Weekdays

0010 -
Tue.: THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: “Silent Witness". We meet Tony Brown, a forensic botanist. He uses his knowledge of plants to catch murderers. One of the most spectacular cases was his exposure of the reburials at Srebrenica, Bosnia where 7,000 men had been massacred. [%]
Wed.: THE NATIONAL INTEREST - Terry Lane looks at the major issues of the week. This week: "US Election; Potholes on the Third Way". First, Lane will be joined by political scientist Professor Iva Deutchman to talk about the US Presidential election. Then Dr Paul Skidmore from the British think-tank Demos will discuss the problems caused to Prime Minister Tony Blair by the war in Iraq, and what this means for the politics of the Third Way in Britain.[%]
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Music of the Blogospheres". There's yet another paradigm shift in the new technologies: it's called 'Podcasting', and cuts out advertisers, commercial DJs, and program directors. Young people order what they want, and get it free, as Stan Correy reports. [T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history. This week: "Port Arthur". We trace Port Arthur's history from a prison to working village, to a premier tourist attraction and heritage icon, where ghosts jostle for space with a steady stream of tourist buses amid the nation's
most tantalising ruins. [%]

Tue.: LAW REPORT - with Damien Carrick. This week: "Prison Economies". Just how valuable an asset can a prison be to regional communities? As more prisons are being built away from major cities there’s ongoing debate about who benefits. Is it just prisoners who are closer to their families, or do struggling towns get a financial leg up on the back of what some are seeing as a new industry? [T;%]

Mon.: INNOVATIONS* - Showcasing Australian invention, enterprise and ingenuity. [abc.net.au/ra/innovations/default.htm] for details.

[T;%]
Tue.: EARTHBEAT - environmental issues raised by economic development with Jackie May. This week: "Expanding the Conservation Estate on Private Land".

We examine how America's premier private conservation body is working with our leading NGO's to help get the job done here. [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 #5: Suburbia". Most Australians think of 'the bush' as the heart of the country, but the vast majority of people live in the suburbs surrounding the major cities. This episode examines the quirky Australian dream of owning a home in order to spend as much time as possible living outdoors. [%;T]

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.: 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.: David Liebman is passionate, compassionate, feisty, highly intelligent, adventurous and romantic. You don't need to meet him or read anything to discover that: his music tells you! One of the saxophone’s living treasures – most especially the soprano sax {look right and you’ll see Dave with his 'straight' horn) is also a leading music educator and keen thinker. A worldly, well-traveled New Yorker, he reaches far beyond both America and most people’s definitions of jazz. We celebrate his visit to Australia (see below for details) via several recent recordings, most especially Gathering of Spirits – a saxophone summit with Michael Brecker and Joe Lovano.
Wed.: In 1975, English folk pioneer Peter Bellamy began writing a folk ballad opera based on the lives of first fleet convicts Henry Cabell and Susannah Holmes. ‘The Transports’ was recorded in 1977 with a stellar cast of English folkdom and has been performed on stage many times since. When the record company that first put it out re-emerged from dormancy into the CD era, they released the original record, accompanied by a lavish 130 page book and a second CD of entirely new recordings of The Transports including Steve Tilston, Coope Boyes & Simpson and members of Fairport Convention.
Thu.: Fiddler Magazine believes Darol Anger has been on 'the front edge of progressive acoustic music' more often than any other fiddler. Republic of Strings is the debut CD by the San Franciscan's latest group. The American Fiddle Ensemble has some notable guests, but at core is a quartet. Brittany Haas is its young, second fiddler, Rushad Eggleston its 'maverick' cellist and Scott Nygaard the spectacularly deft flat-picking acoustic guitarist. Included are original instrumentals by Anger, tunes from African, Brazilian, North American and Irish sources and songs authored by Joni Mitchell and Stevie Wonder.
Fri.: Israel ‘Cachao’ Lopez pioneered the Cuban jam session or ‘descarga’ in the '50s and was one of the architects of the mambo in the 1930s. A prodigious double bassist (Jaco Pastorius called Cachao "the greatest"), he is also a prolific composer. Cachao and his brother Orestes wrote over 3,000 ‘danzones’ alone. Born in Cuba in 1918 and based in the USA since 1963, ‘Ahora Si!’ ('Now Yes!') finds him still at the top of his form, leading a fine crew of Latin Jazz musicians through changuis, rumbas and, of course, mambos and descargas.
