Criminal gangs behind a rise in
bombings and shootings in
Sweden in recent years are
using
fake Spotify streams to launder
money. That's the unusual claim
from Swedish newspaper Svenskar

sters.

And in podcast news, we all
need a bit of useless
information in our lives. For
example,
in 1970, one American TV
channel voted to not allow
Sesame Street to be shown, and
it
was banned, officially
postponed for three weeks. Or
in 1935, one New York cab
company
wired up the horns of their
cast to go on permanently as
soon as they went over 35 miles
an hour. If you find that sort
of thing interesting, useless
information is for you. It's
part
of the Airwave Podcast Network,
and we thank them for their
support this month.
And alone, A Love Story is now
available in two other
languages, thanks to work by A
Cast, CBC Radio Canada, and

Story is an award-winning
memoir by Michelle Parise,
who wrote, performed, and
produced the series.
