World Wednesday

Above Thailand

March 17th, 2021

It’s World Wednesday, when we take a look at cool things happening around the globe! It’s also St. Patrick’s Day so I wish you good luck, stimulus checks and four-leaf clovers.

Here’s today’s worldwide round-up:

Train Travel / Travel & Leisure
RED > MED: a new high-speed rail line will make connections in Egypt.

Origins / NPR
John Travolta’s greased lightning was pretty hot but fulgurites might be hotter.

Air Travel / NASA
Turbulence may someday be a thing of the past with NASA’s infrasonic microphone.

Cruising / P&O Cruise Line
Have you heard about the cruise to nowhere? Get vaccinated, get on board and get a nice view of the coast of Britain.

World Music / KEXP Seattle
Have a listen to this studio session with Tinariwen, a band of Tuareg musicians from Mali and the Sahara Desert region.

More tomorrow,
Kelly
