for the last couple of weeks here on sound quality... and that's a good
thing as the specials were that [special].. it's also a good thing as

<http://www.abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/> for playlists and further
details. [T;%]
Thu.: No fooling – Dave Douglas & Bill Frisell are together again for
the first time! Hard to believe, but true: today’s featured new release
is the first substantial collaboration between longtime mutual admirers
Dave & Bill. Respectively/arguably, each has for some years been North
America’s most interesting improvising trumpeter/bandleader &
guitarist. The new Dave Douglas Quintet CD, “Strange Liberation”
features Bill as special guest/additional player. Freedom & coherence,
grooves & more abstract truths co-exist, to delightful effect. The
music is very “conversational” but never merely self-indulgent,
sometimes haunting & introspective, sometimes very exuberant.
Fri.: ‘Tales of Time and Space’ is the new album from Paul Grabowsky.
As befits one of Australia’s most advanced jazz
pianists/composers/thinkers, it’s a complex weave of improvisation and
dense composition, recorded in New York City with fellow Australian
trumpeter Scott Tinkler and four of New York’s foremost improvisers and
sound creators: tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano, soprano saxophonist
Branford Marsalis, drummer Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts and bassist Ed Schuller.
Whether it’s a ballad or an up groove, all concerned are wide awake as
they realise Paul’s musical visions.

ghastly experience, bad for our health and psyche, but rarely discussed
openly. Natasha Mitchell speaks to the leading international
researchers spearheading research into the psychology of this nasty
phenomena. With new evidence from neuroscience for why it quite
literally "hurts" to be left out; when families exclude one of their

isolation. [T;%]

Saturday
0005 PACIFIC REVIEW* (refer to Fri. 1805)
0030 OCKHAM'S RAZOR - sharp talk about science. This week: "Safe,
Legalised Euthanasia is a Myth". Dr Brian Pollard is a retired

in Sydney. He argues that believing euthanasia would be a socially
desirable practice, and making a safe law about it are totally
different things. [%]
0045 LINGUA FRANCA - about language. This week: "Homer Returns". The
epics attributed to Homer, "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey", have been
translated into English more often than the Bible. He may have
influenced western literature more than anyone else, but was Homer
actually illiterate? [%]
0105 ASIA PACIFIC WEEKEND EDITION* (refer to Fri. 2205)

0434 BOOK TALK - a mix of reviews, critical discussion and a look at
the latest developments in publishing with Amanda Smith. This week:
"The Rise of the Indian Rope Trick". At the beginning of the twentieth
century, the Indian Rope Trick was the world's most famous and
mysterious act of magic. Experts said it couldn't be done, yet people
claimed to have seen it with their own eyes. The truth is tale of
invented history and human credulity. Magician and historian Peter
Lamont went in search of the origins of the Indian Rope Trick, said to
reach far back into the mythical past of the mystic East. What he found
was a hoax story written in a Chicago newspaper in 1890. Nevertheless,
a legend was born, and in the following decades eye-witnesses regularly
came forward to say they'd seen the trick performed in India. [%]
0505 AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, with
Roger Broadbent. This week, we literally takes you down under. We visit
the country's deepest tourist attraction, a rich silver, lead and zinc
mine at Mt. Isa in the state of Queensland. We find out what it's like
to live with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder from the point of view of
the sufferer and their loved ones. And although it appears that there's
no escaping the threat of terrorism a former Australian diplomat, who's
now a professor of international relations, doesn't necessarily believe
that the 21st century will be as violent as the last.
0532 ALL IN THE MIND - a foray into the mental universe, the mind,
the brain and human behavior with Natasha Mitchell. This week: "The
Evolution of Depression--Could It Be Beneficial?" In a controversial
thesis, we hear from evolutionary biologists who argue that our
capacity to be depressed has evolved over millennia to help us respond
to and cope with difficult social circumstances. [%]

including Indigenous concerns in north Queensland's land management
practices. [T;%]
0905 THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "Germs for
All". Humans contain more germs than they do cells, if they're lucky.
Bacteria and viruses live with us providing nutrients, vitamins and
keeping nasty germs away. But chickens can miss out. We hear about a
plan to provide needy birds with a full bacterial smorgasbord. [%]

1405 BACKGROUND BRIEFING (refer to 0205)
1455 CORRESPONDENT'S NOTEBOOK
1505 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: "5--Smart Cities". Australia’s capital cities
developed in large part to service the needs of the rural economy. But
now our cities are the hubs for the finance, service and information
industries which are the new engines of global economic growth. Our
cities now compete internationally to become major centres to service
the global economy. According to the techno-optimists geography is no
longer a barrier to participation in global markets. But can remote and
rural communities be truly integrated into this network? We’re being
told that only the ‘information rich’ will survive in the digital age
where skills and knowledge become tradeable commodities? Will cities
lose touch with their hinterlands to the detriment of local
communities? [T;%]
1532 AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS (refer to 0505)
1605 HINDSIGHT - social history. This week: "Waifs and Strays--The
Children of the Randwick Destitute Children's Asylum". From 1858 to the
time of its closure in 1916, Sydney's Randwick Destitute Children's
Asylum had housed 6,000 neglected children.
More than two hundred of those children died at the Asylum, and for
over a century lay buried and forgotten in the nearby cemetery. We
explore the Asylum's history, and its impact. [%]
1655 PERSPECTIVE - informed commentary.
1705 THE SPIRIT OF THINGS - religion and spirituality. This week:
"The Suppressed Christian Tradition". In the late 1970s Elaine Pagels
published The Gnostic Gospels, putting into the public domain a
suppressed Christian tradition, which the church regarded as
'heretical'. They were the Gospels of Mary, Philip and Thomas, found at
Nag Hammadi, Egypt, in 1945. Now a world-famous scholar, Pagels argues
against the term "Gnostic," which was a term of reproach, and reflects
on the gospels' similarities to Kabbalistic and Buddhist thought. [T;%]

in a Texan death-house, a Palestinian Christian beside the Sea of

Representatives all have in common? Answer - the Lord's Prayer as an
important part of their lives. The Lord's Prayer is the centrepiece of

situations and it can feature in secular lives as well. In this week
before Easter, Encounter re-broadcasts this popular program with all
