[EDITOR'S NOTE: Some programming may be preempted by cricket coverage.]
(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.
[abc.net.au/rn/awaye/] for details. [%]
Tue.: THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "Science and
Show Business - Part 1: Science and Credulity". Jane Goodall looks at
the history of tension between science and show business, the
contradiction between promoting the sceptical attitude and a respect
for evidence, while accepting the magic of show business and
conjuring. Program 1 of this three part series looks at how scientific
principles have been promoted over time and how this compares to the
rise of magic and razzle dazzle in side shows, circuses and Broadway
shows, even TV shows like The X-Files. So when do we stop believing
and when do we start again? How do we balance scepticism and
credulity? Is science under threat in the contest between the rational
and the paranormal in programs like The X-Files? [%]
Wed.: THE NATIONAL INTEREST - Terry Lane looks at the major issues of
the week. This week: "Trashing the VCR". Lane alerts us to a court case
in the United States that could fundamentally reshape our use of
technology. In 1984 Hollywood tried to have video recorders banned
because they could be used to copy TV shows. The case failed because
the court argued that video recorders had other uses that did not
infringe copyright. Now the media moguls are trying again, this time
they have internet file-swapping and i-pods in their sights. Also, are
Australia and New Zealand drifting apart? Terry talks to veteran New
Zealand political commentator Colin James about Trans-Tasman relations.
[T;%]
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Politics vs. Supreme
Court". Coming judicial appointments might firm up a Republican mindset
on the US Supreme Court.
Sharona Coutts reports that the ramifications for American society and
the world are highly charged, significant and sensitive. [T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history with Claudia Taranto. This week:
“Torn Curtain--Science, Spies and Australia's Bid for the Bomb". In
July 1949 Tom Kaiser, a brilliant young Australian physicist and member
of the Communist Party, took part in a demonstration outside Australia
House in London. Within days he was caught up in a web of Cold War
intrigue involving Australia's bid to get nuclear weapons and a Soviet
spy ring in Canberra. [%]
0105 -
ASIA PACIFIC (refer to 2305)
0130 -
Mon.: HEALTH REPORT - with Dr. Norman Swan. This week: "Beneficial
Effects
of Sunlight on Cancer". We all know that too much sunlight can cause
skin cancer. However studies have now suggested that sunlight may be
beneficial in some cancers. It may reduce the risk of non-Hodgkin
lymphoma and may also play a role in melanoma survival. Professor Bruce
Armstrong, Head of the School of Public Health at Sydney University,
talks about these studies. Also on the program: Associate Professor
Rebecca Mason, Head of the Department of Physiology at Sydney
University, talks about the role and effects of Vitamin D. [T; %]
Tue.: LAW REPORT - with Damien Carrick. This weekj: "John Elliott's
Bankruptcy; Jury Selection in the Michael Jackson Trial". John Elliott
- the 80s corporate giant - has just filed for bankruptcy. When it
comes to pushing someone over the financial cliff, do creditors think
only in cold, hard commercial terms - or do other considerations come
into play? Also - the Michael Jackson trial. Jury selection California
style is now underway. Potential jurors must answer lengthy
questionnaires and then be questioned on their answers. Who exactly is
on trial? [T;%]

Tue.: "Water Plan for Perth". The Kimberley is renowned for unlimited
water and the Bureau of Meteorology predicts it will only become wetter
in the future. But will this resource support an ambitious pipeline
proposal? How would it operate, and who are the likely commercial
partners? And can it be done in an environmentally and
economically sustainable way?

of community outrage more than paedophilia. We all revile child
pornography and sexual abuse. But how do we deal with convicted
paedophiles once they're out of jail? Are we over-reacting to the
threat of paedophilia? Or is there good reason to be fearful?

Mon.: Chicago recently had the good sense to rename part of its 75th
Street. Von Freeman Way honours one of the all-time great tenor
saxophonists. Von is also a remarkable person. He’s always gone his own
way, but consistently gone out of his way to help young musicians. Had
Chicago’s hometown sax hero been willing to move to New York his genius
would have been recognized more widely, much earlier. At 82 his powers
- mental & physical – are undimmed. “The Great Divide” is his superb
new quartet album. Variously “tough” & “tender”, fleet & s-l-o-w, it’s
all tasty.
Tue.: “Ochre” is a beautifully mysterious set of elaborations upon
traditional songs. Multi-instrumentalist Andrew Cronshaw primarily
plays zither, with a variety of other players {from Syria through to
Australia} & instruments {from Arabic lutes & plucked zithers through
to bass clarinets, Chinese reeds & the Pontic lyra}. Natacha Atlas
sings two cuts on an otherwise instrumental CD. Peter Culshaw of ‘The
Observer’ calls it “splendidly unclassifiable”. Colin Irwin in 'fRoots'
remarked that “it comes as a shock to realise that the music being
played is actually English.”
Wed.: “Joyosa” is the name of an album by a pan-European group:
trumpeter Markus Stockhausen (yes, he is the son of the famous composer
Karlheinz Stockhausen), Hungarian guitarist Ferenc Snetberger,
Norwegian Bassist Arild Andersen and French drummer Patrice Heral. All
four musicians are open minded players who break through musical
boundaries in their playing and composing, creating a sunny, spacious
and inventive folk music of the future in the process.
Thu.: "If there’s a story so far this year in Canada, it’s Joel
Kroeker”, remarked ‘The Calgary Sun’ in 2004. Just released outside
Canada, Joel Kroeker’s “Melodrama” will likely excite listeners in many
other parts of the world in 2005. He’s a distinctive singer/guitarist &
tender/tough, passionate/wry intelligent/earthy songsmith. Joel also
keeps good company: other players on his CD include guitarist Kevin
Breit & bassist George Koller. Of his approach to life, to music & his
album’s title, Joel says, “Peace always means a storm is coming and
vice versa”. A stand-out song is “Naked Beauty”, which he says is
“about staying open even in the heat of battle.”
Fri.: “Bembeya Jazz” are the first of the great West African bands
who used elecric guitars and basses to express the new found euphoria
of independence. Based in Guinea and urged on by President Sekou
Toure’s radical policies, they made a dance music that expressed
national pride. “The Syliphone Years” is a double CD re-issue of now
rare vinyl LP and 45rpm records they made in the 1960s and 1970s,
researched and produced by Australia’s own Graeme Counsel of ‘Radio
Africa’.
