Rockylou Productions will be guest hosting today’s LouDown EP:30, by giving the DS106zone participants an opportunity to listen to The Devil’s Hairground podcast referenced in past episodes of the LoDown [EP17 & EP23].

This is episode 4 of Amber’s Obruni (white person) adventures as an AFS exchange student to Takoradi, Ghana, Africa in 2000. In this first of a two part story reliving Amber’s arduous and humorous experience to an African beauty salon, you’ll meet the infamous ‘woman in blue pants’. Unfortunately, we don’t introduce the ‘antelope man’ until part 2, All’s Hair In Love And War. You can view photos and listen to the entire series of podcasts at: www.rockylouproductions.com/Obruni.html

The DS106zone is about to come to an end with Prof. Groom posting his expectations for week 5 yesterday. What a great idea to have the audio self-reflection assignment as part of the final exam. I’m looking forward to getting to know the UMW students, and hopefully a few more of the open-onliners as well.

We have only 5 more episodes to go to make it to the originally planned 35. Tomorrow [EP31] Christina Hendricks will be guest hosting from Australia, and on Thursday [EP32] CogDog himself will be joining us once again. We’re not sure what will happen on Friday [EP33]. I’d personally enjoy highlighting some of the UMW self-reflections, but I’ll need you to post them by Wed. evening in order to produce a podcast for Friday.

On Saturday, [EP34] we have a very special guest host scheduled with a live broadcast on DS106 Radio. TalkyTina will be taking on the #pretenders, and all will be revealed.
