Voices From the North

I'm excited to announce that I've finally found a way to upload some of my radio programs to the net so that they are now available to everyone, as opposed to my usual geographically limited audience in New Zealand's Far North.

They're on Odeo.com. In order to ready them for inclusion on that site I've had to compress the one hour shows in an MP3 format that gets each show down to about 7mb in size (from the approximately 600mb size in the original .wav format). Unfortunately this decreases sound quality somewhat. This is a price I'm prepared to pay for now to get the interviews out there.


This interview with Elan Sun Star is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. In addition to dialogue packed with anecdotes and scientific evidence supporting the value of smiling, the hour is sprinkled with smiley songs from the likes of Tony Bennett and Red Grammar. Hear about:
• How smiling assists brain development in children
• The Duchenne Smile
• The value of smiling to astronauts and peace negotiators
• How Norman Cousins cured himself of an incurable disease
• Laughing clubs spring up in India and elsewhere
• The Inner Smile

The smile is quite simply the easiest, cheapest and perhaps most important and available means of attaining radiant health and finding peace in any situation. This is one of my favourite interviews.
