Radio Open Source is prepping a show about the 2006 World Cup, set to air on June 8, and Trinidad and Tobago’s qualification for the tournament features quite heavily in the preview notes (as does my “Germany, Here We Come!” podcast). The angle is this:
We want to know how soccer can explain each nation that loves it. We’ve taken as our guide the excellent but unfortunately titled The Thinking Fan’s Guide to the World Cup, which breaks down what the sport means, team by team. To the Brazilians and the Germans it’s a birthright; to England it’s a reliable Mets-style heartache. To Trinidad and Tobago: a miracle.What is it for you? Did you marry into a soccer nation? Were you born in one? What was your best World Cup summer?
Radio Open Source takes a unique approach to producing their shows, designing them with input from potential listeners and interviewees collected via the Radio Open Source blog. So if you have anything to say on the subject, or know somebody who’d make a good interviewee, please leave a comment on the blog, or drop Brendan Greeley a line at brendan[at]radioopensource[dot]org.
