Try to imagine a world without language; a world where words, grammar

comprehend and communicate in spoken or written word. Aphasia can be a

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: "#11: Digital Democracy". National governments have
existed to manage the economy, defend national boundaries and foster a
sense of national identity. Because digital networks operate outside
of the nation state, questions of nationhood are now being contested.
Is public interest a part of policy making in the information age? Can
digital communications reinforce the value of community? Should we, as
citizens of a participatory democracy, act locally while thinking
globally? Or should we attempt to act globally and risk losing any
sense of national identity? [T;%]

1605 HINDSIGHT - social history. This week: "In the Wake of the
'Caledonia'" A real-life pirate adventure story set in the South

1705 THE SPIRIT OF THINGS - religion and spirituality. This week:
"In Search of Zarathustra". The prophet Zarathustra arose in Persia
3000 years ago. His belief in a single God, Ahura Mazda, whose symbol
is the eternal flame, became the religion of Persia until Arabic
Muslims invaded in 650 CE. We visit Australian Zoroastrians, and

the origins of this reputedly first monotheistic religion whose core
beliefs foreshadowed Judaism, Christianity and Islam. [T;%]

Europeans - why did Greek Cypriots vote 'no'? [%]

to ignore the past when trying to envisage the future. I think that's a
tough ask... the past forms our thoughts and tastes... so this week i'm
focusing on a few releases that were made in the past and have a new
live by being re-released now. You may well be surprised just how
contemporary the sounds are... or at least recognise new sounds in
these past recordings - but don't worry, they're not old ordinary stuff

music went." [T;%]
