He tuned it to oldtime classics, to a man crooning “When I’m down and feeling sad, you always comfort...
...year ago. Since then, some 10,000 original podcasts most by amateurs talking about everything from their sex lives to their favorite Cabernetshave emerged, creating an entirely new medium.

The first day session at the Open is a fantastic place to see the amazing skill you need to play at this level, to catch youngsters on the way up-say, Roger Federer...
...clown shoes," he says. In fact, they're his farm boots, which bear the U.S. brand name of Providence. An apt choice, since Neill is the most accidental of actors. It was while directing documentaries for the New Zealand National Film Unit that he was asked by director Gillian Armstrong to audition for My Brilliant Career (perhaps she saw something of landed gent Harry Beecham in Neill, whose family founded one of the New Zealand's largest liquor importers).
