Weekdays

0005 -
	IN THE LOOP* - Radio Australia's newest show celebrates the cultures

Pacific, highlighting the opportunities and challenges of the 21st
century. (Begins at 2330.)

0130 -
	ASIA PACIFIC (refer to 2305)

0210 -
	THE 	WORLD TODAY - a comprehensive current affairs program which

FINANCIAL REPORT) [T;%]

0305 -
	SPORT
0315 -
	Mon.: IN CONVERSATION - about scientific matters. This week: "Henry 
Lowood".
The computer revolution could have taken off nearly anywhere in 
America. So why California – in the valley outside San Francisco? Why 
not out East? Could there have been some special ingredients to the 
spectacular success? Dr Henry Lowood of Stanford University has written 
a history. [%]
	Tue.: OCKHAM'S RAZOR - sharp commentary about science.  This week: 
"Are you worried too?" Retired radiation oncologist Dr Thomas Sandeman 
from Victoria examines what humanity is doing to itself and the world 
around us.  Thousands of years of family rearing, religious and secular 
education has failed to prevent so many members of our species doing 
their best to destroy their fellows and now our environment.  But now 
humanity has the capacity to modify biological nature so shouldn't we 
be examining these techniques as a treatment for our own malaise? [T;%]
	Wed.: LINGUA FRANCA - looking at all aspects of language.  This week:
"The Secret Reading Life of Us...". What Aussie battlers were reading 
in the early years of Federation: Tim Dolin has been combing through 
local library records in West Australian country towns. The first of 
two programs. [T;%]
	Thu.: THE ARK - curious moments in religious history that shatter the 
usual perception of the past and illuminate the present. This week: 
"The Pope and the Patriarch". In 1054 the Church of Rome experienced a 
final schism with the Eastern churches. The result was two leaders of 
Christendom, the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, and the Pope 
in Rome. Pope John Paul II was an important champion of a rapprochement 
of the Eastern and Western traditions, which was begun in the mid 
1960s. Dr. Rev Lawrence Cross of the Australian Catholic University in 
Melbourne explains why. [T;%]
	Fri.: TALKING POINT - one of the interviews covering a diverse range
of subjects from the domestic "Breakfast" program.
<abc.net.au/rn/talks/brkfast/default.htm> for details. [%]
0331 -
	Mon.: HEALTH REPORT - with Dr. Norman Swan. This week: "HRT for Urinary
Incontinence". Hormone therapy has been prescribed for women for a long 
time to treat
menopausal symptoms, such as hot flushes and night sweats. HRT is also 
often prescribed to treat urinary incontinence. Researchers in the US 
investigated the effects of HRT on the incidence and severity of 
symptoms of stress, urge and mixed urinary incontinence in healthy 
postmenopausal women. [T;%]
	Tue.: LAW REPORT -with Damien Carrick. This week: "Farms, Families and 
Fights over Wills; The Legal Bills of Company Directors". Farms, 
Families and Fights over Wills. What happens when a son or daughter - 
who works on the farm and builds up the family assets - gets left out 
of the will? Also who foots the legal bill - when company directors are 
hauled before the courts? [T;%]
	Wed.: RELIGION REPORT - with David Rutledge.
[abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/relrpt/] for details.

[abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/mediarpt/] for details. [T;%]

significance of sport. [abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/sportsf/] for details.
[T;%]

0405 -
	Mon.: BIG IDEAS - lectures, conversations, features and special series
from Australia and around the world. This week: "The Wisdom Interviews 
with
Peter Thompson - Program 3 of 6: John Konrads". John Konrads arrived in
Australia as a boy from Latvia in 1949. He became an Olympic Swimming
champion in the early 1960s. John then had over two decades of success
in business, but his career went in to meltdown. He was diagnosed with
bi-polar disorder. [T;%]
	Tue.: SCIENCE SHOW -  with Robyn Williams. This week: "Where’s the 
Body?"
TV crime shows are presenting forensic science as never before, and now
students are pouring into forensic-based courses at universities. But
in court, juries as well as the bereaved are getting misleading ideas
of what science can do with evidence. [T;%]
	Wed.: SMART SOCIETIES - What will it take to be truly smart in the 21st
century? In this education series young people and regional specialists
discuss a range of issues from international education to creating
liveable cities to being good corporate citizens. This week: "Episode
10 - Historical Memory." This program looks at the importance of a
balanced view of a nation’s history from a Japanese and Indonesian
perspective. [T;%]
	Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "What Went Wrong With 
Vioxx?" A common and highly profitable arthritis drug, Vioxx, was 
pulled off the market
worldwide late last year. Consultants, researchers, medical 
practitioners, the authorities and the investors are reeling as the 
story unfolds here in Australia, too. [T;%]
	Fri.: KEYS TO MUSIC - Graham Abbott breaks down the barriers to 
enjoying classical music for non-musicians, revealing basic concepts, 
discussing composers and exploring pieces of music inside-out. This 
week: "Music of the Night". The emotions associated with night and 
darkness have led composers to attempt to create “music of the night”. 
In this program Graham explores night music by Bartók, Field, Handel, 
Puccini and Britten. [T;%]

0430 -
	Wed.: INNOVATIONS* - A showcase of Australian design, discoveries, 
invention, engineering and research skills with Desley Blanch. This

getting horses back on track. [T;%]

		Mon.: "Sick Buildings". We spend up to a third of our lives in office 
blocks. Now there’s clear evidence that the work environment is making 
many of us sick. From radiation exposure to toxic glue in the fibre 
board – it’s all under examination. So how do we fix these hidden 
dangers and build better workplaces for the future?

	"REPORT" programs (refer to 0331)

1105 -
	Mon.: THE NATIONAL INTEREST - Terry Lane looks at the major issues of 
the
week. This week: the rise and fall of Peter Lewis, who has resigned as
speaker of the South Australia's lower house. A colourful Liberal
turned independent, Peter Lewis brought the Rann Labor government to
power in SA, but failed to achieve his dream of fundamental
constitutional reform. Also, Perth journalist Estelle Blackburn talks
about her long campaign for the exoneration of Darryl Beamish, whose
1961 murder conviction has just been overturned by the Court of
Criminal Appeal and biologist Rick Shine describes life on the front
line of the NT cane toad invasion. [%]
	Tue.: AWAYE! - produced and presented by Aboriginal broadcasters and is
Australia's only national Indigenous arts and culture program. This 
week: "'Black Medea".
As unlikely as it sounds, Euripides’ classic tale is being retold by 
Indigenous director Wesley Enoch. In this version, Medea sacrifices 
land and culture of central Australia for Jason and the city, with 
disastrous results. What meaning do the classics have in contemporary 
Indigenous life? [%]
	Wed.: SMART SOCIETIES (refer to 0405 Wed.)
	Thu.: THE EUROPEANS - political, cultural, economic and social 
developments across eastern and western Europe with Keri Philips. This 
week: " 050505: The UK
Election Campaign". It’s unlikely that UK voters will turn on Tony 
Blair in sufficient numbers to force him out of Downing Street. But 
after eight years of Blairite policies, how many voters have now 
decided that New Labour is not 'real' Labour? [T;%]
	Fri.: MOVIE TIME - a comprehensive wrap of movie reviews, interviews
and behind-the-scenes information presented by Julie Rigg. 
[abc.net.au/rn/arts/movietime] for details. [T;%]
1130 -
	Wed.: ALL IN THE MIND - the mind, brain and behaviour with Natasha 
Mitchell. This week: "Count Dracula and Dr Jekyll--Neurology and the 
Novel". We hear how the late-19th-century horror classics: “Dracula” 
and “The Strange Case of Jekyll and Hyde” offer unexpected insights 
into developments in brain research of the time ­ and the
controversies it provoked. [%]
	Thu.: ARTS ON RA - Julie Copeland presents lively discussions and
interviews with artists, writers and thinkers on some of the big ideas
in art and culture. [abc.net.au/rn/arts/sunmorn/] for details. [%]
	Fri.: BOOKS AND WRITING - Ramona Koval with in-depth discussions 
focusing on books, ideas and writing. This week: "Philosophy vs 
Storytelling". Are there limits to the capacity of stories to provide 
answers to complex moral problems? Is philosophy too dispassionate and 
impenetrable for a lay audience? Is Australian society incapable of 
sustained philosophical thought? Do we look to stories for real meaning 
or just for emotional and moral appeasement? Listen to two friends ... 
philosopher Raimond Gaita and storyteller Arnold Zable ... as they 
attempt to understand our relationship to both these traditions. [%]

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/]
