Weekdays
0005 -
Mon.: AWAYE! - produced and presented by Aboriginal broadcasters and is
Australia's only national Indigenous arts and culture program. This
week: "Return to Manga Manda". It's a journey that took 60 years. In
1946, about sixteen children were forcibly taken from Manga Manda in
the Northern Territory. The eleven survivors of that group - now old
people - take us on their emotional trip home, to put to rest the past
and reaffirm their connection to their Aboriginal families and country.
[%]
Tue.: THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "The Truckie
and the Professor". Two scientifically-minded Australians star in this
week's Australia Day program - two Marks. Mark Prescott, truck driver,
was celebrating Boxing Day with his mates next to a swimming hole not
far from Darwin. The water suddenly plunged downwards. A few minutes
later, it came up again. What on earth was happening? Mark set off to
investigate. Could it have been a sign of the Indian Ocean quake?
Mark Feldmann, on the other hand, has as many scientific qualifications
as one can manage, short of a Nobel: the Lasker and Crafoord Prizes
for showing the chemical basis of arthritis and how it may be treated.
The discovery has led to a generation of remarkable
drugs. [%]
Wed.: THE NATIONAL INTEREST - Terry Lane looks at the major issues of
the week. This week: "WA Election; Water from the Kimberleys". Lane
looks at the state election campaign underway in WA. Will the elevation
of favourite son Kim Beazley to federal opposition leader help Labor
Premier Geoff Gallop win a second term in office. Also, the long held
dream of supplying Perth with water from Kimberleys, 2000km to the
north. Is it any more feasible than towing an iceberg from the
Antarctic? And an expatatraite Iraqi reflects on Sunday's election in
Iraq. [T;%]
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Nanotechnology--Nature's
Toy Box". Nanotechnology is beginning to change everything. It's
converging with biology, IT and the cognitive sciences to change whole
economies from jobs to health care. It's already happening and the
science is way ahead of public understanding. [T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history with Claudia Taranto. This week:
“Torn Curtain” with Tom Morton. Program 1 of 4: The Nuclear War We
Nearly Had in 1983. Tom Morton presents a secret history of the cold
war drawing on new insights from historians looking
at the archives of the former Soviet bloc, recently declassified
documents and first-hand accounts of former spies, intelligence
officials, politicians and diplomats. In episode one, we hear how in
1983 deeply paranoid Soviet politicians and military leaders believed
the US was preparing a pre-emptive nuclear strike and argued that the
Soviets should prepare to strike first if necessary. [%]

ASIA PACIFIC (refer to 2305)

Mon.: HEALTH REPORT - with Dr. Norman Swan. This week: "Mental
Illness and
Pregnancy". Researchers in Western Australia followed women with mental
illnesses through pregnancy and compared them to pregnant women without
mental illness to see what happens during pregnancy and how that may
influence the chances of their children developing schizophrenia. [T;%]

is a universal good... don't worry I'm not an evangelist for any cause
or pursuit... but this week we'll hear tracks from one artist, from one
cd, from lemon jelly - their new album is called '64-'95.". [T;%]
1305 -
THE PLANET - jazz, blues, folk styles, art music and more in a show
artfully arranged for radio. [T;%]
Mon.: 2005’s first all-new edition highlights a trio which looks
“highly unlikely”, but sounds delightful. Steinar Ofsdal is one of
Norway’s most celebrated and most eclectic players of many kinds of
flutes. Singer-guitarist Becaye Aw comes from Mauretania in West
Africa. Kouame Sereba comes from The Ivory Coast (where he’s a pop
star, in another context), but has lived in Norway for around fifteen
years. He’s a singer, percussionist & master of the mouth-bow known as
dodo. The three friends have been an occasional trio for a decade but
only in 2004 did they get around to making "Kake". The musicians’
mutual ease is palpable on their debut CD. There are some surprising
affinities between Nordic & West African musical traditions!
Tue.: Martin Carthy is likely the most influential living English
“folk/roots” singer-guitarist. As Bob Dylan & Paul Simon can both
attest, Carthy's influence has been strong on both sides of the
Atlantic. At sixty-four, his guitar playing is more awesome than ever.
Age may be taking some toll on his vocal chords, but his song-sense is
so acute that his singing is more eloquent than ever. “Waiting for
Angels” concludes with a splendid new treatment of his signature-epic,
“Famous Flower of Serving Men”. Along the way are songs & tunes new &
old, including an instrumental which Martin Carthy M.B.E. wrote to
honour the memory of fellow anti-imperialist & musical giant, Hamish
Henderson.
Wed.: Born in Perth and based in Melbourne, Jamie Oehlers won the
White Foundation World Saxophone Competition at the Montreux Jazz
Festival in 2003. His 2004 CD, ‘The Assemblers’, revealed Jamie as a
fully realised, unique voice in his compositions and playing. Sam
Keevers was the pianist on that album and he and Jamie explore their
close musical bonds on their new duo album “Grace”, a quiet and deep
journey into the great tradition of piano and sax duos. Jamie may be
known for his post-Coltrane thunder and Sam for his powerful Latin
playing, but “Grace” shows the gentler side of these two fine musicians.
Thu.: Palestinian, Adel Salemeh is an adventurous, self-taught
virtuoso of the oud – the fretless, Arabic lute. With the Algerian-born
singer Naziha Azzouz – to whom he is wed – he’s shortly to visit
Australia. His new ensemble album “Hafla” also involves luscious
clarinet, violin & hand-percussion.
Fri.: “Lonely Runs Both Ways” is the first new studio album from
Alison Krauss and Union Station in three years. As a vocalist and
fiddler, Alison is flawless (she’s been a recording artist from the age
of 14) and the band has defied convention by being commercially
successful while straddling country music and bluegrass. Dan Tyminski
(one of the voices from “Brother, Where Art Thou”) contributes a great
vocal on Woody Guthrie’s "Pastures of Plenty" and Jerry Douglas
continues to be in a league above any other dobro player on Earth.
