Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Mutating Mobiles". Your

Tichborne Claimant". The story of a butcher from Wagga Wagga who tried

Tussaud’s and, one of the longest-running court cases in British
judicial history. [%]

the Congregation for Divine Worship which advises in the assessment of
english translations world-wide . But is it likely to serve the
worshipping life of the Australian Church? Imam Ata-ul-Mujib Rashid, is
leader of the British Ahmadiyya sect Muslims and imam of London's

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.

Fri.: VERBATIM - oral histories with David Mark. This week: "Monica
Buick". Some stories are large scale and wide ranging, while others,
though no less dramatic or rich in their scope, are set within a
smaller frame. Monica Buick has lived all of her long life on Kangaroo
Island, off the coast of South Australia. She's a farmer's wife, who
has only ever earned the sum of three dollars in wages (once!), and who
has only ever moved two kilometres from her original home. She's given

Buick has seen most the 20th century pass by. [T;%]

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,
the brain and human behavior with Natasha Mitchell. This week: "The
Anatomy of Melancholy". Published in 1621, "The Anatomy of Melancholy"

travels back in time to contemplate the legacy of the great tome's
author, Oxford clergyman and scholar Robert Burton. [T;%]

generating almost 45% of Australia's GDP, more than the mining sector.
