It's a Virtual World for Mohawk Media

Chelfyn and have recently started a fortnightly slot on New Zealand's National Radio. It's the Aoteaoroan equivalent of the BBC, and has some excellent programmes and presenters. Like the intellectually intimidating Kim Hill and the chocolate voiced Jim Mora. I'd highly recommend a listen to this series of programmes called 'Are Angels OK', arising from a collaboration between eminent New Zealand writers and physicists .

I used to do net commentary back in Bristol for the BBC, and it's great to be working my grey cells again. Since I finished as Editor of KnowledgeBoard I've left my brain coast a bit. It's a chance to talk about chewy technology & futurology issues that will hopefully spark some lively watercooler debates. Our fortnightly slot is called 'Virtual World' on Afternoons with Jim Mora, touching on topics like robots for the elderly, DRM, video on demand, and nanotechnology. I even got to throw in the hive mind theory, that the internet might one day become sentient.

You can hear a clip of this week's 'Virtual World' with stand in host Paul Brennan. The link is active for the next five days, or you can catch us live on Wednesday April 12th and April 26th from around 3.00 - 3.30 p.m. Click here for a list of all Radio New Zealand Programmes.
