0205
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

directors. Young people order what they want, and get it free, as Stan
Correy reports. [T;%]

BOOKS AND WRITING - in-depth discussions focusing on books, ideas and
writing with Ramona Koval. This week: "Edinburgh 2004 - Alexander
McCall Smith + Dame Muriel Spark + Robyn Rowland". This week an
hysterical tale from the pen of Scottish author Alexander McCall Smith,
who (wisely or unwisely) accepted the invitation to write a serialised
novel for The Scotsman newspaper. It was only after he'd accepted the
task that the newspaper told him that the instalments would be daily,
not weekly ... a cautionary tale, perhaps, for overly-confident
writers. The result however, was a novel called 44 Scotland Street and
we hear an excerpt from this tale of Edinburgh's more Bohemian side.
[T;%]

latest developments in publishing with Amanda Smith. This week: "In

Sherry’s biography (27 years after he started work on volume one),
Norman Sherry gave the Cheltenham Lecture at last month’s Cheltenham
Festival of Literature. [%]
0505
AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - a magazine about life in Australia, hosted by
Roger Broadbent. This week, Roger writes, "This week the Australian
Express takes you to the country where the emphasis is on music. We
begin by meeting country music star Lee Kernaghan whose latest album,
‘The Best of…..’ is just about to hit the record stores. It follows his
top selling album ‘Electric Rodeo’ which was also awarded this year’s
Album of the Year Golden Guitar at the annual Tamworth music festival.
Lee has been part of
Australia’s country music scene for a decade and is now considered it’s
top male performer. But it hasn’t all been plain sailing. Early in his
career he considered giving it all away. Fortunately he didn’t! And we
remain in the country for a report about a most unusual musical
instrument - a length of fencing wire. Yes some enterprising souls, one
of them calls himself a ‘noise artist’, are harnessing the wind and
other natural elements to produce … well, noise …, which they call
music. Literally from the sublime to the ridiculous. What else do you
expect from Roger Broadbent and his Australian Express?"
0532
ALL IN THE MIND - a weekly foray into the mental universe, the mind,
brain and behaviour with Lynne Malcolm. This week: "Grey Power and
Brain Matter". Can our brains age gracefully in the 21st century? We
hear from Pennsylvania State University's Professor K. Warner Schaie,
leader of the world famous Seattle Longitudinal Study, considered to be
one of the most extensive psychological studies into aging in world
history. It's even been instrumental in lifting the retirement age in
the United States! After half a century's work, Professor Shaie has
discovered many secrets to maintaining mental strength in old age, and
they may surprise you. [%]

1505
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]

AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS (refer to 0505)
1605
HINDSIGHT - social history. This week: "Port Arthur". We trace Port
Arthur's history from a prison to working village, to a premier tourist

steady stream of tourist buses amid the nation's
most tantalising ruins. [%]
1655
PERSPECTIVE - informed commentary.
1705
THE SPIRIT OF THINGS - religion and spirituality. This week: "Sufism".
No branch of Islam is more focused on the practice of "remembering" God
than Sufism. It’s believed that the peaceful heart is one in which the
remembrance of God becomes second nature. Art Buehler is an expert on
Sufism and he explains the Sufi way of beauty and peace. Ben Zion Weiss
and friends demonstrate the songs and music of the Dances of Universal
Peace, an international network of groups who dance and sing the songs
of the traditions of the world. [T;%]

Building". By the 1980s, Bilbao was a post-industrial wreck with
unemployment at twenty five percent, yet in the 19th century it had
supplied two thirds of Britain's iron ore. In an enormous leap of
faith, the city
commissioned Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum, fuelling a tourist
industry that's inspired imitators around the world. The second in our
series on port cities. [%]
2330
INNOVATIONS* - Showcasing Australian invention, enterprise and

SUNDAY PROFILE - In-depth analysis of the major news in Australia and
around the world with Geraldine Doogue. [www.abc.net.au/sundayprofile/]
for details. This week: " Francis Fukuyama" is the American
neo-conservative who famously declared he could no longer vote for Bush
because of his adventurism in Iraq. His fellow Americans did not, in
the main, agree with him. Fukuyama dissects why the Democrats lost the
election and also looks at the phenomenon of state-building. The
Americans have had a lot of experience at it - ever since they went
into Germany and Japan post World War 2. But it seems that each time
they have to re-invent the wheel - the best ways to intervene in a
country to encourage democracy get forgotten. Fukuyama discusses with
Geraldine Doogue what the US should be doing in Iraq and Afghanistan to
foster democracy. [%]
