New developments in science, space exploration, environment and technology

Welcome to the Hoopfanatic Podcast where the vast majority of discussions will be based around the culture of NBA Basketball. Conversations will venture away periodically from the topic of basketball into random thoughts. Get ready for intriguing dialogue and epic laughter!

Kevin Rosenquist, John Banks, and Greg Mitchell discuss events and people that exemplify how humans never really learn from their history. The show is part history podcast, part society and culture podcast, and all comedy podcast. Sometimes clever, sometimes sophomoric, but always entertaining, the boys are here to put a smile on your face.

Learning English is VOA’s multimedia source of news and information for millions of English learners worldwide. Learning English began as Special English, which Voice of America launched in 1959. Special English newscasts and features were a primary fixture of VOA’s international shortwave broadcasts for more than half a century. In 2014, our line of products was expanded to include more English teaching materials, and the service became known as Learning English.
