Street children in Philippines and World.

The Internet is a decade old! What will the next decade bring? Robots in Japan want your job, but they’re only trying to be helpful. Warm weather in Europe hurting the ski season; a Swiss village is doing its part to combat global warming. Young women donating their eggs to older women. And sprinkled throughout the podcast, the digitally remixed music of the Beatles.

In East Africa, rats are more than a nuisance — they eat crops and food. In Northern Mozambique, young boys hunt rats, and their mothers cook them. But rats spread disease, including the bubonic plague. We listen to a community theatre group in Tanzania that is using its art to spread the message that it is not safe to eat rats – or to let them eat your food. We also learn how trainers in Tanzania are harnessing rats’ intelligence, and are teaching giant African pouch rats to find landmines.
