affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Mutating Mobiles". Your

pictures. It may change language, the way we relate to each other, and
even bring down governments. The phone will also keep an eye on where
you are. Tom Morton reports. [T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history with Jennifer Bowen. This week: "The
Tichborne Claimant". The story of a butcher from Wagga Wagga who tried
to claim the estate of an English aristocrat who'd been lost at sea.
And baronet or butcher, either way, the claimant was a celebrity. In
1871, throughout Great Britain and Australia, he was the subject of
songs, plays, cartoons, endless newspaper articles, a waxwork at Madame
Tussaud’s and, one of the longest-running court cases in British
judicial history. [%]

shortly as the disease rapidly progresses. And she has to pay about
$900 a month for oxygen. [T;%]
Tue.: LAW REPORT - with Damien Carrick. This week: "Ruling by Privacy
Commissioner; Asylum Seekers and Persecution by Individuals". Last week

breach of The Privacy Act. It's the first time the Coimmissioner has
made a ruling with respect to the private sector. Also Asylum Seekers.
The case of the Ukrainian Jehovah's Witnesses - who claimed they were
being persecuted - not by their government but by other citizens. The
High Court found against them, but Australia does in some circumstances

native. We have four species of miners, they are native honey-eaters
and with the exception of the black-eared miner are aggressive and
drive other birds away from their territories. But the black-eared one
is wary and shy and when intruders are present, it simply vanishes.
Aivd bird twitcher and writer Sue Taylor from Melbourne tells the
extraordinary and little known story of oen of Australia's best
conservation tales yet. [%]
Tue.: IN CONVERSATION - Robyn Williams talks to scientists and those
interested in the subject, about what science has meant to their lives.
This week: "A Clone of Your Own?" (part 2 of 2). Arlene Klotzko asks
why we're so incensed by the prospect of human clones. Is it the waste
of resources, the extra-terrestrial con tricks, the vanities or simply
an abhorrence of production-line people? [%]
Wed.: LINGUA FRANCA - about language. This week: "Talking About Sex".

earth. No one's got a good word to say about them. Why do people hate
journalists, yet love their stores? Everyone's happy to talk about Posh

Mon.: As most Australians enjoy their Anzac Day Public Holiday, we
remember how rich - before war so nearly destroyed it all - was musical
culture in Afghanistan. "Radio Kaboul" is a new recording. Mahwash is
still acknowledged as Afghanistan's finest female voice, even though
she’s long lived in California. Her broadcasts on Radio Afghanistan
made her enormously popular. She was “Artist of the year” in 1970. In
1977 she received the title of Ustad (Master). This new, high-fidelity
recording honours those who made the radio a focal point for life in
Afghanistan from 1940 on, when it broadcast a blend of Indian, Persian
& Afghan music. In 2003 the BBC granted Mahwash the Asia/Pacific Award
of World Music. She remains a very potent vocalist and is beautifully
accompanied on an album of passionate yet refined, very haunting music.
Tue.: Today’s show is a cornucopia of reeds, full of rich textures &
nice surprises. It is (we trust!) free of flatulence, but is full of
wind. “Reeds” is the new CD by West Australian composer & improvising
multi-instrumentalist, Mark Cain. He plays an enormous number of
instruments – some of his own invention. His CD is adventurous, highly
diverse & readily accessible. The one-man wind orchestra has some
occasional percussive assistance from Paul Tanner. We’ll also explore
the new CD by an unusual English-based, more-or-less Irish trio. “Last
Night’s Fun” is two-thirds full of wind & reeds: one member is a
phenomenal player of the concertina, another a virtuoso of the uniquely
Irish, uillean pipes.
Wed.: Frifot” means footloose in Swedish and the Swedish trio, Frifot
have a footloose approach to Swedish folk music. Formed in 1987, they
are Ale Moller, Lena Willemark and Per Gudmundson, Sweden’s pioneers
of folk music. They are multi-instrumentalists who produce a wide
range of sounds, expanding into 3 part a cappella vocals on their new
album, ‘Sluring,’ named after a Swedish stew of meat and potatoes. As
they’ve given us the recipe to this ancient dish, we’ll make the Daily
Planet a festival of recipes.
Thu.: “The Rough Guide to the Music of Argentina” would like to
remind you that tango is just one of “the country’s diverse musical
outpourings”. That said, there’s some very nice & not over-familiar
tango music on the CD. It also takes in Andean-folkloric & other
elements, including music from the heart of “Chamamé country" {near the
Brazilian border), a harmonica virtuoso & a master guitarist.
Fri.: “Cesaria Evora” is by far the best know Cape Verdean musician
today, with sales of over 4 million albums. After being discovered at
home at the age of 20, she took time off to raise a family, re-entering
performance when she moved to Paris in the 1980s. She’s known as the
‘Barefoot Diva,’ because that’s how she performs on stage to ‘remind me
of the dignity of my Cape Verdean identity.’ Her new 10th album, “Voz
D’Amor” (Voice of Love) is a return to pure Cape Verdean music,
recorded in the few gaps in her busy touring schedule with her tight
touring band.

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: "#9--Virtual Reality". Computer technology
introduced us to simulated experiences - the sense of being in another
place at another time. Virtual reality has gone beyond a whole new set
of entertainment experiences into value added training for a range of
professionals such as pilots, doctors, and town planners. It’s also
opening up opportunities for further growth in service industries such
as tourism. Outside of these conventional uses of computer-mediated
experiences, there exists a whole new world called ‘cyberspace’. What
is it? And how do we relate to it? [T;%]
Thu.: ALL IN THE MIND - a foray into the mental universe, the mind,
