November 20 is Universal Children's Day, officially "a day of worldwide fraternity and understanding between children" and unofficially, a great day to explore global music by, for, and about children. (Nov. 20 also marks the day on which the UN adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1959, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989.) Grab your kids and youthful acquaintances, and huddle around the iPod.

The Playing For Change crowd comes to town next week (see Calendar) and we'll celebrate with music from the groundbreaking global CD as well as other world music of change. Our apologies for the lack of a podcast of last week's show -- we had insurmountable technical difficulties (which will NOT be repeated). Thanks for your understanding.
