Weekdays
(RA or ABC News every hour on the hour)
0010 -
Tue.: THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "Living with
FIV". Cats have their own form of HIV--feline AIDS. About a third of
the cat population of some cities catch it, mainly through fighting.
Now a team in Auckland has used the viral genes to track cat history.
Do they precede Europeans in Australia? [%]
Wed.: THE NATIONAL INTEREST - Terry Lane looks at the major issues of
the week. This week: "Paying for the sins of the children; A fair
bet?". Lane asks whether parents should pay for the sins of their
children. In a landmark case in WA, parests were ordered to pay damages
of $60,000 after their teenage children deliberately set fire to three
houses. Prominent barrister and children's rights advocate Moira Rayner
joins Terry to discuss the case. Also, Australia opens up to yet
another form of gambling. On-line betting exchanges allow on-line
punters to wager against each other and offer more attractive odds than
traditional bookmakers - and they are coming soon to a computer near
you. [%]
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Homegrown Terrorists".
Hate groups in America are growing, and the potential for domestic

media. Who's heard of the William Krar case? He could have razed a
shopping mall, as Helen Thomas reports. [T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history with Claudia Taranto. This week:
"Wattle Records and Films". Wattle was unique in many respects – it was
the first Australian record label to have a major hit record on the
Australian record charts; the first to make dramatised and animated
films of bush ballads; the first to commercially release recordings of
didgeridoo playing and Aboriginal traditional songs; the first to
invent and use a portable recording desk and a synchronised film and
audio tape machine and the first to have Australian bush music played
on television - on ABCTV. [%]

Humans?"
Crime researchers are reporting a strong link between cruelty to
animals and child abuse and domestic violence. So what does the way we
treat animals tell us about human behaviour? And is animal cruelty an
accurate predictor of violence against humans?
Fri.: AUSTRALIA TALKS BOOKS - This month's book: "Mermaid Singing".

THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans with jazz, blues, folk styles, art music and

[abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/] for playlists and further details. [T;%]
Mon.: Keyvan Chemirani is the older son in one of the world’s great
percussive families. There is a deal of superb hand-drumming on the
Paris-born Iranian’s new CD, “The rhythm of speech”. But it’s
not-percussion-heavy, nor primarily “Persian”. Here, the young master
of the zarb & the daf (click “more” for more information) collaborates
with singers from many places & cultures. The results are vibrant,
highly diverse, & consistently beautiful. The singers – of both genders
– come from Mali, southern India, Morocco, Provence, Brittany, Algeria,
Turkey & Pakistan.
Tue.: Hawaii is home to a unique & lovely school of fingerstyle
acoustic guitar. Ki ho’alu – Hawaiian slack-key – can be very
virtuosic, but its masters always play (and often sing) in a very
relaxed, always-lyrical way. “Ho’ Olohe” (“listen”) by Martin Pahinui
is the latest release on the genre’s key record label. Martin comes
from one of Hawaii’s pre-eminent musical families. Primarily a singer,
he also plays well & on this CD the 6 & 12-string lead parts are mostly
played by one of the masters of ki ho’alu – George Kuo. Steel guitarist
Bobby Ingano is the special guest. We’ll also hear from pianist
Geoffrey Keezer’s new CD “Falling Up” on which another Hawaiian guitar
master – Keola Beamer – is his special guest & collaborator.
Wed.: The “Sandy Lopicic Orkestar” are a Balkan brass band like no
other. With musicians drawn from various parts of former Yugoslavia and
further afield, they put a contemporary and ancient spin on the genre.
Mattias Loibner plays the ancient Hurdy Gurdy in a post-Hendrix style
and the rhythm section switches between Balkan and funk feels, while
the brass and saxes do the same with jazz and Balkan. Add three feisty
female vocalists and you’re in for a wild ride indeed with their second
international album – “Balkea”.
Thu.: Ann Savoy was born in Virginia, but became part of the very
inclusive Cajun culture when she married Marc Savoy – accordionist,
instrument maker and cultural commentator supreme. Last year she
produced an album called ‘Evangeline Made’ which paired non-Louisiana
and Cajun musicians together. This year she produced ‘Creole Bred’ – a
pairing of Zydeco musicians with the likes of Cindy Lauper, David
Hidalgo, Taj Mahal, The Campbell Brothers, Sweet Honey in The Rock and
Michelle Shocked. The performances lean towards the traditional,
Cajun-oriented Creole sounds and the classic sounds of Clifton Chenier
and there are many hot new players unearthed on the Zydeco side of the
equation.
Fri.: “Do Mention The Wars” is a special edition which foreshadows
this weekend's special programs, as Radio National marks the ninetieth
anniversary of World War One. "The Planet" won't limit itself to that
war, nor only to the "Great" wars, but armed conflict is behind all of
the music. It's not uniform: generically, geographically,
philosophically & emotionally, today's songs & tunes are highly diverse.
