JIM SHOCKEY - Thinking Hunter on The Radio:

Oh WOW .. what an amazing Sunday morning Radio NZ listening that was down here a few weeks back.  - To be entirely accurate - I listen online via my "Amazon Echo" Artificial Intelligence device (which is an incredibly stupid & sometimes very annoying wi-fi device). But I can explore the world's broadcasting networks while continuing the necessary local functions such as cooking and the essential once a year .. vacuuming of the cat's fur from the carpets 😄.

- First, Professor Brian Cox explaining our place in the galaxy & universe and the likelihood of LIFE out there .. followed then by a thoughtful interview with north-american JIM SHOCKEY who is a big figure in the world of hunting .. talking about why we hunters hunt - the very different perspectives of real folk living with wild nature .. and the artificial moralities of city inmates who daily consume millions of processed chemically produced animal corpses.

 (Have you tasted chicken lately? .. I bet you haven't as it is now FLAVORLESS apart from a faint chlorine aroma) - Approaching 1.5 BILLION six week old 'broilers" are raised for slaughter every year .. I may have to get & keep some hens again for real eggs and an occasional old-fashioned tasty roast.

Professor Brian Cox.

- So much cerebral stimulation over cups of coffee has to be either very good or very bad for the space between my ears.  - Followed by hours on almost intelligent "Brexit" chatter from LBC Radio London.

.. I switched later to 'Blues & Roots Radio' for some quality folk and blues while I cleaned some toys. (No switch actually needed - just the voice command "Computer - Play Blues & Roots Radio".)

Life is good - unless you are a 6 week old meat chicken,
