Hi all,

One of my favourite radio segments here in Australia is the Morning Interview with Margaret Throsby, which is aired weekdays from 10 am to 11 am (Eastern Standard Time, Australia). There is streaming audio available while the show is on air or you can listen online after the broadcast, or download the programme and listen at your leisure. The shows are only available for a couple of weeks after they are broadcast.

This Monday there will be a physiotherapist, who is a former musician, and who specialises in injuries which musicians tend to get. I cannot remember the man's name, but the programme should be available within a couple of days after the broadcast:

Listen to the broadcast here

I can highly recommend listening to the show, any time, because Margaret is one of the best interviewers I have heard and is a wiz at drawing out people's life stories within an hour. Also, all of her guests choose a few pieces of music, and explain why each piece is important to them just before it is played.

In the last 2 weeks I have listened to these:
