• Underbelly

  

  Culinary fiend and part-time vampire impersonator Baron Ambrosia takes us on a video tour of the secret food of New York. Each week he brings us treats from all the Big Apple's food cultures.
  
  This week Liberian chef Eliza Smith shows us the secret of Liberian cuisine...basically beef, fish, chicken and everything else in every dish. It looks a bit of a mish-mash, but according to our host, it's "sinister", which is Baron-speak for very, very tasty.

• BBC's World Today Select

  

  Special news reports culled from BBC World Service show The World Today. The fine tradition of quality news reporting from Auntie Beeb gives you the latest news and opinions from around the world, in an easy-to-chew takeaway format.
  
  Recent episodes feature highlights from a week of special programming on Iraq, focusing on politics and the future hopes of the Iraqi people, but also the violence and how it may change that future. Also bizarrely: turning Chernobyl into a wildlife sanctuary 21 years after meltdown. Three-eyed fish, anyone?

• Jimmy Pardo - Never Not Funny

  

  All-American stand-up comedian Jimmy Pardo, of The Tonight Show and That 70s Show, is these days much more well known for his podcast radio show than for his TV work. Every week he sits down for a stream of chit-chat with friends and fellow comics Mike Schmidt and Matt Belknap.
  
  In recent episodes: hanging out with Cuba Gooding Jr before he was famous; the hairdresser on Knight Rider; and playing Super Mario Brothers and Genghis Khan on Super Nintendo while unemployed. Loud and sweary but sometimes projectile-coffee hilarious.

• Snowfix

  

  From the Extreme Sports cable channel comes Snowfix, presented by two woolly-hatted snow-carving dudes called Tim and Charlie. Even if you don't ski, this will make you want to go.
  
  In the latest episode: tricks and tips, news, plus some eye-popping freeriding footage from a new extreme mountain-skiing movie called Respect. Freeriding apparently consists of basically falling down a cliff into a big pile of snow and not getting killed.
