Feature: Wake Up To The System, part 2/4
In recent years, writer Andrew Macpherson has been researching the subject of money. This week’s episode, titled 'Know The System For What It Is', touches on how global banking doesn't seem concerned with the welfare of people, only with their power and profit. Does quantitative easing dilute and devalue the value of money that already exists? Perhaps.

Feature: Wake Up To The System
Most people are good and so most people assume the people in power are good. But, sometimes, they're controlled by money and by greed, by banks and political donations. Awareness starts with knowing what you're dealing with and so this segment asks: shouldn't politicians be dressed like Daytona drivers?

Feature: A Different Take On The World
Where we highlight a different way of thinking in order to better understand our experience of the world...

This week we visit Parral, Chile with a poem by Pablo Neruda called Poema 20. Born July 1904, Pablo Neruda was the pen name and, later, legal name of the Chilean poet-diplomat and politician Ricardo Eliecer Neftali Reyes Bosoalto. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971. Translated as Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Dispair , the poem expresses the pain of losing a lover. The bittersweet sentiment recalls their passionate relationship and recognises that "love is so short, forgetting is so long."
