Le Show.

A heads up to all of those of you out there that like to listen to something that's satirical and topical.
Harry Shearer's "Le Show" has been broadcasting on public radio in America for years. Harry is probably best known to those of us in the UK for his voice work on "The Simpsons" and his semi-legendary status as member of the loudest rock group ever "Spinal Tap".

"Le Show" airs once a week (Sundays) from the studios of KCRW in Santa Monica. I've known about it for a while but only had access to it from last year when I FINALLY got broadband and could download the show every week.

It's a real treasure.

For those of you that worry that all of the U.S.A is like George Bush this is the show for you. It's a side of America that we don't hear from that often because our exposure is limited to CNN, Fox News and the like. The format is very straightforward. Harry goes through some of the major stories of the week, as well as the ones that occasionally get buried, and gives us his thoughts on them. Simple, honest, scary sometimes and very funny.

If you want to give it a try it's available on iTunes as a free podcast as well as kcrw.com and harryshearer.com.

Have a listen. Keep up the good work Harry!
