In many cases, you should be able to switch to another app as long as you keep this page open in the browser. But some Android devices will unfortunately close this page automatically (and stop playing) if you're in another app.

We finish the year with a cracker of a podcast. We'll talk about militant groups on Twitter, and about how an old school technology like radio can have a big impact in a place like Rwanda. Also, OLPC is planning on dropping laptops from helicopters. Yes, that's right. And we end with the ultimate B-Side story: Augusta Chiwy and the Siege of Bastogne.
