Saturday
0005 -
ASIA PACIFIC REVIEW* - interviews and reports from the region. [T;%]
0030 -
AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS* - stories from and about Australia with Roger
Broadbent. This week: "Digital Broadcasting in Australia". Both the
radio and television industries are contemplating their digital future.
For radio it’s still something to look forward to, or is it? What does
it offer, what system to use, and who wants it? Meanwhile the
television industry, which introduced digital services four years ago,
now realises that better quality sound and vision do not automatically
guarantee more viewers. In fact Australia appears less than
enthusiastic about this new technology. One report examines the radio
industry’s efforts to get its act together while the other attempts to
find out what’s holding back digital television. There’s also a
revealing insight into the gruesome world of Forensic Dentistry and we
meet someone who’s just completed a circumnavigation of Australia on a
bicycle.

BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda setting, current affairs
radio documentary. This week: "Conspiracy Theories". As the world gets
stranger than fiction, they're proliferating. The Vatican denounced The
Da Vinci Code, Bush refuted the 9/11 subplots, and academics are

anyone
believe anything anymore? Anna Hipsley reports. [T;%]

like water. The series includes four case studies, Singapore, Bangkok,

20th Century English composers along with Sir Edward Elgar, Ralph
Vaughan Williams and Benjamin Britten. And if he were alive today
Michael Tippett would be just turning 100. So we discuss the impact of
his musical style on modern music with two performers of his works this
month: conductor Brett Weymark and harpist Marshall Maguire. Did
Tippett's strong political convictions and humanitarian work underpin
what he composed or ran in parallel as part of "The Great
Memory".....as elucidated by W.B. Yeats? And live music: New York based
Australian jazz singer Chris McNulty is back doing what you'd expect:
standards by the great American jazz songbook composers as well as some
surprising folk song renditions. Guitarist Mia Dyson and her band play
