I have a girlfriend, Jennie, who is spending the summer in England. She is a professor at Colby College, and when school let out last May she packed up her family and flew to England. They are renting a house in Manchester, and have rented a car for the summer. They are having a great time sightseeing and socializing with their neighbors. She has asked me to help her out while they are gone by watering their houseplants, tending their gardens and pet sitting. In order to do the pets itting, I decided to bring the pets to our place; I don’t want to be running over to her house four times a day to walk the dog, and I don’t want the pets to get lonely; that’s a long time to be alone in a house!
I was reading an email that she sent me this morning. She was asking me about her pets (they’re fine.) Her email was telling me how excited she is to have found a radio station called Xfm that does podcasts. Xfm is a station that broadcasts alternative rock/indie in the United Kingdom. They recently expanded their business onto the Internet and their website features a link to where the consumer can buy gig tickets, hear podcasts, read music news, and listen to the online radio broadcast.
