Two short articles describe some unusual educational radio programing. A program on African literature is broadcast by the Iowa State University radio station and consists of discussions, talks and readings. Programs are transcribed onto cassettes and kept in the university library. The second article notes that Radio Cairo has produced a textbook series to accompany its "Arabic by Radio" program. The station distributes the books free of charge. Lessons may be heard in English on radio in the U.S. A bibliography section lists a French article on use of radio in language classes and a new book (in preparation) on international short wave broadcasting.
