Again, I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying 'The Call of Africa' - I feel I am there with you on your adventure - I feel the heat and the noise and colour. Waiting with baited breath for the next episode. Reviewer: iDandrea - - July 27, 2009 Subject: Rare treat Something everyone should hear before venturing into Alaska. I've heard many tales in the past but this author, Basil Sands, has personally lived there. He colorfully shares his perspective mixing in humor with the details. Sands is a skilled writer and orator who, being aware of his audience, draws in the listener. Due to some of the content I would rate it PG. Why not listen to Basil Sands "Our man in Alaska." Dear Nigel, I recently discovered peopletalk's wonderful high quality audio productions and have listened to a number of your short stories and interviews. Thank you to you and your team of fine actors and actresses for giving the listener such good quality recordings. I'm a South African English teacher in Italy and have recommended your site to all my upper level students. After listening to the moon man interview. I look forward to listening to many more wonderful stories on Peopletalk. Margaret Brizzolari I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The reader was excellent.

Sun, 18 October 2009  Heather Taylor is a Canadian writer and actress who left the un-congested lands of Canada's endless open prairies; where Albertans talk slower and enjoy more space: and travelled halfway around the world, choosing to live in one of the most crowded places on the planet, England. In these six episodes Heather highlights the strange and sometimes unexpected experiences of her new home while interacting with the local inhabitants; their strange customs and exotic architecture make Heather feel that she has stepped into a different world. She gives us, the listener an insight into her thoughts from the New World to her experiences of living in the old world of Shakespeare surrounded by millions of people.

Sun, 18 October 2009  The call of Africa Episode One: Africa is calling Episode Two: Gateway to Africa Episode Three: First impressions Episode Four: Voyage to The North Episode Five: To Walk With The Elephants Coming soon...... Episode Six: Making a Difference Narrated and written by Sal Bolton Directed and produced by Nigel Killick ‘You can do it for 3 months or longer, West Africa, country called Ghana – you could teach the kids how to play tennis there’…. Akwaaba! These 6 short episodes depict memoirs from the stories of young University Graduate Sal Bolton making a soul searching decision in taking the sport she loves to aid the underprivileged communties of deepest darkest Africa to the land of the Black Star, Ghana. The episodes follow Sal’s adventures from the encouraging words of a university friend to make a difference in the world after a heavy night of student partying in England….to the unpredictable Tro Tro rides of the dusty congested backstreets of Accra, an adrenaline fuelled adventure across the biggest lake in Africa and roaming the roads of the unknown to walk with the elephants, and receiving her very first marriage proposal whilst being sold a steering wheel. The series highlights the interesting and comedic customs and etiquette she encounters as an ‘Obruni’ in Africa, whilst interacting with the ‘happy go lucky’ local Ghanaians in their habitat and also the heartwarming inner peace she finally finds whilst offering a hand to those less fortunate. These stories are adapted from a forthcoming book, The Call of Africa which hope to inspire and open the eyes for anybody that’s ever wondered what its like to be a young white girl living and breathing this magical continent in the aim of making a difference.
