Welcome to episode 78 of Erk FM. This is a special episode of Erk FM remembering ANZAC Day that is on Sunday. ANZAC Day commemorates the day that Australia and New Zealand landed at Gallipoli in Turkey and started their joint involvement in World War I. ANZAC Day is now used to remember fallen soldiers from Australia and New Zealand in all battles across the world. Find out more about ANZAC Day here.

To celebrate this event, Erk FM will feature 5 Australian songs and 5 songs from New Zealand. Also check out the Insomnia Radio: New Zealand (hi, Laurie!), Indie World FM (hi again, Laurie!) and the Sitting Duck Podcast (hi, Allister!) music podcasts if you want a little more Kiwi music and accents! (Erk must admit, the Kiwi accent is rather choice!)

All music is courtesy of AirPlay Direct. None of these artists have been played on Erk FM before and there is a variety of genres.

Welcome to episode 256 of Erk Pod.  Once again, Erk is trying something different. Instead of reading the whole story for you like in the past, Erk is going to summarize the story for you and give an opinion and move on to the next one. If you want to read the whole story for yourself, click on the links. The stories linked to possibly have related and follow up stories linked up. Feel free to share your opinions on these stories via leaving feedback on the show notes, email me (erkpod@gmail.com) or call the voicemail numbers (numbers below).

These stories are the ones that caught my eye while online over the last week. There will be housekeeping as well at the end of the episode.
