I did not know about it until I was told they were interested to feature me on the programme. However, I&#8217;ve since listened to several episodes of it and find it rather brilliant. It is a great source for anyone interested to discover new music. I highly reccomend it.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, although I am not certain how they found me, I am really excited to be on it. My interview segment is about 10 minutes long and they played parts of 4 songs taken from &#8216;Television&#8217;. I was featured along with musicians from Algeria and Turkey.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/worldservice\/programmes\/the_beat.shtml\" target=_blank\">CLICK HERE TO LISTEN.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>I was also featured on a radio programme called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/globalvillage\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8216;Global Village&#8217;<\/a> on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation a couple of months back. As they do not keep archives of past programmes, I am in the process of getting a recording of it so that I might upload it for streaming here. Please keep your ears peeled.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: The current episode of &#8216;The Beat&#8217; will be taken off BBC&#8217;s website in a few days &#8211; so go listen to it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/worldservice\/programmes\/the_beat.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">NOW<\/a>! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jonathan Kent of the BBC World Service interviewed me just before I left for Pusan and Tokyo a couple of months ago.
