"Heavy Words Lightly Thrown". Chris Roberts explains the meaning behind
nursery rhymes. Did you know 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' was about taxation?
And 'Goosie Goosie Gander' full of sexual misconduct? It's also
possible that Old King Cole was an Aboriginal cricketer, Humpty Dumpty
a cannon, and the Mulberry Bush planted in a prison. These innocent
rhymes will never be the same again. [T;%]
Thu.: THE ARK - curious moments in religious history that shatter the
usual perception of the past and illuminate the present. This week:
"Lost Temples of Uzbekistan". Around 400 BCE Zoroastrianism was a
thriving religion in Uzbekistan, Central Asia. Today a team of

baffled. [T;%]

Asylum Seekers". As relevations emerge about the deportation of
Australian citizen - Vivian Alvarez - we look at another aspect of
removal from Australia: How are failed asylum seekers exited out of the

What happens if they don't have a country to return to? And is the
Australian government playing according to the rules? [T;%]

limited resources like water. The series includes four case studies,
Singapore, Bangkok,
Melbourne and Beijing, and finishes with post-graduate students from
the University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Architecture discussing some
of the issues addressed in the six programs. [T;%]
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Safe At Sea". Cruising
is a tourism
phenomenon, with enormous ships, huge profits, and about 10 million
people a year using these ‘cultural bubbles’. You can even buy
apartments on board, so you never have to leave.
Amanda Armstrong reports. [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: "The Beginner's Guide to Fugues". A fugue is the musical

Today, it and many other rivers dammed at the time, are little more
than a trickle. It's a sad environmental mess and a new book relates
the story of the once mighty river. There's also some good
environmental news from our island state of Tasmania. We examine
efforts to change the lifestyles of overweight school children as
obesity reaches alarming levels. And we take time out to talk rubbish
or to talk about rubbish.
