AUSTRALIA TALKS BACK - a daily national talkback program with Sandy

Today: "Australia Talks Books". This month we have one of the finest
reads of recent times, Don Watson's wonderfully savage 'Death Sentence'
- an obituary on the demise of clear language and a book that
chronicles the rise and triumph of commercial jargon and political
spin. "...in public life the language has never been held in less
regard. It withers in the dungeons of the technocratic mind. It is
butchered by the media. In politics it lacks all qualifications for the
main game." Join Ramona Koval and Don Watson on air or on line at
abc.net.au/rn.

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 birth to ten

At 93 years of age, from the confines of her rural island home, Monica
Buick has seen most the 20th century pass by. [T;%]

0030 OCKHAM'S RAZOR - sharp talk about science. This week: ""On the
Brink of Extinction". The black-eared miner bird (not to be confused
with the common pest myna, introduced from Asia) is an Australian
native. We have four species of miners, they are native honey-eaters

drive other birds away from their territories. But the black-eared one
is wary and shy and when intruders are present, it simply vanishes.

extraordinary and little known story of oen of Australia's best
conservation tales yet. [%]

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

[T;%]
0434 BOOK TALK - a mix of reviews, critical discussion and a look at
the latest developments in publishing with Amanda Smith. This week: "Dr

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;%]

1605 HINDSIGHT - social history. This week: "The Tichborne
Claimant". The story of a butcher from Wagga Wagga who tried to claim

baronet or butcher, either way, the claimant was a celebrity. In 1871,

plays, cartoons, endless newspaper articles, a waxwork at Madame
Tussaud’s and, one of the longest-running court cases in British
judicial history. [%]
