Hello everyone!
Welcome to The Sound Kitchen. You can catch the programme on-the-air every Saturday at 6:15, 7:15, 14:45 and 16:45 universal time. You’ll hear the winner’s names announced and the week’s quiz question, along with all the other ingredients you have grown accustomed to: your letters and essays, “On This Day”, quirky facts and news, interviews, and great music … so be sure and tune in every Saturday.
For our DX enthusiast friends: Our shortwave frequency is 13725 kHz on the 22m band, from 06.00 to 07.00 UT every day. We’ve had reception reports from Algeria, Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, China, Columbia, Cuba, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Poland, Russia, Sierra Leone, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates, the UK and the US, and although the frequency is “aimed” (or however that works) towards the African continent, give it a try. You never know … and be sure and send us your reception reports. Maybe we can get more time, which would be wonderful.
You can also hear our programs on WRMI and WRN. In Paris, you can hear us on World Radio Paris on DAB+. These broadcasters diffuse our programs out of the goodness of their hearts (and thank you thank you thank you WRMI, WRN, and World Radio Paris!), but unless you tell us how you heard us, we have no way of knowing … so do write and tell us how you listen to us.

This week’s quiz: On 14 May, I asked you a question about the presidential elections in the Philippines, which were held on 9 May. I asked you to send in the name of the winner, plus the name of at least three other candidates.
The answer is: Rodrigo Duterte – whose nickname is “The Punisher” for his tough talk on fighting crime - is the new president of the Philippines.
For the three other candidates, you could name Grace Poe, Mar Roxas, Jejomar Binay or Miriam Defensor-Santiago.
The winners are: Dr A K M Moniruzzaman, a member of the RFI Amour Fan Club in Rajshahi, Bangladesh; RFI Club member Supriyo Sarkar from Murshidabad, India; Ernest Ambe Che from Bamenda, Cameroon; Shoiab, a member of the RFI Fans Web Visitors Club in Khanpur, Pakistan, and Mogire Machuki, the president of the RFI Listeners Club in Kisii, Kenya..
