---------------------------

Weekdays
(RA or ABC News every hour on the hour)

0010 -
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 terrorism is high. Yet there is little coverage of this in the US 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.

This week: "Rare and Remarkable Bibles".

AUSTRALIA TALKS BACK - a daily national talkback program that's a forum for the discussion of a specific topic with the involvement of expert guests, Radio National specialists and listeners. [abc.net.au/rn/talks/austback/] for details. [%]
Wed.: "Skills Shortage". We’re facing a skills shortage that will cost billions in the next decade according to the ACTU. Traditional trades are struggling to replace an ageing workforce. So can we increase apprenticeships or simply have to import skilled workers?
Fri.: AUSTRALIA TALKS BOOKS - This month's book: "Mermaid Singing". For Charmian Clift, Greece was the Promised Land. In 1954 she and her husband, George Johnston, abandoned their sophisticated London existence and set off with two typewriters and two small children to start a new life.

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. Young professionals share their ideas about what is required to build truly smart and cohesive societies while regional experts discuss a range of issues from international education to creating liveable cities to being good corporate citizens. This week: "2. Global English". Learning English seems to be the smart thing to do as globalisation takes hold. English has become the pre-eminent language of world trade and international education. But will it retain this position?
Fri.: THE CHAT ROOM* - presented by Heather Jarvis. The place to meet people from the region living lives a little out of the ordinary. From business, to sport, science and the arts. Community leaders and quiet achievers. They drop in, share their stories and play a bit of music.


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. [%]

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. Tim comments, "Highlights that would attract me to this week's program include the best cover I've ever heard of the greatest song ever written [in the simple "love" pop song format.... well maybe it's the "pulled heart string of an anguished youth" song format], long before mary robinson found things in denmark of interest - this program was flying the musical flag of denmark... and again this week with sampled school teacher blues and another piece that uses dub as it's basis, we also have nz dub, rare re-released ska and french electronic..." [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.: 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.
