We've got a great podcast for you today, folks. We hear about a new website called watchingamerica.com, where you can find out what the rest of the world is saying about the United States. And, are Chinese and other foreign nationals working in the US science and high-tech industries spying for their home countries? Good question; we'll try to answer that. And finally, some podsafe music from a Scottish band called Amplifico, who are using blogging and podcasting to bypass the record industry and reach fans across the globe.

Worms, trojans, bugs, viruses, spam, spyware, rootkits. Malware - is it taking over our computers, and what can we do to stop it? We'll look into the on-line problems we battled in 2005, and we'll also ask whether it might be time to scrap the internet as we know it, and start again. All that, plus some more podsafe music from Scotland's Amplifico, and some big award news from Boston.

Should old acquaintance be forgot, and all that. We see out 2005 with a podcast that features Europe's first steps toward creating a satellite navigation system set to rival that old stand-by GPS. Also, a new theory on how bird flu spreads. And, as New Year's Eve approaches, we hear about a new law in Sweden designed to tackle what many consider a public health menace, binge drinking. All that, plus a ludicrously cheesy version of Rabbie Burns classic tune Auld Lang Syne. Here's wishing all of you a happy, healthy, and pod safe 2006.
