Afghan Radio: Kylie Minogue, Women DJs, and the Arman FM Road Cruiser
Hat tip: Instapundit. Edited for brevity.
Kylie tunes are proving a huge hit with listeners of new music station Arman FM, and it seems locals in the Afghan capital just can’t get her out of their head. "We play a lot of Kylie Minogue," DJ Zaid Mohseni told the Reuters news agency. "She is very popular." The Arman FM flash intro and somewhat improbable road cruiser are worth a look. Their picture gallery tells stories which bely the anti-liberation gloomsters. Arman FM’s polling reveals three of their five most popular DJs are women. That is not just good news. That is astonishing. The Afghan word for hope is Arman and that is exactly what the station is about.
Some links and pix in the article. Worth a look!
