Broadbent. It could be said that this week’s programme is really on the
nose as science harnesses the power of the Internet to capture the
imagination of young people. A Smellologist explains how and why he’s
going to post smells on the web. This is definitely the era of the
Superchef. Names like Paul Bocuse, Gordon Ramsey and even our very own
Neil Perry come immediately to mind. But what is it that makes a Chef
Super and why is it that Australia, with its rich culinary landscape,
doesn’t have more of them? The Creative Director of the Melbourne Food
and Wine Festival provides a feast of answers. And as some of
Australia’s major rivers struggle to survive a group of South

a message to our politicians to clean up their act.

David Chalmers join Natasha Mitchell to debate one of the greatest
mysteries of science - the nature of human consciousness. Will science
ever be able to explain that uncanny feeling from the inside of being

about robots - are they about to? [%]

part is by cabbage boy and the second from the ninja tunes stable,
strictly kev. There are many unusual pieces put together in an
adventurous way. Cabbage boy [si begg in the real world] has a musical
mind that seeks fun and difference... I'm sure you'll get something out
of his set [although a language warning is noted]. And strictly kev
does not fail in his task of rounding out the hour with a typically
diverse approach to the concept of a DJ set. These two sets come to
radio national via the ebu's eurosonic network." [T;%]
