(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 2: Showbiz & Ethics". In her exploration of the way
science has been used in show business, Jane Goodall takes us back to
the world of Phineas Taylor Barnum, the owner of numerous natural
history museums. But there was also fun involved. He played tricks on
people - so was this ethical? When were people expected to make the
change from the real to the unreal? In fact he challenged people and
asked them to decide if some exhibits were real or otherwise. On one
hand he presented ideas about evolution, on the other he presented the
man-monkey, the Fiji mermaid and other curious exhibits. [%]
Wed.: THE NATIONAL INTEREST - Terry Lane looks at the major issues of
the week. This week: "The Voyager Tragedy 40 Years On". Lane talks to Dr
Tom Frame - Bishop, historian and former naval officer - about the
collision between HMAS Voyager and the HMAS Melbourne, Australia's
worse peacetime naval disaster in which 82 men died.
[T;%]
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Out of Work, Out of
Sight". Unemployment is low, but there are still 500,000 people on the
dole in Australia. Social researchers and marketers are scrutinising
the psychology of people out of work to find ways to "help people do
what's in their best interests". Meanwhile, an internal report says
Centrelink is too harsh in fining people who breach its rules. [T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history with Claudia Taranto. This week:
“Torn Curtain with Tom Morton. Program 3 of 4: The Vietnam War &
Nixon's Secret Nuclear Alert". Richard Nixon was elected on a promise
of peace with honour: a promise to get troops out of Vietnam and heal
the deep divisions in American society. But within six months of taking
office, Nixon embarked on a secret strategy of massively escalating the
war and bluffing the Soviet Union that he was prepared to use nuclear
weapons. New research also offers some surprising revelations about how
Soviet leaders saw the Vietnam war and their involvement in it. [%]

ASIA PACIFIC (refer to 2305)
0130 -
Mon.: HEALTH REPORT - with Dr. Norman Swan. This week: "Trauma". This
is a
documentary by award winning producer Kyla Brettle which presents an
intimate portrait of the experience of trauma medicine from the point
of view of medical staff, the patients and their families. The program
makers spent many days and nights with the Trauma Team at Melbourne's
Alfred Hospital. [T; %]
Tue.: LAW REPORT - with Damien Carrick. This week: "Torture". Torture
- What is it? Who carries it out? Who gets away with it? Who gets
punished? Can it ever be morally acceptable? Exactly how far would you
go if your entire family was in imminent danger? So how far should the
state go to prevent a terrorist attack? And have our collective views
on the matter shifted since 9/11? [T;%]
Wed.: RELIGION REPORT - with Stephen Crittenden.
[abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/relrpt] for details.
Thu.: MEDIA REPORT - with Mick O'Regan.
[abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/mediarpt/] for details. [T;%]

“Young Gourmet” initiative: schools around Australia have been
challenged to develop a new food product based on locally sourced
ingredients. Listeners can follow the progress of the two feature
schools and help decide the direction they follow by voting at various

a product based on organic apples, and South Australia’s Trinity
College is making gourmet pies.

how you can access your creativity in our series The Nature of
Innovation and hear how a young man has grown a simple idea into a
niche internet market. [T;%]
Tue.: AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - Stories from and about Australia that are
always informative, entertaining and sometimes surprising, with Roger
Broadbent. Roger writes about this week's show, "The AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS
emerges from its summer hibernation of repeats with a brand new and
very fashionable programme, part of which we devote to our own Kylie
Minogue and the clothes that have made her world famous. From overalls
to gold hot pants they’re on show here in Melbourne and will soon be
touring the country. We’ll learn how to milk the venom of Funnel Web
spiders - with extreme care I should imagine - and reveal the findings
of a nationwide ‘Well-Being’ survey. What does it take for us to be
happy and contented and where can we find the happiest and most
contended people in Australia? Radio Australia’s dedicated follower of
fashion, Roger Broadbent, invites you to join him for the AUSTRALIAN
EXPRESS." (I didn't write that last line; Roger did. I can't confirm or
deny its "allegation"-ed.)
Wed.: RURAL REPORTER - the people and places that make up country
Australia.
Thu.: ARTS ON RA
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 -
Mon.-Thu.: LATE NIGHT LIVE - talk radio with a difference, from
razor-sharp analysis of current events to the hottest debates in
politics, science, philosophy and culture. [abc.net.au/rn/talks/lnl/]
for details.
Mon.: Arthur Miller
Tue.: Growing grumblings in the happy isles.
Wed.: An eye on Guantanemo Bay's military commissions.
Thu.: Arthur Schlesinger--Camelot's intellectual-in-residence Fri.:
SOUND QUALITY - an hour of music that grabs the mould and gives
it a good shake. [abc.net.au/rn/music/soundqlt/] for details. About
this week's program, Tim writes, "This week is a further adventure in
the concept that sound can be more "visual" than vision, Come and have
a listen, close your eyes and leave your ears to paint sound pictures
that will delight, fright and ignite." [T;%]
1305 -
THE PLANET - jazz, blues, folk styles, art music and more in a show
artfully arranged for radio. [T;%]
Mon.: Italy’s Simone Guiducci is a very eloquent, improvisatory
acoustic guitarist & gifted composer. His Gramelot Ensemble is
singular, but it’s not hard to see why critic Bev Stapleton exclaimed,
“Imagine an acoustic version of Weather Report with more space, room to
breathe in the music.” Intricately structured but nicely open, this
music is very lyrical, yet adventurous & surprising. All too often,
attempts to “fuse” jazz & folk {cum-”roots”/”world”/”ethnic”} sell one
or both aspects short, but Guiducci’s mutual embrace is delightfully
deep. It’s a lot of fun, too: “Dancin’ Roots” will likely move your
pedal extremities. This definitely-European CD makes excellent use of
two American friends – trumpeter Ralph Alessi & clarinettist Don Byron.
Tue.: A show called horse! New from Scotland is “Gentle Giants”.
Subtitled, “A celebration of the Clydesdale Horse in Song", the CD has
several fine new songs, including a parable after George Orwell. Its
arrival moves us to a musical evening which is not especially
Clydesdale-centric, but always involves horse-sense/scents. The
centralmost Asian nation that’s probably the world’s horsiest land is
one of many off-road destinations in our horse-powered “Planet”.
Wed.: Ian Carr is one of the most unique acoustic guitarists of our
time. Whether he’s playing Irish or Scandinavian music, he always
manages to find original and powerful ways to fill out the rhythm and
harmony. “Step On It” is his record with Niklas Roswall, the 1996 world
champion on the chromatic version of the nyckelharpa, Sweden’s national
instrument (half hurdy gurdy, half violin). Every tune on this album of
mostly Ian and Niklas’ originals blends modern and archaic sounds, and
most consist of a complex combination of themes and grooves. It’s the
fullest sound you’ll hear from a duo album in a long time.
Thu.: The Doch Gypsy Orchestra is a very lively, unlikely Australian
success story. The core septet – Doch - is Brisbane-based, its name
untranslatable. Doch's members are not ancestrally entitled to play
Eastern European gypsy music. They do so with great flair - definitely
not at the 'capuccino-lite' end of the “gypsy” spectrum. “This Drink,
This Moon” comes from powerhouse concerts at the Brisbane Powerhouse,
last year. Twenty-five musicians were involved, including singers Reni
Pavlova-Bojilov & Zulya.
Fri.: Gil Askey was born in Austin Texas in 1925 and played as a jazz
trumpeter for almost 20 years before becoming a musical director for
Motown and other companies for over 20 years. While on tour in
Australia as musical director for Diana Ross, he met the woman who
would become his wife and they now live in Seaford, Victoria. It was
only a matter of time before he and Paul Williamson made a record
together, given their mutual love of blues-tinged jazz. Both Paul and
Gil sing and play on their new album and Paul's sax playing is richly
melodic and deeply bluesy. "When I Grow Too Old To Dream" is a cheerful
album of jazz standards played with love and a great sense of fun.

Thu.: ALL IN THE MIND with Natasha Mitchell. This week: "Brain injury
in Children--A neglected epidemic?" What happens when little heads hit
hard surfaces? When Byron was 4 years old he walked into the path of a
car and was left severely brain damaged. 21 years later he's just
graduated with a maths degree - against all odds. But new evidence is
starting to challenge long-held beliefs about the incredible plasticity
of young brains, and their needs years after childhood injury. Is
brain injury a neglected epidemic among children and adolescents? [T;%]
Fri.: HIT MIX* - the Australian music scene.
