Music this week by Spunkshine. Don’t forget, we’re aiming for 1,000 fans on Facebook by the end of May!

This week’s tech podcast starts by giving you a bird’s eye view on nukes. In the wake of the new treaty signed last week by President’s Obama and Medvedev, and the Nuclear Security Summit now happening in Washington, we wanted to find out how you keep track of nuclear developments worldwide. Well, one way is with satellites. We have an extended interview with with Kevin Pomfret, Executive Director of the Centre for Spatial Law and Policy. Kevin talks about GeoEye satellite images of nuclear, and supposedly nuclear, sites around the world. Well worth a look.

    Where, oh where, has my favorite podcast gone? Has it been obscured by a cloud of volcanic ash?

    And, since it’s Speak Like Shakespeare day in Chicago, Wherefore art thou, Podcast? What light through yonder RSS feed breaks?

      First it was the volcano. Now it’s the settling in to a new life overseas in Brussels. It shall return in due course.
