Hi there!

 My name is Anna  and I work for R&R World, an online music community for unsigned artists, as well as artists signed to small independents. R&R World provides numerous tools and resources for our members to use, all for free. Our music community includes numerous interesting and free tools for selling and buying music, creating merchandise, organizing and promoting gigs, and interaction between artists, music lovers, and music industry pro's.

 We decided to create a weekly podcast to highlight the best and most popular music on R&R World. The podcast, known as ArenaCast, is not only about listening to music - it also provides recent news about the R&R World community and information on the bands featured in each episode. We also include tips from music industry professionals and veterans to give the listeners a unique insight into the world of the music industry.

 We would be grateful to have you review our podcast, as we are sure you will be impressed with it - Arenacast http://randrworld.com/podcast.php . The first episode aired in January of this year, and we now have more than 3000 subscribers. ArenaCast was created not only to help promote the music of our members, but to also introduce the listeners to new music of various genres from all over the world.

 We are familiar with your work and we'd really appreciate your opinion, and hopefully promotion of our podcast! Looking forward to hearing from you.

Cheers.

Anna

Hi - it's not exactly history or soccer, but we'd love to see a review of our little dog and pony show, Flash Pulp: http://skinner.fm/category/flash-pulp/

We try to pay homage to the pulp stories of the '30s and '40s, three times weekly. Even if you don't do a review, we appreciate the consideration!

The history of the American Revolution

Here is a very thorough and conscientious podcast: History of the American Revolution (feed) Here the presenter, Kurtis Ford, retells the American history in quite extensive detail and with great narrative power. In addition he brings the history alive with reflections and overt interpretations.

When you decide to pick up this podcast, be aware that the series starts with chapter 4. It is said that Kurtis Ford has removed the first three episodes because he was not satisfied with the quality. At some point the may be redone and posted again.

The audio quality is indeed of amateur quality, so to say, but the offered material ranks with the best of them.

World Cup podcasts

The football World Cup is coming to a close in South-Africa and this should give the followers of my blog hope I will be back on track with podcast reviews. Although, the Tour de France just got on its way so podcasts still have to compete for my media attention with a major sports event.

In order to remain updated on the World Cup, I have been following a handful of podcasts:

The best pick, informative and entertaining:
World Cup Daily (The Guardian) (feed)

Along I listened to:
World Cup Buzz (feed)
FIFA World Cup Today (ESPN radio) (feed)
Total football Soccer Show (feed)

Oh and by the way: my team reached the finals of the World Cup. I will be excited until the end. Sunday July 11th: Netherlands - Spain. May the best win.

Always recommended: New Books in History

The weekly interviews on New Books in History will always draw my attention and it is extremely rare I do not listen until the end. This is the most valuable history podcast and it should be able to offer something for literally everybody. In addition, for those who take a closer look, there are some grander themes that can be picked up by combining several of the issues. A lot can be learned about Jewish history, about the history of the Cold War, World War II, World War I, American History and the history of Fascism/Nazism to name some recurring themes on top of my head. (feed)

Three recent episodes I especially liked are:
Jerry Muller, “Capitalism and the Jews”
In the Jewish theme and carefully discussing the actual and alleged ties of Jews and Judaism to both Capitalism and Socialism.

Ruth Harris, “Dreyfus: Politics, Emotion, and the Scandal of the Century”
Look also at other podcast about the Dreyfuss affair and then listen how Ruth Harris adds new perspective. As Marshal Poe says in this interview: history is never definitively written.

Heather Cox Richardson, “Wounded Knee: Party Politics and the Road to an American Massacre”
The traditional last question in an NBIH interview is: what is your next project and it serves to know ahead of time what Richardson's next project will be: a history of the Republican party. Then listen to her analysis of the defeat of the Indians in the US. Party politics does not feature in the title in vain, though it took me some time to figure out its importance.

More NBIH:
The best varied history podcast,
The Caucasus,
The genocide and the trial,
Nation and Culture,
Three New Books In History.

Watch a World Cup stream with foreign IP

Besides being busy with a lot of serious stuff, I am also kept away from podcasts because of the World Cup. This is even a bit of a quest, as I love to watch football with Dutch commentary and I am stuck with Israeli TV. The Dutch national broadcaster offers live streams, but they are open to Dutch IP's only. So, I am shut out with my foreign IP. But there is a solution.

I found out that at Eurovision Sports, one can see the national broadcasts of the World Cup from some 36 European television stations - among them the Dutch. If you go to the Eurovisionsports site, you will get the game without commentary - which is also not bad, especially if internet traffic is heavy, as this stream is the most robust. In the sidebar you can click channels (1-12, 13-14 and 25-36) and choose your preferred broadcaster. Once you do, you get to enjoy the entire football broadcast from that station just as you would with a national IP on their own site.

Apart from the Dutch channels (Netherlands, Belgium), there are channels in French, German, English and many other languages.
