Thanks to Rhod and Jamillah for looking after this week, I was away on a boat looking at plankton (all will be explained in due course). This week we featured:

• Jamillah Knowles spoke toTwitterer's caught up in the earthquake in China
• Charles Malik from Lebanese Political Journal updated us on the tense situation there.
• The Burma watchers at World Wide Help spoke to Jamillah
• Bloggers around the world gave us their take on the food crisis. Thanks to: Georgia Popplewell and Janine Mendes-Franco, Last of Iraqis, Eduardo Avila, Mong Palatino and thanks also to Hanako Tokita and Scott Bonnell for helping with the broadcast
• I spoke to Matt Mason author of The Pirate's Dilemma . He explained why he thinks piracy can be good for business
• A reminder to visit the Britblog Roundup over at The Chameleon's place. Hopefully back on the podcast next week, when I should be back on base and available to do the recordings
