Here you can play and download all the currently available individual audio features.

Although we don't produce a regular audio publication, such as a monthly magazine, we offer a selection of current items of interest for those who prefer to listen through a variety of different items in one go, rather than selecting individual topics to listen to.

Infosound Compilation 9 (1st July 2008).
[play Infosound compilation 9]
[download Infosound compilation 9]
The duration is 14:27. Relevant until 14th July 2008.

This compilation, which is also podcast and broadcast on Internet Radio, is updated whenever we have some new features to add or older ones to remove. Items with a longer 'shelf life' may therefore appear in more than one compilation.

COMMENT
From Frank in Doagh Ballyclare, Co Antrim:
