SPORT
0315 -
+++++++Mon.: IN CONVERSATION - about scientific matters. This week,
Dan Grossman speaks to geographer Williams Woods about the soils of the
Amazon. Despite being naturally poor, recent evidence suggests the
Indians of the Amazon developed a long term approach to improving their
soils. By turning in charcoal and organic material over hundreds of
years, their soils became able to support crops and food plants capable
of feeding vast populations. The native people and their soils were
decimated with the arrival of white settlers. [%]
+++++++Tue.: OCKHAM'S RAZOR - sharp commentary about science. This
week: "Entrepreneurs for Good". Author and science writer Peter
Macinnis is fed up with TV that panders to malice and viciousness,
programs that reward duplicity and bastardry and has come up with an
alternative reality program which will provide the tension and
excitement that good TV demands. His scheme involves teams from both
the First World and Third World countries combining to look at the
challenges of mosquito control, nutrition, delivering clean power and
clean water to name a few. A jury would rate their projects and they
would then be sent to a Third World location to tackle the problem,
sharing their skills with the locals. [T;%]
+++++++Wed.: LINGUA FRANCA - looking at all aspects of language. This
week: "The great social experiment of reading: faltering
expectations". Hermina Burns, Assistant Principal of Eltham High
School, argues that the twin pressures of economic rationalism and
post-modernism have devalued serious reading and literature along with
the Enlightenment goal of the betterment of society. [T;%]
+++++++Thu.: THE ARK - curious moments in religious history that
shatter the usual perception of the past and illuminate the present.
This week: "Homeless Boys and Drunks". These were society's "dregs"
whom Father Tom Dunlea dedicated his life to helping. Founder of Boys'
Town in Australia and Alcoholics Anonymous in Sydney, Father Tom was
unconventional and attracted many supporters from all religious
backgrounds. An Irish-born priest, he established Boys’ Town in the
1930s after seeing the Oscar-winning Spencer Tracy movie 'Boys Town',
which told the story of the original Boys Town in Nebraska. Father John
McSweeney, author of A Welcome on the Mat, tells the story. [T;%]
+++++++Fri.: TALKING POINT - the most interesting interviews covering
a diverse range of subjects from each day's domestic "Breakfast"

Conversation with Christopher Binse". Also known as 'Badness' - the
notorious bank-robber and repeat prison-escapee who's just been

years behind bars and his hopes for the future. Now free, he wants to
stop others from travelling down the path of crime. [T;%]

++++++++Wed.: SMART SOCIETIES - What will it take to be truly smart in
the 21st century? In this education series young people and regional

"Episode 3 - International Education". The internationalisation of

++++++++Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting,
current affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Not Born Equal".
A new race specific drug - BiDil - has ignited international

the minute differences that set each of us apart, and the issue of
better and worse genes becomes reality. [T;%]

evenings. "Teaching the President about Climate Change" -
When US President George W. Bush wanted to know the truth about climate

Sciences. A team of experts provided the answers, confirming that

apparent than in historic Famagusta. Before the military coup in 1974,

was the tourist capital of Cyprus. These days, it's a derelict ghost
town. [T;%]

Chinese Whispers…and a ghost story. [%]

discussions focusing on books, ideas and writing. This week: English
actor Steven Berkoff tells Ramona Koval about the many and varied,
flawed and evil characters that emanated from the Bard's imagination,
and he says that the language is more than strong enough for the actor
to rely on ... without props and without gimmicks. Plus an exploration
of those special moments that engage the mind of the story-teller.
Arnold Zable explains the way the story-teller's antenna is tuned in to
notice the magical or the unexpected.
