Just out of curiosity, how many people from outside the US frequent this forum and the website in general (raise your hands)?

I'm not sure about the forum, but the main website gets people from around the world (which is pretty cool I think).  Here's a list of the top 20 locations over the past month...

Wow, not bad... And I have finally made up my mind as to what country I want to move to: I want to move to Not Set (no 10)  ;D
It would be nice to know now how many post or lurk in the forum, I know there's somebody from Scotland, for example...

I know there are...they're just keeping quiet for some reason.

My uncle was pure Italian.  His Mom and Dad came to the U.S. before he was born. He could speak excellent Italian.  His Dad made wine in the cellar.  I just buried him at age 100 (on Christmas Eve).  He was a real card.

Jake: Yes, Italy (which doesn't always make me particularly happy...) and buongiorno to you   :)  (although it's night over here right now, so I guess I should say buonanotte  ;) )
Where are you from exactly?

Nancy: sorry to hear about your uncle, hope it was painless for him  :(   Do you remember where his parents were from?

I'm sorry for your loss, but knowing him for so long sounds like quite a blessing.

Hi there, well I'm the guy from Scotland. It's interesting to see many people from non English speaking countries listen to the shows.

Are they using the shows to improve their English or for entertainment.

Oh, there you are! Where have you been hiding?  ;) :P
Well, it is pretty hard to keep a language in good (or at least acceptable) shape when you live in a country where nobody speaks it, so - as far as I'm concerned - this is also a good way to maintain what little I still remember of this language.
However, my main purpose is fun. I'm fascinated by these trips back in time, it's stuff I always only read about, and only recently have I discovered these shows were available on the net  :) 

How about you? I mean, you're from Scotland, so I guess American radio dramas are as much a part of your background as they are mine... what attracts you?  :)
