Episode 1258: Eclectic Avenue 260520 Spectrum Analysis
from Indigo FM Radio Show Podcasts · host Indigo FM
A spectrum is a continuous range of values, colours, or ideas that blend into one another without sharp divisions - it represents a gradual transition between two extremes. Bernie explores Leonard Ferguson's 1950s analysis of the political spectrum, distilling this down to 10 scales (with a song for each scale - well most of them). Sandy riffs on the term frequency, which is says is a key aspect of spectrum analysis, and focuses on frequency adverbs from 'Always' to 'never'. And Michael presents three types of spectrums - lift and science, medical and psychological, and everyday language. Needless to say there is a wonderful selection of songs played in this episode. Enjoy.
