Shire Network News: Happy Birthday Israel

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

Shire Network News has just released our show for this week. The interview is with Prof Barry Rubin, Director, Global Research in International Affairs (GLORIA) Center and Editor, Middle East Review of International Affairs (MERIA) Journal. This is the second part of his interview.

Both last week and this we make extensive reference to Israel’s 60th and this week’s show includes what I believe to be one of the finest recordings of Hatikva performed by the Israeli Philharmonic. You can find the full recording on an exceptional boxed set here.

This week’s show can be found here:

Mark Steyn speaks on Shire Network News

Podcast asks if Liberals are Fascist? - Shire Network News

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

I’m a little late posting the plug for the latest Shire Network News. It was a long show but might provide a little humorous diversion from the nonsense that is the Winograd Report. And how on earth did they manage to release it on a day of snow in Jerusalem?

Podcasts asks if Liberals are Fascist?

Jonah Goldberg is the guest on Shire Network News this week. His new book, Liberal Fascism, is causing a bit of a stir among liberals who don’t understand. Just don’t understand is how that sentence was meant to end. There is a whole blog about the books reception set up at the National Review.

You can buy his book from Amazon.com via the following link: Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning.

This week’s guest writer on Blog News is Right Wing Duck. You can sometimes find him on IMAO. Let us know what you think.

Also this week we once again hear from Evan Sayet who’s got Bill and Hilary in his sights again.

Meryl Yourish is giving her liberal perspective on Fascism.

Doug Payton is considering what sort of culture bans ever reference to pigs. And Cowboy builders. You can find background here.

This week’s Winston Churchill quote is from The Gathering Storm:

Fascism was the shadow or ugly child of Communism… As Fascism sprang from Communism, so Nazism developed from Fascism. Thus were set on foot those kindred movements which were destined soon to plunge the world into even more hideous strife, which none can say has ended with their destruction.

Shire Network News - Sderot

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

We’ve just released another episode of Shire Network News. This week’s interview guest is California-based filmmaker, Chris Burgard, whose documentary about the situation on the US-Mexico border is winning awards and pissing off all the right people.

We also have a very strong piece about Sderot from Meryl Yourish. You might want to listen.

Shire Network News Podcast joins the Army

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

This week my usual gig, Shire Network News, is hosted completely by Tom Paine, it’s original host. I’ve been too busy this week. I have to say that gives me the rare pleasure of listening to the show just for fun and I can safely say (because I’m not on it) that it sounds great this week.

If you’ve never listened, give it a go, you might find some of the things we talk about coincide with your interests as a reader of Israellycool.

Podcast joins the Army

Shire Network News, the Anglosphere’s premier anti-Jihadi podcast is back, and this week we take a uniquely personal look at how one person has decided to take action.

Reut Cohen, a previous guest on SNN, has decided she is joining the US Army, much to the shock of some of her friends. She speaks to us about the reasons for her decision, and the reactions she’s received - not all of them positive.

We’ll also hear from Meryl Yourish about a new theory of political discourse she’s come up with that seems to have something to do with Dennis Leary.

And Doug Payton shows us how to combat Global Warming by eating kangaroos. Or something. I wasn’t really paying attention, you know, being up on this roof scanning the horizon for the rescue choppers coming to carry me and the rest of the Secret Zionist Neo-Con agents of AmeriKKKan imperialist hegemony to safety in the wake of the Australian election result.

You DID remember to have Pacific Command send a carrier battle group to pick me up in case John Howard lost the election, didn’t you?

There’s also plenty of Blog News, featuring rioting Muslim extremists, Jihadi bombers, Chuck Norris guarding the US Mexican border and (shudder) Helen Thomas. Isn’t she dead yet?

Coming Soon

A brand new Israellycool podcast…stay tuned.

Shire Network News

Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007

It is very rare that I plug other sites or podcasts, so when I do, you should listen.

One of my favorite podcasts is Shire Network News. The main people behind the show - Brian of London and Tom Paine (not their real names) - have been longtime supporters of Israellycool, even in the days I had a rival podcast (which shall return one of these days). But the reason I listen is because it is highly entertaining and informative.

This week’s episode is up here. Amongst the issues covered are the recent British terror plots, the demise of Farfur, and the CNN Weather story first brought to light on this blog.

Check it out.
