(RA or ABC News every hour on the hour)
Weekdays
0010 -
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "A World of Pain". One in
two elderly Australians live with it every day. There are strong
medications we can use to help control it - but they are frightening
and underused because even our GPs associate them with drug diversion,
addiction, junkies and crime. It's a huge political and economic issue.
[T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history with Claudia Taranto. This week:
"Eureka 1854-2004--Reappraising an Australian Legend". As the nation
commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Eureka Stockade, we feature
some new and challenging interpretations of the events on the Ballarat
goldfields in 1854. [%]
0110 -
ASIA PACIFIC* (refer to 2310) [T;%]
0130 -
Wed.: RELIGION REPORT - with Stephen Crittendon. This week:
"International Dialogue on Interfaith Co-operation". The joint
initiative of the Australian and Indonesian foreign ministers, this
week's International Dialogue on Interfaith Co-operation in Jogjakarata
brought together 124 religious leaders and community representatives
from the South East Asian region. In response to Alexander Downer's
call for religious leaders to denounce terrorism from their pulpits,
the leader of one of Indonesia's largest Muslim organisations accused
Australia of backing "state sponsored" US terrorism in Iraq. How
successful has this venture been? And what role does the state have in
hosting interreligious dialogue anyway? [T;%]
Thu.: MEDIA REPORT - with Mick O'Regan. This week: "Did the Truth
Matter in 2004?". Do you rely on the media to tell you the truth?
Should you? In 2004 did the information that matters reach you through
your morning paper or evening TV news, or have you given up on the
mainstream for something a little closer to real life. [T;%]

Julie McCrossin lowers the final curtain on the trio of themed weeks on
the life cycle with a week about endings. [%]

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 #10:
"The Local and the Global in Australian Culture". Today's Australians
express their culture through literature and film, often highlighting
what makes their country different from others. However the costs of
maintaining local cinema and publishing industries in a small market
means local books and movies have to go global to pay their way. [%;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 -
Wed.-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.
Tim writes, "This week is my chanukah/christmas present to you.... what
could I get you? What would show that I thought about you, and at the
same time meet a need that has been expressed to me regarding tips for
gifts to your loved one? Easy... this week is the perfect present from
me to you and the perfect idea for a gift from you to yours." [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;%]
Wed.: Takashi Matsunaga is a 17-year-old Kobe-born pianist with an
amazingly mature sense of composition, prodigious technique and an
approach reminiscent of Michel Petrucciani. On his debut international
release, ‘Storm Zone’, he’s joined by drummer Junji Hirose and bassist
Daiki Yasukagawa for a lively and brash Japanese flavoured take on
piano trio jazz. We’ll also hear a couple of tracks from even more
powerful pianist Hiromi Uehara, a solo tour de force and a trio piece
featuring electric bassist Anthony Jackson from her album ‘Another
Mind’.
Thu.: A singing policeman! A former policeman, actually. At 58 &
formerly a total stranger to recording studios, Sean Doyle has a
quietly brilliant debut album, thanks to the persistence of one of
Ireland’s greatest players of guitars & bouzoukis – his son, John Doyle
{once of Solas, & a \more than fair singer, himself}. “John browbeat me
into it” says Sean, who had previously sung only unaccompanied, for
pleasure, sometimes in pubs & at fleadhs. His son produced “The Light
and the Half-Light” & is one of several superb accompanists. “Dad’s
music is serious drama” says John. “Apparently, I sing in the strangest
keys”, laughs Sean. This CD's first thirty seconds reveal that his
son’s zeal was not just the product of filial devotion: his father's is
a singular, very beautiful disc.
Fri.: Given their shared histories and shared love of acoustic
experimentation, it’s a wonder that Peter Rowan and Tony Rice have
never recorded an album before. “You Were There For Me” features
Peter’s engaging vocals and songs about ambitious subjects – Iraqi
brothers fleeing a war zone, love that spans multiple lifetimes and the
search for lost liberty. Tony Rice contributes his ‘clear as a bell’
guitar parts and an all acoustic band sometimes including Bob Dylan’s
long time bassist Tony Garnier bring these songs to life.
