#404 Photowalk: The Voice of Peace

Can art and the spoken word be a voice for peace? Today, following the appalling events of a violent week in the Middle East, I discuss the "Greatest communicator you've never heard of," Abie Nathan; an Israeli humanitarian and peace activist who founded the Voice of Peace radio station which broadcast from a ship in the Mediterranean, with broadcaster Robbie Owen. For two decades it transmitted a message of togetherness and brought together all cultures, beliefs and nationalities to discuss peace across the region. Also, Valérie Jardin, our street mentor, talks about making collections of pictures and there are letters about self-belief, a photographic pilgrimage, the muscle trains of Australia and motivation to venture out with a camera. Links to all stories and guests will be on the SHOW PAGE as always and my sincere thanks to mpb.com who sponsor this show and the Extra Milers without whom we wouldn't be walking every week.
