Weekdays
(RA or ABC News every hour on the hour)
0010 -
Tue.: THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "Coral Reefs
in Crisis". The cover story of the internationally renowned journal
“Nature” this week features research on the Great Barrier Reef and
threats to its survival. We hear from scientists and policy makers in
Townsville attending a forum about reefs. [%]
Wed.: THE NATIONAL INTEREST - Terry Lane looks at the major issues of
the week. "Nobody's Home". Terry Lane talks to American author Tom Gass
about Gass’s book “Nobody's Home”, which describes the daily reality of
providing intimate care to 26 elderly citizens in a nursing home. [%]
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Parts From Pigs". Some
countries already transplant from animals to humans, claiming there’s
little danger of new viruses crossing species. Other scientists
disagree, saying it could lead to new epidemics. Amanda Armstrong
reports. [T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history with Jennifer Bowen. This week:
"W.E.H. Stanner, A Life". W.E.H. (Bill) Stanner is regarded as one of
Australia's most important anthropologists. In this program, Stanner's
life, and his contribution to the understanding of Aboriginal life and
culture, is recalled by family, colleagues and friends. [%]
0110 -
ASIA PACIFIC (refer to 2310) [T;%]
0130 -
Mon.: HEALTH REPORT - with Maryke Steffens. This week: "The Truth
About Soy". A survey in Australia showed that one in five people
consume soy products. This billion-dollar industry is riding on the
wave of soy’s healthy image, but are you getting the health benefits
you thought you were paying for? Is it all just hype? [T;%]
Tue.: LAW REPORT - with Damien Carrick. This week: "Bankruptcy;
Juries". If someone goes bankrupt, should creditors be able to recover
not only the bankrupt's property but also the family home which is in
the spouse's name? Proposed new federal legisation has lots of
professionals hot under the collar! Also, Juries--how well do they
work? We take a peek inside the jury-room and look at how they arrive
at a decision. [T;%]
Wed.: RELIGION REPORT - with Stephen Crittendon.
[abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/relrpt/] for details. [T;%]
Thu.: MEDIA REPORT - with Mick O'Regan.
[abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/mediarpt/] for details. [T;%]

Mon.: OCKHAM'S RAZOR - sharp talk about science. This week: "Working
Till 100?". Since the beginning of 2004 there have been further moves
by the Australian government to encourage the prolongation of working
life and an end to the cult of 'early retirement'. The Treasurer
foreshadowed changes to the national superannuation scheme to provide
tax incentives that would enable workers to access their superannuation
assets while still employed. Part time work, combined with a part
pension would keep people working longer. Sol Encel, Professor Emeritus
in Sociology at the University of New South Wales, discusses the
issues. [%]
Tue.: IN CONVERSATION - Robyn Williams talks to scientists and those
interested in the subject, about what science has meant to their lives.
This week: "Griff Morris". An initiative of the Subiaco Council in WA
is a demonstration that sustainable living is available to everybody.
Today we visit a green townhouse with project co-ordinator Griff Morris
to see how this is possible. [%]
Wed.: LINGUA FRANCA - about language. This week: "Word Games". We
repeat the first of four programs from Robert Dessaix, first broadcast
in October 2003. This week, if you thought that puns, acrostics,
charades, et cetera were quaint relics from a bygone era, then think
again as Robert brings us up to date on Word Games. [%]
Thu.: THE ARK - Rachael Kohn talks to some of the world's leading
religious historians and authors about curious moments in religious
history that shatter the usual perception of the past and illuminate
the present. This week: "The Alhambra". The last stronghold of Muslim
Spain to fall to the Christians, The Alhambra is the huge fortress and
palace that overlooks Granada. From the Alhambra, Queen Isabella and
King Ferdinand read the decree to expel the Jews from Spain in 1492.

internet. And in an age when there’s so much news available. Could they
change the way we access information? Do they offer greater chances for

Tue.: EARTHBEAT - environmental issues raised by economic development
with Jackie May. This week: "Canal Dreaming". Canal estates have been
banned in at least one Australian state and are on the nose in a couple
more, due to environmental concerns. This hasn't stopped a large
corporation proposing a big canal development in Tasmania. [T]
Wed.: RURAL REPORTER - the people and places that make up country
Australia.
+++++Thu.: SUSTAINABLE LIVING - A program exploring what some

[T;%]
1305 -
THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans with jazz, blues, folk styles, art music and
more in a show artfully arranged for radio.
[abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/] for playlists and further details. [T;%]
Mon.: Eddie Palmieri has declared, “I'm a frustrated percussionist,
so I take it out on the piano." The powerhouse
pianist/composer/bandleader turns 67 on the very day we feature his
splendid new CD. “Ritmo Caliente” is indeed hot, spicy & rhythmic. It's
also lyrical & subtle. Palmieri has long been one of the most
consistently creative individuals in what’s variously labelled
“latino”, “salsa”, “latin-jazz” & “Afro-Caribbean” music. Palmieri’s
“Bach goes Bata” is a particularly nice marriage of Europe & Africa.
Throughout, Palmieri & his colleagues (including superb trumpeter,
Brian Lynch) play superbly. The featured vocalist - Hermán Flores – is
fine, too.
Tue.: Senegal’s Youssou N’Dour has one of the world’s lovelier
voices. Arguably - in the words of Mark Hudson of “The Observer” - he’s
“Africa’s most famous musician & the single most significant figure to
emerge from the whole ‘world music’ phenomenon.” Inarguably, his
“Egypt” is unique. His 'secret' album has taken five years to emerge
into full public view, in part because of his concern to ensure it not
be misunderstood. He & Egyptian arranger-conductor Fathy Salama have
crafted a lush yet intimate marriage of Arabic & West African musics.
It’s also a celebration of “a distinctive, ‘Senegalese way’ of Islam“:
a Sufi-centred way, peaceful, loving & delighting in diversity.
Declares the Muslim singer, “The difference between religions &
languages is not an obstacle but a wealth.” Islam is fundamental to
him. It's this album’s raison d’etre. N'Dour's vision of Islam is
diametrically opposed to “fundamentalism”.
Wed.: Sean Tyrrell is a singer from Galway who has been described as
‘the most intensely moving, soulful and talented singer of ballads and
traditional songs in Ireland today.’ He lived and performed in Galway
and Greenwich Village in the '60s and San Francisco and New Hampshire
in the '70s before returning home, but didn’t make a solo record until
1996. His new album’s title: “The Best of Sean Tyrrell: Man For Galway”
is a bit of a misnomer because 7 of its tracks are new to disc,
recorded intimately in Sean’s home. His warm baritone really gets
inside a song so there are no unnecessary frills.
Thu.: “Armenia Anthology” acknowledges “the remarkable historical
integrity of Armenian culture flies in the face of a history marked by
unflagging political instability.” The first country to have adopted
Christianity as its state religion, Armenia has been a crossroads, a
battleground & a centre of learning for thousands of years. A thousand
years ago its biggest city was larger & more sophisticated than any in
Western Europe. Musically the sacred & secular, the “art” & the “folk”
aspects are intimately inter-connected. They’re nicely surveyed here by
The Shoghaken Ensemble. “Shoghaken” means “source of light”. The music
is generally haunting, most especially when the ensemble’s founder
Gevorg Dabaghyan exercises his mastery of the duduk - the Armenian
“oboe” which sounds like no other oboe. Its fine singers are brother &
sister: Hasmik & Aleksan Harutyunyan.
Fri.: Eric Bibb has done the hardest thing in acoustic blues. He has
evolved his own style – a smooth and sincere gospel/blues amalgam of
traditional songs mixed with his own compositions that speak quietly to
the modern heart. His new album features 15 songs, each with a
different friend – Taj Mahal, Guy Davis, Martin Simpson, Harry Manx,
Charlie Musselwhite and Led Ka’apana among them, but he also
collaborates with musical friends who were unknown to us previously.
We’re sure you’ll be glad to meet them all on ‘Friends’.
