(RA or ABC News every hour on the hour)
Weekdays
0005 -
Mon.: AWAYE! - produced and presented by Aboriginal broadcasters and
is Australia's only national Indigenous arts and culture program. This
week: "Thomas King--A million Porcupines Crying in the Dark."
Distinguished Cherokee writer Thomas King talks about the link between
education, literacy and native health, especially mental health. [%]
Tue.: THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "The New
Science of Networks". Q: What do Hollywood actor Kevin Bacon, a North
American firefly, Al Qaeda and the World Wide Web all have in common?
A: Each of them organise themselves in a network. Annamaria Talas wrote
and produced this Science Show special on the new science of networks;
the connectedness of nearly everything, which began with Duncan Watts,
an Australian PhD student from Cornell University, and is set to change
our understanding of the world. [%]
Wed.: THE NATIONAL INTEREST - Terry Lane looks at the major issues of
the week. This week: "Postcodes and Poverty". A report for Jesuit
Social Services shows that your chances in life may depend on your
postcode. A survey of NSW and Victoria revealed that poverty and
disadvantage are entrenched in particular regions. "Welfare Habits".
The number of Australians who rely on social security payments has
risen sharply over the past four decades, prompting the claim that we
have become hooked on welfare. The United States is held up as the role
model for how to kick the habit. "Super Strawberries". Queensland
researchers have done for the strawberry what the Pink Lady did for the
apple - producing fruit that not only looks good but tastes good too -
without using genetically modified organisms. Four new varieties have
been created: rubygem, brighteyes, harmony and sugar baby. [%]
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Need for Speed". Ever
get the feeling, just like the White Rabbit, that you’re running behind
schedule? Don’t have a moment, even for a cup of tea? You’re not alone.
Life today is stamped with a mantra of constant movement, dictating
that faster is always better. We’re slaves to the clock, and the need
for speed has ingrained itself in virtually every aspect of our lives.
[T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history with Claudia Taranto. This week:
"Bill Stanner". Anthropologist W E H (Bill) Stanner's (1905-1981)
remarkable life and contribution to our understanding of Aboriginal
life and culture is recalled by family, colleagues and friends. [%]
0055 -
Fri.: HIT MIX HIGHLIGHTS - chart successes from 2004.
0105 -
ASIA PACIFIC (refer to 2305)
0130 -
Mon.: HEALTH REPORT - with Dr. Norman Swan. This week: "The End Of
Stress As We Know It". Stress is a term that is often over-used and
misunderstood. Professor Bruce McEwen of Rockefeller University in New
York City, an expert on the topic, has written a book called The End of
Stress As We Know It. He claims that once people have read it, they
will not think of stress in the same way as before. The book, whose
co-author is Elizabeth Norton Lasley, deals with the biology and
psychology of stress. In this program Professor McEwen talks about his
work and ideas on stress. [T; %]
Tue.: LAW REPORT - with Damien Carrick. This week: "Court Artists". We
visit the studio of court illustrator Glenda Brigham and find out why
accurate drawings of the accused are allowed on our TV screens and in
our papers - but not photos. She shows us her work and describes some
of the strange scenes she encounters in the courtroom [T;%]
Wed.: RELIGION REPORT - with Stephen Crittendon. This week:
"Reformation--Europe's House Divided." An interview with Diarmaid
MacCulloch, author of a multi-award-winning biography of 'Thomas
Cranmer, A Life', who was Archbishop of Canterbury under King Henry
VIII. Now he's written an equally distinguished history of the
Reformation, or as he says. [T;%]
Thu.: MEDIA REPORT - with Mick O'Regan. This week: "Serving Up The
Hacks".
We follow one man's obsession with finding examples of the worst kinds
of political journalism. [T;%]
Fri.: SPORTS FACTOR - debating and celebrating the cultural
significance of sport. This week: "Howzat Ma Man!" We take at look at
two of the our most popular programs according to voters in the Sports
Factor Favourites Poll. The story of how cricket is helping fight
violence on the streets of Compton and the life story of American Civil
Rights activist, Richard Lapchick. [T;%]
0205 -
THE BOYER LECTURES - "A Tale of Two Hemispheres". In its formative
years, Australia was portrayed as a place disconnected from God. People
were sent here as a punishment. Even our flora and fauna were seen as
mistakes of nature. Recently, in his adopted city of London, Australian
writer and academic Peter Conrad saw a poster reminding Londoners that
Australians now enjoy a very attractive life style. Our country is now
an object of desire rather than dread and the image of Australia is
more in danger of being exploited for commercial gain than disparaged.
In his six Boyer Lectures, Peter Conrad charts this transformation,
impressively referencing literature, historical texts and artistic
works from several fields. Over the six lectures, he notes how
Australian artists have asserted cultural independence from the north
and reflects on the evolution of our unique modern multi-culture. He
explores Australia's changing view of "up over" and especially our
relationships with Britain and America. He concludes with a look at how
Australia's image is being absorbed in globalised marketing while young
Australians confidently make an impact on the world stage.

and psyche, but rarely discussed openly. Natasha Mitchell speaks to the
leading international researchers spearheading research into the

neuroscience for why it quite literally 'hurts' to be left out; when
families exclude one of their own; and the simple power of a 'social
snack' to stave off social isolation. [T;%]

arguably the most convergent device - but we probably haven't seen
anything yet. The phone will offer us the ability to track our friends
or children; provide bullet-proof ID; act as a credit card; download
films and books; even replace our front door keys. "Swarm Phone" -
Young people like their mobiles, so much so that they're never without
them. Many don't turn them off under any circumstances because to do so
would put them out of the loop. "I'm on the train..." -Overheard
mobile phone calls are annoying. Sometimes they're too loud, sometimes
the caller's using the mobile to show off, sometimes they're pointless
and sometimes they're just irritating. [T;%]
