Hello everyone!

You’ve surely noticed by now we’ve been experimenting with the Sound Kitchen recipes … on Saturdays, at 5:16 universal time, tune in to hear if you are amongst the week’s winners. The winners names are here on our website, too. Look for Short Features / Sound Kitchen Winners.

Tune in on Sundays, at 4:22, 5:52 and 7:22 universal time, for the quiz question ... and whatever else is cooking up in the Sound Kitchen.

This week’s question was read on 13 November, and was about the Nobel Peace Prize – specifically, the women who have won it.

Since the Prize was founded in 1901, there have been 16 women named Laureate – including three women who won the 2011 Prize.

I asked you to send me the names of two other women who have won the Nobel Peace Prize.

The winners this week are: Mr. Zenon Teles, of the Christian-Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Association of Listening Dxers in Goa, India; Mrs. Anjana Parvin, from the Shetu Radio Fan Club in Naogaon, Bangladesh; Pasupati, the president of the Tentulia World Listener’s Club in West Bengal, India; Muhammad Nasyr, from Katsina State, Nigeria, and Hans Verner Lollike, from Hedehusene, Denmark.

For a complete list of Nobel Peace prize laureates, go to the Nobel website: http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/

Reading the biographies of these great women and men is truly inspiring.

Congratulations to all the winners – Sound Kitchen listeners and Peace prize laureates!

This week’s question is for you film fans out there: The 69th annual Golden Globes Awards were given out last Sunday, and one film won three awards … Best Musical Comedy, Best Musical Comedy Actor, and Best Musical Score. What is the name of this French-directed film? It also won Best Film and Best Director at the New York Film Critics Circle awards in November, and more recently, Best Picture from the Director’s Guild of America.

Send me your answer by 20 February; the answer and the winners will be announced on the 25 February programme. Be sure you send your postal address in with your answer … and be sure and tell me if you are a Mr. or a Mrs. or a Ms. or a Miss – I don’t want to get it wrong!

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner … send in your musical request and dedication for your sweetheart!

And remember, it’s not just the quiz which wins you a prize. If your essay goes on the air, you’ll find a package in the mail from the Sound Kitchen. Write in about your community heroes – the people in your community who are quietly working to make the world a better place, in whatever way they can. I am still looking for your “This I Believe” essays, too. Tell us about the principles that guide your life … what you have found to be true from your very own personal experience. Or write in with your most memorable moment, and/or your proudest achievement.

Send your mini book reviews, your musical requests, your secret “guilty” pleasure (mine’s chocolate!), your tricks for remembering things, your favourite quotations and proverbs, descriptions of the local festivals you participate in, or just your general all-around thoughts to:
[e-mail]

Include a phone number, if you can. I’d like to call you and put you on-the-air … and send you a thank-you gift for participating.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

All the best,

Susan
