Weekdays
0010 -
Tue.: THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "Save The
Whales". There are 800 whale strandings each year in the UK alone.
Richard Sabin is part of the team at the Natural History Museum in
London that has studied strandings worldwide since 1913. He is
particularly worried about shipping noise and giant nets. [%]
Wed.: THE NATIONAL INTEREST - Terry Lane looks at the major issues of
the week. This week: "The Art of Political Pursuasion". Lane is joined
by Sally Young, founder of the Political Advertising Archive, a
collection of political advertisements and campaign materials dating
back to 1843. Dr Young has been investigating the increasingly
sophisticated techniques that politicians use to win our hearts and
minds. She warns that political advertising could threaten the quality
of Australia's democratic system. [%]
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Violence at Home". A
stronger political emphasis on domestic violence and more proactive
policing is throwing up more cases of abuse in the middle classes. But
getting help or getting out safely remains difficult for women. Stephen
Skinner reports. [T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history. This week: "Unpromised Land". In
1942 a plan was afoot to put Israel in southwest Tasmania. It ended
tragically. Critchley Parker Jnr, whose dream it was, died in his tent.

"Jewel of the Commonwealth". [%]

Disease".
We hear the personal stories of three people who have been struck down
with the incurable illness, motor neurone disease. Living with such a
terrible condition is a huge challenge, not just for those with it, but
for their families as well. As they share their stories, a small window

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.: “Nysch” is the fourth CD from Swedish Trio Bazar Blå. The
adjective refers to the colour of a cloudless sky. The group’s
self-described TransGlobal TripFolk is a very beguiling, hugely
diverse, highly original hybrid which draws on Swedish & other
folk/roots musics & many other things. Björn Meyer – who plays
6-stringed acoustic & electric bass guitars - says “nobody found a box
for us that fits, so we made our own”. His colleagues are
multi-percussionist Fredrik Gille & Johan Hedin, who’s likely the
greatest living exponent of the key-fiddle known as nyckelharpa. The CD
title - “Nysch” - abbreviates “Den Nya Schottisen”: “The new Schottis”.
Tue.: Glauco Sagebin is a brilliant pianist. He’s actually a veteran,
but hardly known outside Brazil. “When Baden Meets Trane” will surely
change that: an exceptional trio album with simpatico, virtuoso
compatriots in acoustic bassist Santi Debriano & drummer Paulo Braga.
Definitely Brazilian, but not “typically” so, the CD’s a mix of the
leader’s originals & remarkably fresh treatments of favourite Brazilian
& North American pieces. The ingenious title-piece evokes an entirely
imaginary meeting between a Brazilian acoustic guitar genius & a hugely
influential North American jazz saxophonist. Wed.: From the age of 5,
when she first picked up violin, through summer fiddle camps to joining
the Darol Anger Fiddle Ensemble at the age of 14, Brittany Haas has
shown an extraordinary affinity for old-time fiddling. Great-great
granddaughter of a Missouri fiddler, this California native recorded
her amazingly mature self-titled album debut at the age of 17. Darol
Anger produced and played on the album, joined by Bruce Molsky, Scott
Nygaard and Brittany’s cello playing big sister, Natalie Haas. It’s a
fine selection of Brittany’s favourite fiddle tunes, lovingly played
and artfully arranged. Thu.: Russian-born songster Zulya has lived in
Australia since 1991. Her first languages were Tatar & Russian.
Literally & musically, she’s multi-lingual. Zulya sings only in Russian
on her new CD “The Waltz of Emptiness (and other songs on Russian
themes)” but its music is richly diverse & beautifully sung & played.
Her band – “The Children of the Underground” - features bassist Andrew
Tanner, guitarist Lucas Michailidis accordionist Anthony Schulz &
percussionist Justin Marshall. Assorted guests appear, as do sounds
recorded in the Moscow Underground during a recent, prolonged stay in
the Russian capital. Like Russia, this album is instantly alluring, but
also complex, mysterious & at times, dark.
Fri.: The stringband music of Papua New Guinea is a musical delight
on our doorstep and George Telek is the music’s foremost exponent. His
new album “Amette” (his third international release), produced by Not
Drowning Waving’s David Bridie, focuses on the acoustic side of his
music. He performs pieces in various stringband styles – all of them
characterised by high strumming guitars, percussion and sweet three
part harmonies. Also included are two vital tracks from his 1986
recordings with the Moab String Band.

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

Thu.: THE BUZZ - technology understandably explained with Richard
Aedy. This week: "Thwarting the Forgers". Counterfeiting is a booming

criminals to make better copies. There is no way of tracing forgeries

change. [%]
