Start the Week - Kissinger
On Start the Week Andrew Marr talks to historian Niall Ferguson about his biography of Henry Kissinger. Reviled and revered in equal measure Kissinger was the statesman at the heart of American foreign policy for decades, and Ferguson argues that far from being a Machiavellian realist he was driven by idealism. Jane Smiley's trilogy of novels chart a hundred years of American life through the lives of one family. She shows clearly how the big political and social upheavals of the time were reflected in the day-to-day. The personal and political come together in the extraordinary diaries of Ivan Maisky, the Russian ambassador to London before WWII. Gabriel Gorodetsky has compiled the diaries which document Britain's drift to war during the 1930s. Producer: Katy Hickman.
Serious Inquiries Only - AS179: Tommentary: 2nd Amendment Needs To Go; Blaming Atheism for Atheist Killers
Yeah I decided to just try to pack it all into the title…. Here’s a link to an article I discuss: http://freethoughtblogs.com/ashleymiller/2015/10/02/atheist-tribalism-poisons-everything/ Is atheism at all culpable for atheist shooters?

African Tech Roundup - Everything Is Difficult & Other Nuggets Of Wisdom From Nic Harry’s Tech4Africa Talk
Tefo Mohapi was invited to speak at Tech4Africa 2015 last week. He shared on the important work that he and his team at iAfrikan are continuing to do in spearheading the ground-breaking Report Xenophobia campaign.
While at the event, Tefo was lucky enough to sit in on a talk by Nic Haralambous, who opened his talk with this outlandish statement, "I believe everyone who starts a business is a bit broken." Nic is the founder of Nic Harry— a successful Cape Town-based “luxury men’s sock company” he built from scratch.
Nic’s thought-provoking views on the realities of startup life and what it takes to succeed as an entrepreneur sparked a great conversation that Tefo and Andile Masuku had on this week’s show.
Along with all the week's most important digital, tech and innovation news, do listen in for the low-low on all the cool stuff members of the team at the African Tech Round-up will be getting up to in the final quarter of 2015.
Here's what trending this week:
-- South African tech firm Altron spills how much they made and mostly lost on the doomed Altech Node video-on-demand device,
-- Facebook and Eutelsat set to share the entire broadband payload on Spacecom’s future AMOS-6 satellite,
-- Zimbabwean mobile network operator Econet continues a legal bid to overturn the directive by the Posts and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (Potraz) for mobile companies to lower voice tariffs, and
-- South African telecoms giant Telkom Telkom is being criticised for exposing customer personal data.
