I listen to the BBC Global News Podcast in the car while I’m schlepping various things around Los Angeles, because it’s an easy way for me to maintain my goal of being reasonably informed about the rest of the world.
It’s normally fairly straightforward and British and reserved, but with one rather odd story to finish up the podcast.

I have to admit, when the BBC announcer, in his velvety, dignified British tones, said “An Australian politician is caught eating his own earwax” at the top of the podcast, I burst out laughing.
