sense of purpose and joy that she has been yearning for. In this smart, heartfelt, and beautifully written book, sure to please fans of transporting travel narratives and personal memoirs alike, Lisa Napoli discovers that the world is a beautiful and complicated place—and comes to appreciate her life for the adventure it is.

Download or read book The Radio Jockey Hand Book written by Simran Kohli and published by Diamond Pocket Books (P) Ltd.. This book was released on 2005-06 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gone are the days when cabinet expansion used to get total media attention. Now cricket is hogging the limelight and team selection is the most debatable issue inside television studios before every series. Gone are the days when political king makers, who played a major role in selecting the ministers, used to grab unprecedented attention; now it's the turn of national selectors. Gone are the days when, after every general election, media-persons used to spend sleepless nights talking about the likely allocation of the portfolios. 'Which batsman is going to play at what position' seems to be their major concern now. Gone are the days when psephologists used to be media's prize catch. Now former cricketers who can become good in-house guests are in demand. Gone are the days when people used to wait for general elections with bated breath. The World Cup is the most awaited event now. Prime Minister of the country is still a powerful man, but the captain of Indian cricket team can give him a run for his money as far as popularity and media attention is concerned. Nothing reflects this better than our television screen. From dawn to dusk, from womb to tomb cricket follows us. Some of my friends say that it's a metro trend, but I can say that it's catching up in far and remote areas of the country as well. Often people complain about why we have extreme reaction on Team India's performance. Swami Vivekananda, who taught his disciples to worship God like heroes, used to say: 'There must be no fear, no begging, but demanding-demanding the highest. The true devotees are as hard, as adamant and as fearless as lion'. In our generation, politicians failed us as they became synonymous with corruption. Bureaucrats failed us as they stood for delaying rather than getting the work done. Film stars gave us momentary feel of bravado, but then they were reel and not real-life heroes. In our search for heroes, we zeroed in on the cricketers. And this is the reason as to why we react extremely to team India's performance. Cricket is more than just a game, it's a matter of emotion for us. Cricketers are more than just players; they are heroes for us. We react extremely as we love them and are emotionally attached to them. If there is one place on earth where all dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest, when men began the dream of existence, it's India. In its infancy, cricket was very much an English sport but today it is the voice of India. The game has become so ingrained in our society that it's often said - 'If you want to know India, understand cricket'. To bring about social equality in our representative institutions and policy-making bodies, our political masters followed the policy of positive discrimination. On the contrary, the game of cricket has broken regional and other traditional barriers in the talent-based environment. From the game which was confined to Rajas and Maharajas, today it has percolated deep down to the grass-root level. Team India's dressing room is truly reflective of this transformation; it is equally, if not more, representative than the Indian parliament. Most of the members of the Indian dressing room come from non-cricketing backgrounds. The most charismatic batsman of present generation is the son of a teacher; his opening partner's father used to sell farm seeds (wheat and rice). The next all-rounder hope of the country is the son of a muezzim and the Adam Gilchrist prototype of team India is the son of a government employee who retired as a pump operator. Most of the members of the present- day Indian dressing room come from non-cricketing environs. If Munaf Patel is from a village called Ikhar in Gujarat, Kerala-born pacer Sreesanth is from Kochi. Most of the members of the present Indian dressing room had nothing in the name of sports facilities. And, yet, they managed to find a way

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeremy Maggs has been a journalist and a television and radio presenter for over 30 years, with a front-row seat to major news events in the run-up to and during the birth of South Africa’s democracy and beyond. He was also the host of the hugely successful television show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, and so became a household name. He has worked with some of the country’s most respected journalists, interviewed many famous people from around the world, and been at the forefront of developments as the craft morphed into a social media hydra.

Written in an engaging and self-deprecating style, this book is an unexpectedly funny and candid, behind-the-scenes account of what was unfolding in those newsrooms as the stories broke, peppered with anecdotes around those involved in making those stories happen.

Download or read book And Now on Radio 4 written by Simon Elmes and published by Random House. This book was released on 2009-11-10 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: And Now on Radio 4 offers an enthusiast's guide to the shows that have made Radio 4 what it is, and also explores some of the wonderful corners of the network's history that are long forgotten by all but a few. Who, for instance, now recalls Ronnie Barker's starring role on Radio 4 in a sophisticated cabaret-cum-sketch-show called Lines from My Grandfather's Forehead? What about Spike Milligan's intimate, soul-bearing account of his upbringing in colonial India, Plain Tales from the Raj? And who now remembers that Start the Week was once hosted by Russell Harty, a bit of programming compared by one insider to letting Graham Norton run Newsnight. In order to reflect the way devotees listen to Radio 4, the book is organised not on simple chronological lines but in the form of a typical day. Chapter by chapter, the day evolves, from Farming Today, through the daily feast that is Today, through the morning menu of conversation, Woman's Hour, documentary and comedy. Lunchtime brings The World at One. The early evening, of course, yields The Archers. And finally there's Book at Bedtime and Sailing By. An addictive mix of history, biography, anecdote and occasional useless fact, this is the perfect book for Radio 4 aficionados.
