Andy Kershaw is quite a good presenter, really. There was a
documentary on BBC2 over here a couple of months back with Andy and
Billy Bragg (wierd mix - I know!) travelling through South America,
which was actually very entertaining - I watched it by mistake.
He's currently doing a series called 'As It Happens', which is a show
where the main point is that it's live from wierd places, like
Yugoslavia or a little town in Texas... the show carries itself on very
informal chats with people... actually it sounds bloody awful,
why do I watch it???

I dunno, that was before my time (!) Hah! Young and innocent, that's me.
