interested in the subject, about what science has meant to their lives. 
This week: "Stephen Oppenheimer" is a paediatrician who traces human

with Jackie May. This week: "Collectors and Protectors". Tropical 
rainforests are dwindling quickly, but in Far North Queensland a 
committed group of individuals are working hard to grow and protect a 
range of exquisite plants and exotic fruits that are threatened in 
their natural habitat. [T]
	Wed.: RURAL REPORTER - the people and places that make up country 
Australia.
	Thu.: AUSTRALIA NOW* - a 13-part series looking at the jobs 
Australians do, the homes they live in and the way they spend their 
leisure. The series also examines the environment that supports 
Australians, the political structures that govern them and the way they 
get along with each other and their regional neighbours. "Program #2: 
The View From The Grandstand". The Opening and Closing Ceremonies of 
the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney are rich grounds for cultural 
interpretation. The cultural representations included in these 
ceremonies present a potted history of European settlement in Australia 
and also paid homage to newer arrivals to the country and to the 
Indigenous people who’s history goes back some forty to sixty thousand 
years. The choice of Aboriginal athlete, Cathy Freeman, to light the 
Olympic cauldron sent out a message about reconciliation between 
non-Indigenous and Indigenous Australians and represented something of 
a sea change since the 1988 Bicentenary that commemorated two hundred 
years of European settlement and attracted Aboriginal protests. [%;T]
	Fri.: THE CHAT ROOM* - presented by Heather Jarvis. The place to meet 
people from the region living lives a little out of the ordinary.

1205 -
	Mon.-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. 
[T;%]

1305 -
	THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans (Doug Spencer on Mondays) 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;%]
		Mon.: Patricia Barber is playful, keenly intelligent, an erudite, 
wry, astringent lyricist and a compelling singer of her own and others’ 
words. A superb pianist too, she leads an excellent, highly interactive 
quartet. The Chicago-based Barber also has a particular affinity with 
France. Combine those elements with top quality sound and you have her 
exceptionally fine new CD, Live: A Fortnight in France. Highlights 
include her own 'White World' (which catapults Ovid’s Oedipus into the 
21st century) and a 'Norwegian Wood' which freshly addresses the 
Beatles’ lyric, then launches into a remarkable, exploratory, four-way 
instrumental conversation.
		Tue.: A Marseille-based quartet of young West Africans, Ba Cissoko is 
delighting audiences back 'home' and in Europe. Their debut CD Sabolan 
is truly novel, but firmly rooted in venerable ancestral traditions, 
very funky, yet has a certain grandeur. Generally prominent are two 
koras: one 'unplugged' and recognisably a harp/lute, the other in the 
hands of a player the French have already nicknamed 'Jimi Hendrix 
Africain.' Inevitably, some are calling Ba Cissoko 'the new Mory 
Kante'. Our co-featured new CD is from the first African to have had a 
million-selling single in Europe. Mory Kante’s Sabou, is almost 
entirely 'unplugged', with no keyboards or 'programming'. His voice and 
African instruments take centre-stage.
		Wed.: Over two consecutive afternoons in 1992, Riley Lee recorded six 
hours of music – the original solo shakuhachi pieces of the ‘Zen 
Priests of Nothingness’ that he learned by heart in his many years of 
study on his road to becoming the first non-Japanese grandmaster of the 
instrument. Recorded in Sydney’s National Acoustics Laboratory, every 
nuance of his playing of this breathy bamboo flute is evident. The CDs 
from the sessions have been released over the years, and today we bring 
you the last of the series – Searching – Yearning For The Bell, Vol. 7.
		Thu.: Marc Copland is one of the most consistently rewarding 
improvising pianists. He's profoundly lyrical, with an exquisite touch, 
but always probing. Marc's much newer to his instrument than you’d 
suspect: as an adult, professional saxophonist, he forsook the sax, 
then 'disappeared' for nearly a decade before re-emerging as a pianist. 
Greg Osby is one of the most individual, least predictable alto 
saxophonists. Like Marc, he enjoys working with various and varied 
colleagues. Night Call is Marc and Greg’s second album as a duo. Rarely 
are a spirit of adventure and sheer beauty simultaneously embraced to 
such sublime effect.
		Fri.: Taking their name from the nom de guerre of 18th century 
Acadian freedom fighter Joseph Broussard, 'Beausoleil' (Beautiful 
Sunshine) have been pleasing dancers and listeners in and out of 
Louisiana since they formed in 1975.  No other band plays so many 
different cajun styles so comfortably and moves so easily between 
electric and acoustic modes.  Their new album, 'Gitane Cajun' (Cajun 
Gypsy) is their first studio album since 1999.  With Cindy Cashdollar 
guesting on various slide guitars, its a romp through the history of 
Cajun music led by their good natured fiddler/leader Michael Doucet.

	Mon.: THE EUROPEANS - broader historical and cultural perspectives on 
European societies with Keri Phillips. This week: "The Years of Lead"-- 
Part 1. Piazza Fontana in 1969, Brescia in 1974, a bomb at Bologna 
railway station in 1980, the kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro in 
1978. Between 1969 and 1987, Italians were caught in a turmoil of 
political terror they call 'The Years of Lead'. During these years, 
there were nearly fourteen thousand incidents of political violence, 
and nearly 500 deaths. Organisations like the Red Brigades and Primo 
Linea on the left, and Ordine Nuovo and Avanguardia Nazionale on the 
right, sought a radical transformation of Italian life and politics. 
Revolution was a mantra throughout the west in the late 1960s, but only 
in a few places did these ideas spill over into violence. And only in 
Italy was this violence so organised and so long-sustained. So what 
made Italy different? How can we understand the motivations of Italian 
militants of that era, and what was it like to live through it? And in 
the paranoia of Cold War politics, what part did the Italian state play 
in perpetuating these events? [%]

	Thu.: THE BUZZ - technology understandably explained with Richard 
Aedy. This week: "Today's the Day". The election means the Electoral 
Commission is having a busy day, not least when it comes to its 
website. In 2001, the commission's Virtual Tally Room was heavily 
visited and tonight it's certain to come under sustained pressure. 
"Rockpool Dishwasher". Imagine a dishwasher that didn't use water or 
detergent. That's exactly what a group of industrial design students 
have come up with - their version uses supercritical carbon dioxide. 
"Signs and Symbols". There are numerous signs on pavements and roads 
that most of us never see. They're not invisible, we're just not 
trained to read them. [%]
	Fri.: HIT MIX* - presented by Brendon Telfer. Find out what we're 
listening to in Australia and what we're giving to the world in our 
brand new look at the Australian music scene. [T;%]
