---------------------------
Weekdays
(RA or ABC News every hour on the hour)
0010 -
Tue.: THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "Killer
Tides". Suddenly, from nowhere, blankets of algae spread over the sea
threatening fish and reefs alike. In Townsville such a killer tide
followed celebratory fireworks. The phosphate in the ash caused the
eruption! Another outbreak, still underway, is like a vast layer of
spaghetti suffocating the coral. Research at James Cook University
promises to tackle such tides and even use the weed to soak up
pollutants. In New Zealand similar studies are looking
into outbreaks of species new to science. [%]
Wed.: THE NATIONAL INTEREST - Terry Lane looks at the major issues of
the week. This week: "The End of the Family Farm?" Lane looks at the
demise of the family farm as small holdings are consolidated into huge
agricultural enterprises. It seems many farmers can only stay on the
land by subsidising their income with off-farm jobs. [%]
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Seriously Funny
Politics". Young people in the US, bored and disillusioned by
mainstream media, get their politics from satire shows and fake news
comedy. [T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history with Claudia Taranto. This week:
"Anzac Memories".
Featuring oral history recordings with Diggers, historian Alistair
Thomson looks at the creation of the official story of Anzac, and the
effect it had upon those who lived in its shadow. [%]

ASIA PACIFIC (refer to 2310) [T;%]
0130 -
Mon.: HEALTH REPORT - with Norman Swan. This week: "Screening for
Bowel Cancer". If detected at an early stage, bowel cancer is highly
curable. We look at the results of a demonstration pilot screening for
colorectal cancer in the UK and talk to an Australian specialist
regarding the situation here. [T;%]
Tue.: LAW REPORT - with Damien Carrick. This week: "An Overhaul of the
Family Law System; Children's Rights in Fiji". The government has just
announced an overhaul of the Family Law system - designed to help
separating couples solve their differences before they call in the
lawyers. We ask - What will this mean for divorcing couples? Also we
talk to a Judge from Fiji - about the types of practical steps you can
take to protect children’s rights – in a cash-strapped developing
country. [T;%]
Wed.: RELIGION REPORT - with Stephen Crittendon. This week: "World War
One".
Was WWI the beginning of the 20th Century or, in fact, the culmination
of a growing sense of doom and anxiety that had characterised the later
half of the 19th Century? Historian George Mosse, one of the most
respected historians to write on the climate of ideas and the spirit
that led to war, is one of the distinguished guests featured in this
program. [T;%]

Relations Part Two". This is part two of a two part talk by Adjunct
Professor of Public and International Health at Murdoch University in
Western Australia, Peter Underwood. He talks about his experiences and
impressions during a trip to China. [%]
Tue.: IN CONVERSATION - Robyn Williams talks to scientists and those
interested in the subject, about what science has meant to their lives.
This week: Dr Chris Smith is both a virologist and a Naked Scientist.
He does his research at Trinity College Cambridge and his unclothed
scientific cavorting on radio. Naked Scientist is becoming an
institution on British radio. Having won a Churchill Scholarship, Dr
Smith spent the last few months with the ABC Science Unit and here
reflects on his experience and why Australia is far more willing to
take risks than the UK. [%]

forum for the discussion of a specific topic with the involvement of
expert guests, Radio National specialists and listeners.

Mon.: "The Rise Of The Documentary". Documentaries are riding the
wave of commercial success. And Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 is the
latest to break records around the country. So are we seeing a new
style of mass appeal documentary? Or just the latest form of cinematic
propaganda?

issues from international education to creating liveable cities to
being good corporate citizens. This week: "3. International Education."
The internationalisation of education is a growing business
particularly in English-speaking countries. What are the challenges and
benefits for international students and the host country?

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.: It's "First Monday": when "The Planet" looks fondly back at
the best new releases of the month that just was. It's not just a
nostalgia trip: we always save some of the finest cuts for a debut
airing on this day.
Tue.: Our featured artist's succinct autobiography: “Grew up in
Maine. Lives in Texas. Writes songs. Makes records. Travels around.
Tries to be good.” Slaid Cleaves writes superbly crafted songs. His
keenly-focused vocals do justice to their intriguing stories, oft-drawn
from real life. He’s no self-absorbed navel-gazer: Cleaves’ songs adopt
various personae & perspectives, drawn from astute observation of real
people. In one, he’s a famous former jockey, haunted by a colleague’s
awful death sixty years earlier, but still delighting in the memory of
“sailing by, eight feet high, on horses quick as dreams”. “Below”
paints a vivid picture of a the "ghosts" of a drowned town.
“Wishbones” is Cleaves' 3rd CD: more muscular in sound than its
predecessors, but no less intimate. It's well-served by producer Gurf
Morlix.
Wed.: Bagad Kemper just might be the loudest traditional band in the
world! Kemper is the town in Brittany where they are based and a bagad
(Buh-GAHD) is a uniquely Breton musical group consisting of bombardes
(a double reed woodwind with a piercing sound) and Scottish Highland
Pipes and drums (with a no less piercing sound but only adopted by
Bretons after WWII). What sets most Bagadou apart is their creativity
in choosing repertoire. On Bagad Kemper’s new album, “Sud-Ar Su” (The
South), they play Brazilian, Galician and Jazz in addition to Breton
tunes, their 52 members augmented by 10 players of other instruments,
including young Galician bagpipe wizard Susana Seivane. Tune in to find
out why this group won the national championships 18 times!
Thu.: “Moon Water” is not your average “jazz trio” date. Danish
pianist Carsten Dahl, Norwegian double bassist Arild Anderson & French
drummer/percussionist Patrice Heral are great players in “jazz” terms.
But “jazz” terms are not their only terms. Their musical sensibility is
definitely “European”, not “wannabe American”. Their original music is
conversational, often very “open”, sometimes highly improvisatory. Yet
it’s always well-proportioned; even the more “free” moments are neither
muscle-bound nor cacophonous. You could literally sing along with some
of this music, whilst some is rather more mysterious & surprising. A
deal is exquisitely beautiful. Each player has a very sensitive touch
on his particular instrument.
Fri.: Waterson:Carthy are a group that is uncommonly strong in the
vocal department – Martin Carthy, Norma Waterson and their daughter
Eliza Carthy each with a unique voice of their own. Their new CD,
“Fishes and Fine Yellow Sand”, is mostly a collection of traditional
songs based on hard luck stories sung by these three plus melodeon
player Tim Van Eyken. It’s an extraordinarily good record from this
group at the height of their powers. And how many quartets have two
MBEs and three multi-BBC Folk Awards winners in their ranks?
