I'll Be On the BBC

Just received this e-mail:-

Dear Yisrael,

The new date for the broadcast of our programme is April 26 at 1100 on R4.

I hope that you can catch it on the web site if not on some clever relay.

Again, many thanks for adding so much interest to politics and archaeology.

Best wishes
Malcolm


He is referring to an interview I recorded about two months back. I took them to our Tel, some churches and an Arab structure.

Seems this is the programme (British spelling):-

Trench Warfare - The Politics of Archaeology

The Stones Cry Out

Malcolm Billings lifts the lid on the politics of archaeology and explores areas where archaeologists find themselves digging in dangerous ground.

Politics and archaeology are rarely more entwined than in Israel and Palestinian territories. Malcolm reports from archaeological sites in Jerusalem and Jericho, and on the impact of the new Israeli security wall that is being built across the occupied territories. He also examines archaeological evidence that conflicts with the need of various religious and political groups to prove the literal truth of the Bible.


Gee, they didn't mention Shiloh.

For those interested, seems a live broadcast can be heard at this site as in the upper right-hand corner there's a "Listen Live" button.
