Spectrum on Air

 I'm very excited about what is going to happen in the next few hours....

At midnight (UK time), a new online radio station will start broadcasting - and my first broadcast will be at noon - just 12 hours later. The programme will be called "PPS" - and it will deal with the process and the people who make decisions and laws which affect all of us. 

But it won't be anything like your usual "politics" or "current affairs" affairs 

- so I won't be gossiping about Dom & Boris, 

(or Biden, Pelosi, AOC, Drakeford, Macron, Merkel, Xi Jinping, Putin - YES I WILL COVER THE WORLD!) 

or attacking (or defending) policies - just giving you the information about who is making and how they are making decisions and law which can impact upon your life.

The final letter of the programme's name is "Sources" - I won't be reading long reports on air (how boring!) or giving lectures on process and procedure - but I will be highlighting and giving links key information.

....oh, and playing lots of music between pieces.

Do give the station, and myself a listen.

Spectrum On Air can be accessed - from anywhere in the world (as long as there is access to the internet) at -

Nomination of Speaker

Yesterday was the first meeting of the new, 115th, Congress. One of the first matters dealt with in the House of Representatives was the election of the Speaker. The clip below shows the nominations of Republican, Paul Ryan and the Democrat, Nancy Pelosi.



Paul Ryan won by 239 to 189.

Must Watch TV

Congress YouTube has been launched - the welcome video can be viewed below.



You may also enjoy the video put out by Speaker Pelosi to promote the new channel. It has already hit the news. Watch it all - and see why some have commented upon it as a clever way of getting into the news.
