Steven Buckley of Christian Aid, "an agency of the churches in the UK and Ireland," emailed me to let me know that they have launched a podcast. I listened to part of a program, Haiti 6-I Say Vaudou, which was a little long, but still interesting. I had never thought about how important it would be to understand the ins and outs of vaudou (voodoo) in order to do HIV prevention work in Haiti. Nancy White recently posted an interesting email that Steven sent to the the KM4Dev mailing list about how Christian Aid developed their podcast, which is worth a read. According to the email, Christian Aid supporters now send emails asking if Christian Aid events will be recorded for the podcast.
