    The Health Wyze Report

    A sadly paranoid, misleading and "victim of conspiracy" podcast that claims that corporate greed is ing us when the fact is we have never lived longer since the dawn of time. More "reds under the beds" rubbish with their own "products" to sell to the unfortunate who believe this unscientific, dis-proven and often deliberatley misleading mumbo-jumboo
  • The Electronic Sounds
    GREAT weekly podcast!

    Awesome tunes you got there! Great new ones, as well as some old :)
  • Cognitive Dissonance
    My new favourite

    I couldn't be happier now that I've found Cognitive Dissonance. With the loss of Irreligiospohy, it was almost impossible to find a skeptical/ atheist podcast that's hilarioous and informative. Keep up the laughter (even at your own jokes), its infectious! cheers from Canada

  • One Among The Sleepless
    One among the sleepless

    I too became one among the sleepless, by staying awake to take the tour. Like Alice falling down the rabbit hole, your transported into Miike Bennett's dark world your tour takes in places of interest allowing you to explore & of your own volition eaves on conversations, sneak uninvited into others homes, indulge your inner voyer & laugh up your sleeve at others misfortune, you can't sleep when all this is going on!! Fantastic.

On April 5th, 2007, The Korea Society hosted an Arts program titled "How Did Korea Become a Land of Apartments?" with Valerie Gelezeau, associate professor of Geography at Marne la Vallee University in France and author of The Republic of Apartments. Gelezeau explained how South Korea has transformed from a country of single-unit housing to one where apartment living is the dominant paradigm. Gelezeau believes that in addition to economic and demographic factors-such as a growing population and a shortage of buildable land-this change has been driven by cultural factors.
