Weekdays (Midweek Update)
(RA or ABC News every hour on the hour)
0010 -
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "China on the Move". One
of the greatest social shifts in modern history will be undertaken in
China over the next decades as 500 million rural people head for the
towns and cities. Yuen Chan reports from Shanghai. [T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history with Jennifer Bowen. This week: "The
Parallel Worlds of TGH Strehlow". Between 1932 and 1968, linguist Ted
Strehlow collected the songs, myths, and legends of the Aranda people
from Central Australia. His translations of their songs and stories
into English, was published in his major work, the "Songs of Central
Australia". This Hindsight explores the interior life and the public
world of Ted Strehlow. [%]
0110 -
ASIA PACIFIC (refer to 2310) [T;%]
0130 -
Wed.: RELIGION REPORT - with Stephen Crittendon. This week, the first
in what we hope will be an occasional series on Religion and Education.
And we’ll be looking at the recent announcement of $362-million in
extra Commonwealth funding for Catholic schools. Finally, last
weekend’s election results in Malaysia and the rather surprising
setback for the Islamic party, PAS. [T;%]
Thu.: MEDIA REPORT - with Mick O'Regan. This week: "Digital Radio". We
look at what changes are ahead for radio. With digital trials currently
under way, what's the future for digital radio in Australia? [T;%]
Fri.: THE SPORTS FACTOR - with Warwick Hadfield. This week: "Life in
the Fast Lane". The Federal Government has announced a review of
Athletics Australia. The review comes just 12 months after the
Australian Sports Commission gave AA an award for being one of the
best run sporting bodies in Australia. So what's gone wrong? And is
now, as athletes are getting ready for the Athens Olympics, a good
time for an inquiry? [T;%]

Aramaic at Sydney University, discusses whether this was in fact the
language of Jesus. [%]
Thu.: THE ARK - Rachael Kohn talks to some of the world's leading
religious historians and authors about curious moments in religious
history that shatter the usual perception of the past and illuminate
the present. This week: "W.B. Yeats--Poet and Magus". The occult
involvement of W.B. Yeats was a sustaining element of his life and
poetry, yet scholars have largely downplayed it. We examine the ideas
and practices that gave his poetry a layer of meaning often hidden to
the reader. [T;%]

wonderful. <http://www.abc.net.au/rn/music/soundqlt/> for details and
playlists. About this weekend's program, Tim writes, "My last treat
from the european broadcasting union's eurosonic network for a little
while.... nu jazz dj and tasteful selector tom strauch will delight you
with a selection of tunes that shows a discerning ear can collect
seemingly incompatible sources and blend them together as though they
were meant to be...." [T;%]

THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans with jazz, blues, folk styles, art music and
more in a show artfully arranged for radio.
<http://www.abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/> for playlists and further
details. [T;%]
Wed.: Today’s featured albums show how very alive in Scotland is
so-called “traditional” music. “Glad Company” is the debut CD by Anna
Massie, who’s equally fine as guitarist/fiddler, interpreting tunes old
& new, including her own. Anna was still a teenager in January 2003
when she won BBC Radio Scotland’s “Young Traditional Musician of the
Year” Award. On her album she’s sometimes her own orchestra & sometimes
joined by two other talented young Scotswomen. Anna's zest is as
striking as her dexterity. “A Thousand Miles Away” is the third CD by
the Shetland quartet, Filska, whose three female members are all
excellent fiddlers, & cover piano & accordion too. Andrew Tulloch plays
very tasteful guitar. Filska plays originals & other tunes old & new,
with uncommon elegance & lyricism. It’s a band of gifted arrangers as
well as players. These CDs are both the fruit of a love of
“traditional” music which is deep, but not exclusive.
Thu.: “I dig everybody who plays with soul” declares guitarist Mike
Stern. He’s always “liked that vocal sound on my guitar”. So it makes
perfect sense that Stern works so well with vocalists. They – in
particular, the silken-toned Richard Bona from Cameroon – are a key
presence on Stern’s new CD, “These Times”. Given Stern’s “play from the
heart” approach, the vocal quality is always there, even on the purely
instrumental numbers. Ever since his big break with Miles Davis in
1981, Stern has been a guitar hero in both “jazz-as-such” and “fusion”
circles. Musically, his new album is sometimes “hot”, sometimes “cool”.
It’s always warm-hearted.
Fri.: “Tortured-with-a-twist-honky-soul-twang” is one description
(Glenn O’Brien’s, in Andy Warhol’s Interview Magazine) of Canadian
songster Cris Cuddy. He keeps good company: guitarists Albert Lee &
Andrew Hardin & multi-instrumentalist Fats Kaplin are among the players
on Cuddy’s new CD. “Keep The Change” is the title on the front.
“Nowhere Town” says the back: yes, it's a double-album of original
songs. Cuddy (alias – in other musical circumstances – “Jeremy
Dormouse” & “Max Mouse”) is sardonic but definitely not heartless.
Reviewer Jeremy Searle greeted his latest offering as “the kind of
wonderful sprawl Ryan Adams might have made if he wasn’t busy pissing
his talent away trying to be a rock star.

Fri.: VERBATIM - oral histories with David Mark. This week: "Alice
Oxley--Spanning the 20th Century". Alice Oxley was born just outside
Sydney in 1904, at a time when society was deeply ingrained with
Victorian principles. As she talks about her Sydney childhood in the
years before the Great War, she portrays an Australia unimaginable to
us today. [T;%]
2110 -
Wed.-Thu.: AM - ABC Radio's flagship current affairs program setting

correspondents around Australia and around the world. [T;%]
2130 -
Wed.: IN THE PIPELINE - This thirteen part radio series goes beyond
the current hype surrounding digital technology to examine the
challenges and opportunities it creates for Australia and the Asian
region. This week: "4--Electronic Empires". Now that the digital
pipeline can carry sound, vision and text, there’s been a rush by
moguls like Rupert Murdoch to take control of both the content and
distribution of the entertainment and information industries. Seven
huge global empires including News Corp, Sony and Walt Disney now boast
control of broadcasting, film-making and publishing. And it’s not only
the traditional media industries which are being consumed by these
conglomerates, but new IT industries such as Internet Service Providers
(ISP’s). Will this result in a homogenisation of culture on a global
scale or might it regenerate local cultures as a response to
globalisation? [T;%]
Thu.: ALL IN THE MIND - a foray into the mental universe, the mind,
the brain and human behavior with Natasha Mitchell. This week: "The
Cruel Power of Silence", Part 1 of 2. Ostracism, rejection, social
exclusion, bullying, the silent treatment - their power to undermine
our confidence and well-being is enormous but rarely discussed openly.
Over
two weeks, Natasha Mitchell speaks to the leading international experts
spearheading research into the psychology of these cruel phenomena.
[T;%]
Fri.: IN CONVERSATION - Robyn Williams talks to scientists and those
interested in the subject, about what science has meant to their lives.
This week: "Nick Webb". They were Douglas Adams’s initials. DNA. Which
may explain why the arts graduate had such an abiding and even expert
knowledge of science. He even gave paid lectures in Silicon Valley.
Nick Webb, who’s just written a delightful biography of Adams, tells
some yarns about the big bloke, how he lived, and why his death was
such a loss. [%]

Thu.: THE BUZZ - technology understandably explained. This week:
"Secret Codes".
Cryptography - the process of making information unintelligible and
converting it back again - is not just for spies. It underpins much of
our lives. Banking, retailing, data
management and communication are all big users of cryptography. [%]
