Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Psychos in Suits". You need to be a little mad to go into management, and you need to be a bit mad to do it well. But, there's a thin grey line. Stressed bosses, and staff, often slip into psychopathy. Ian Walker reports. [T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history with Jacqueline Arias. This week: "The Jean Lee Story". A feature which explores the story of Jean Lee, the last woman hanged in Australia in 1951.

Wed.: RURAL REPORTER - the people and places that make up country Australia.
+++++Thu.: SMART SOCIETIES - a new eleven part education series that seeks to explore some of the challenges facing the region.

1205 -
Wed.-Thu.: LATE NIGHT LIVE - Phillip Adams hosts a discussion of current events in politics, science, philosophy and culture. [abc.net.au/rn/talks/lnl/] for details. [%]
Wed.: Nikita Khrushchev biographer, William Taubman.
Thu.: Sprawl-speak--From 'alligator' to 'boomburb'.
Fri.: SOUND QUALITY - For 25 years, Tim Ritchie has been seeking out music: the interesting, the evolutionary, the inaccessible and the wonderful. [abc.net.au/rn/music/soundqlt/] for details and playlists. This week Tim writes, "Beat.... to defeat another, to strike someone, to forge, to stir or even a path one patrols? This week we are going to deal with where music started... the beat. Such strong releases, that I'll play two cuts from each. This is a program of new releases that all have a focus on the beat.." [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;%]
Wed.: “Dancing Cheek to Cheek” has very fresh versions of that & one other “standard” song, but Danish guitarist Pierre Dørge & The New Jungle Orchestra mostly play their own music. It’s really original, albeit informed by a keen sense of history & of connections between seemingly “unrelated” places & genres. The core instrumentation may suggest “jazz big band”, but this music is more playful & much more worldly than any merely-jazz big band’s. The humour is delicious, too: “Sun Ra Saluting Mars” has the most unlikely “Waltzing Matilda” quote we’ve ever heard! Guests include a West African master of the kora. Highlights include a riotous piece which remembers Bollywood movies, as experienced whilst studying Manding music in West Africa, & a beautiful sound poem based on the Orchestra’s travels in China & Indonesia.
Thu.: Susan McKeown has one of the lovelier Irish voices. She doesn’t just coast on it. The Dublin-raised New Yorker is uncommonly adventurous. Her new CD “Sweet Liberty” is free of cheesy gimmicks & lame “fusions" but offers some big surprises. Among them - in perfectly-cast roles - are Mariachi musicians & a group of Tuareg women from the Sahara! The musicianship is excellent throughout, including the players of instruments you’d more reasonably expect to find on what’s essentially a set of traditional Irish songs.
Fri.: Perhaps Andy Bey is an acquired taste, because his crooning baritone voice can seem sugary to the uninitiated. But once you accept him, his voice is a revelation – a four octave range that sounds relaxed yet intimate and urgent in its lower register, and then transforms into a powerful, joyous instrument in its upper range. His new CD, ‘American Songs’, an album of jazz standards, is his most realised album to date. The arranging by Geri Allen is creative and impeccable and the tenor sax and flute solos by 82-year-old Frank Wess are to die for. As you listen to him reinvigorate and personalise these old songs you’ll wonder why you never heard him before.
