Don’t know where this will go, but I felt I had to share it. (Hence its appearance in MPSIMS.) It appears that many Afghanis are addicted to a radio soap opera based on the Archers, BBC radio series which has been going since the 50s. (See http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/archers/?survey for more info). The Guardian website has the story at http://www.guardian.co.uk/waronterror/story/0,1361,579231,00.html and they even have a translated extract at http://www.guardian.co.uk/waronterror/story/0,1361,579232,00.html
Fascinating stuff!
