Miguel, Gloria et Rachel ont bien connu les déboires de l’administration française. Obtenir ses papiers, qu’on vienne du Mexique ou du Cameroun, amène à devoir vivre l’expérience de la préfecture - pour ne pas dire le cauchemar de la préfecture. Visa temporaire, permis de travail à renouveler, récépissé, file d’attente, confrontation avec les agents, incohérences bureaucratiques… Ils ont fini par renoncer. Mais est-ce mieux au Canada et particulièrement à Vancouver ou Winnipeg ? Il faut y aller pour le savoir.

La route de l'Eldorado
Ils et elles ont quitté leur pays pour la France avant de choisir de s’installer au Canada. Ils et elles nous racontent la France, son accueil, ses opportunités, mais aussi ses blocages. Après leur expérience française ils ont finalement atterri à Montréal, Ottawa ou Vancouver, où Halima Elkhatabi les a rencontrés. Après la Route du Bled, Halima Elkhatabi tisse avec finesse onze récits qui racontent un double exil avec émotion et lucidité. Une coproduction ARTE Radio - Radio Canada qui permet de passionnants regards croisés sur la France et la Canada.

With the Zhengde Emperor dead without an heir, the succession is in question and rebellion brewing. Fortunately, Grand Secretary Yang Tinghe has planned for this and calls in his backup - the 13-year-old Prince of Xing, Zhengde's younger cousin. He'll come to power as the Jiajing Emperor... but Secretary Yang will very quickly find out that, though young, Jiajing is a spitfire who's here to play the game, not be played.

1519-1524 CE

Special - Mid-Autumn: Fly Me to the Moon

Host Meg Wolitzer presents three works that offer unusual perspectives on clothes and fashion—selling, making, and coveting.  In Anne Enright’s “(She Owns) Everything,” read by Mary-Louise Parker, a saleswoman becomes a compulsive consumer; In “Clothes on the Ground: A Conversation with Leap,” we hear from a Cambodian garment worker, interviewed by Julia Wallace for the compendium Women in Clothes, edited by Sheila Heti, Heidi Julavits, and Leanne Shapton.  Leap is voiced by Jennifer Lim.  And shopping is an antidote to aging in Joanne Harris’s “Faith and Hope Go Shopping,” read by Lois Smith.

#242 - Strange Tales VII: The Lighter Side of the Other Side

What does it mean when a woman commits a crime and attributes her actions to PMS? How can the scientific community study severe premenstrual symptoms without perpetuating the utterly unscientific idea that menstruating women aren’t mentally competent or liable for crimes they commit?

Ep 9: That Crime of the Month

On a Sunday morning in 1982, in Des Moines, Iowa, Johnny Gosch left his house to begin his usual paper route. A short time later, his parents were awakened by a phone call–it was a neighbor—their paper hadn't come. His would be the first face of a missing child ever printed on a milk carton. This story comes to us from reporter Annie Brown and our friends at 99% Invisible. We're on the road reporting new stories this week, and will be back on June 2nd with a brand new Criminal episode.

Episode 67: Milk Carton Kids

At times I get restless , and need to move along
I can't stay in one place, it just feels so wrong
I travel alone, there's so much to see
walking the highways, this guitar and me

Chorus
And no moon is shining, and I'm far away from home
walking in the darkness  and feeling so alone
waiting for the morning, waiting for the light
I have no destination, like a rambler in the night 

I should be going home, but I'm moving on
I will play my guitar, for the morning sun
No destination, just the country side
when I get lonely, I can  hitch a ride

 Solo

Where Have You Been?

I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING
TO GREET THE BRAND NEW DAY
IN THE EAST THE SUN IS SHINING
ALL THE CLOUDS DID STAY AWAY
A PERFECT SUNNY MORNING
TO START A PERFECT DAY
HELLO SUN,I AM ON MY WAY

I START THE DAY AS ALWAYS
I WALK DOWN TO THE SEA
THE BIRDS ARE SINGING FOR ME
HIGH UP IN THE TREES
A PERFECT SUNNY MORNING
TO START A PERFECT DAY
HELLO SUN,I AM ON MY WAY
 
Chorus
NO NEED TO STAY IN BED
WHEN THE SUN SHINES IN THE SKY
A BRAND NEW DAY IS HERE AND GREETING ME
MY SINGING VOICE IS AWFUL
BUT I DO THE BEST I CAN
I RAISE MY VOICE AND PRAISE THE SUN
