The fifth episode of my radio programme "Breakdown" for Flipping the Pyramid will be broadcast this evening at 8pm UK time.

This evening's episode is about the post-Second World War Anglo-American foreign policy. I was hoping to do this in one episode, but looking at all the stuff I want to cover, it's going to take quite some time, so it's going to be a two-part programme.

I'll be listening

I'll listen too, when I am feeling especially sharp, otherwise some of your stuff goes right over my head.

You do have a very nice voice, though.

5 already? Yikes! I've a couple to catch up on.

Aye, i'll be catching up next week when i'm back in the land of wi fi. Good on ya wub

Thanks, everyone. And...noseymutegirl wrote: Thanks, don't worry, there's no requirement to listen if you say that!

did you create those playlists WUB?

great work, that must have taken some time (especially with youtube's awful new layout)

Maybe if I just listen to your nice voice..... something will sink in? Part of it is not knowing about UK economics and politics.... just wanted you to know I am not completely dense. ( )

BTW I do think you can tell something about a person by the sound of their voice. I read something about this long ago and I think it is true!

Thanks for the compliments, much appreciated.

Please properly address the Monarchy on a broadcast and post it right here...

That would be a special edition of “Breakdown”

I have no desire to defend the British establishment, I assure you, I don't consider Britain to be 'my country', it's just a landmass that I happen to live on.

I'd ignore .............. or R/A, to be be honest is just sounds like he wants to piss on everyone's cornflakes

cool, is there a way me and others here can get your radio progamme listened to more for a larger audience?

dawnbreak wrote: Well, the obvious thing is tell lots of people! You could put it on social media and that sort of thing. I haven't set up a Twitter or Facebook page as I'm not really interested in them, and I don't really know anything about how to attract followers. And at the end of the day the people who run the station who asked me to be involved do promotional stuff, and it's not really my thing to be on Twitter and Facebook pestering people to listen to something. I'm not one of those people out of The Apprentice who can constantly be selling myself all the time. But if you have Twitter and Facebook and want to put something on, that would be really helpful.

One thing I am going to try in the next few weeks is to get an interviewee to come on. I've got a few people in mind, how successful I'll be, I don't know, but that might help if I am.

I have a twitter and a facebook (under dawnbreak) which i obviously not my real name
. I can spread your radio station If that's ok with you

Can I have a wee laugh......I applied to the Apprentice and got through to the stage where they wanted me to go London.

I' didn't because my my son was 15 and that would have be wrong to leave him

Sometimes I wonder though what would have happened if I'd entered the programme

That's a big achievement even to get Selected Dawn!
