Podcast Correspondent[edit]
I am Podcast Correspondent since Friday 23rd September 2005, This is my first correspondent update but I was "Trainee" Podcast Correspondent for Iain since his Podcast launched on iTunes. And suggested by listeners that I do "The Most Updates as a Correspondent". Lots of people expected me to be renewed as a Podcast Correspondent but anything can happen.
On 27 December 2005, The correspondent update happened on Iain's show & luckily I was promoted to Podcast Uber Correspondent.

Featured Article of the Day[edit]
The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, within New York City. The copper statue, an 1886 gift to the United States from the people of France, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, and its metal framework was built by Gustave Eiffel. It is a figure of Libertas, the Roman goddess of liberty, holding a torch and a tablet bearing the date of the United States Declaration of Independence. A broken chain and shackle lie at her feet as she walks forward, commemorating the national abolition of slavery following the American Civil War. After its dedication the statue became an icon of freedom and of the United States, and it was later seen as a symbol of welcome to immigrants arriving by sea. Its completion was marked by New York's first ticker-tape parade and a dedication ceremony presided over by President Grover Cleveland. (Full article...)

RaptorX's views[edit]
ITV:
I loved Thames Television & LWT but for these last few years ITV is being rubbish, Just making programmings with "Celebrity" on it, The only thing I watch on ITV is Tonight with Trevor McDonald.I say "Bring back the old ITV!".
