cultures
and peoples of the Pacific. Isabelle Genoux and Heather Jarvis present
a lively--and live--two hour morning mix of music, interviews and

0305 -
SPORT
0315 -
Mon.: IN CONVERSATION - about scientific matters. This week:
Professor
Chris Del Mar is the Dean of the new Medical School at Bond
University in southern Queensland. Students will go straight into
medicine instead of doing a science degree first and will also be
encouraged to value evidence as a prime guide to diagnosis and
treatment. How is this different from other medical schools in
Australia? [%]
Tue.: OCKHAM'S RAZOR - sharp commentary about science. This week:
"Secret Science". Jane Goodall, author of two detective novels and a
lecturer on the
history of ideas, talks on the theme of mystery, superstition and
intrigue. [T;%]
Wed.: LINGUA FRANCA - looking at all aspects of language. This
week: "The Language of Israelis, Part 1 of 2". The first of two
programs exploring why the language of Israelis shouldn’t be called
Modern Hebrew. A visiting Israeli linguist
argues his mother tongue isn’t the language of Isaiah, but a hybrid,
semi-engineered language based on Yiddish. [T;%]
Thu.: THE ARK - curious moments in religious history that
shatter the usual perception of the past and illuminate the present.
This week: "Gandhi--'Secular Saint'". Delhi University’s Professor
Sumit Sarkar explains the greatness and
contradictions of India's 'secular saint', Mahatma Gandhi. [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: "Sexual
Function in Women". Is there such a thing as female androgen
deficiency syndrome? It’s the latest buzz and relates low sexual
function in women to a lack of male hormones. But when you measure
male hormones in women, does it add up? [T;%]
Tue.: LAW REPORT -with Damien Carrick. This week: "Court
Artists". We visit the studio of court illustrator Glenda Brigham and
find out why accurate drawings of the accused are allowed on our TV
screens and in our papers - but not photos. She shows us her work and
describes some of the strange scenes she encounters in the courtroom.
This program was first broadcast in May 2004. [T;%]
Wed.: RELIGION REPORT - with Stephen Crittenden. <abc.net.au/rn/
talks/8.30/relrpt/> for details. [T;%]

[T;%]

details. [T;%]
0405 -
Mon.: BIG IDEAS - lectures, conversations, features and special
series
from Australia and around the world. This week: "Music and Fashion.
Program two--Heaven on Earth". Throughout history the church has
inspired and probably paid for more music than any other
establishment. But what sort of music is appropriate for God? Even if
we believe God to be unchanging, religious music has been as subject
to fashion as any other sort of music. Andrew Ford considers these
changes, from mediaeval times to the present. [T;%]
Tue.: SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "A Visit
to the Library in Alexandria". It was the first ‘academy’, a place of
learning, research and debate. It was burned down twice and all its
treasures destroyed. Now the great Alexandrian Library has opened
once more and we visit it. [T;%]
Wed.: THE USP/PARKINSON MEMORIAL LECTURE SERIES - Held at the
University of the South Pacific in Fiji earlier this year and launched
in 1970 in memory of the late Mr. Ray Parkinson, the lectures provide a
forum for raising public awareness and debate on important development
issues. The theme for this year's series is "Breaking the Poverty
Cycle" and on Radio Australia in coming weeks we hear edited speeches
from a number of contributors. Program # 3 looks at poverty in an
urban context.
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting,
current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Women who Transgress".
Schapelle, Pauline and Lindy each became a lightning rod for our
anxieties about motherhood, infanticide, deserts, drugs, Bali bombings,
or the splintering of political consensus, as Wendy Carlisle 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 Music History 7: The Early Twentieth
Century". In this program Graham looks at the period 1900-1950 and
discusses some of the developments in music during this turbulent
era. [T;%]

invention, engineering and research skills with Desley Blanch.

Sandy McCutcheon. [abc.net.au/rn/talks/austback/] for details. [%]
Mon.: "Battered Wives Syndrome". In Victoria a woman who
killed her abusive husband has been released after more than 9 years
in prison. So should our laws change to give further recognition to
so-called “battered wives syndrome”? Or would changes to self defence
simply encourage murder?
Tue.-Wed.: tba
Thu.: The week's three topics in review.
Fri.: AUSTRALIA TALKS BOOKS - allows listeners across the
nation to contribute to in-depth and open analysis of books, ideas
and writing, both on radio and online. This month: "John Hughes - The
Idea of Home: Autobiographical Essays". Giramondo Publishing. This
book won the Douglas Stewart Prize for non-fiction in this year's NSW
Premier's Literary Awards, and is being read on First Person during
Life Matters at 10.15am from 4-15 July. In "The Idea of Home" John
Hughes writes about growing up in the Hunter Valley coal-mining town
of Cessnock in a household dominated by memories of the Ukraine,
which his mother and grandparents were forced to flee during the
Second World War. Hughes charts the effect their stories and routines
had on him as a child, the way they shaped his imagination and
determined his idea of himself - as a student in Newcastle and later
as the holder of a prestigious scholarship at Cambridge University.
Yet this inheritance almost undoes him, for in Cambridge what he
encounters is not the romantic idea of Europe he had imagined, but a
provincialism more pronounced than that he had left behind in Australia.

ASIA PACIFIC (refer to 2305)
1030 -
Mon.: CRICKET - Live coverage of the fifth day of first test in

has been together for 23 years and has travelled every inch of their
country playing music. [%]
Wed.: THE USP/PARKINSON MEMORIAL LECTURE SERIES (refer to 0405)
Thu.: THE EUROPEANS - political, cultural, economic and social
developments across eastern and western Europe with Keri Philips.
This week: "Norway’s Sporting Resistance". Following the Nazi
occupation of Norway in 1940, a boycott of official sport became the
vehicle for expressing civil resistance. After the end of WWII, this
moral stand raised difficult questions when Oslo hosted the 1952
Winter Olympics. [T;%]
Fri.: MOVIE TIME - a comprehensive wrap of movie reviews,
interviews
and behind-the-scenes information presented by Julie Rigg. This week:
"Mysterious Skin (Full review); Rigg's Picks 22 July; The Week In
Film." [T;%]
1130 -
Wed.: ALL IN THE MIND - the mind, brain and behaviour with Natasha
Mitchell. This week: "An Intimate History of the Unconscious".
Could our conscious mind be but the tip of an iceberg, underpinned
by the seething underbelly of the unconscious? Cognitive scientist
Guy Claxton argues that the mystical metaphors of the hidden mind
still have their place. [%]
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: "Poetry and the
Peace Process". After many lifetimes of conflict and intransigence in
Northern Ireland, the fragility of the peace process has fostered a
language of precariousness. Irish poet Edna Longley says the poetry
of this period has had a greater role than just passively observing
the effects of division, violence, aspiration and disappointment. [%]
1205 -
Tue.-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/]

Tue.-Fri.: ASIA PACIFIC* (refer to 2305)
1330 -
Tue.: Tue.: AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS* - stories from and about
Australia with Roger
Broadbent. This week: There’s one in Sydney, Melbourne,
Brisbane, Adelaide, Darwin, and Broome. You’ll also find one in many
other parts of the world. London and San Francisco for instance. All
these places are home to ‘China Town’ and in this week’s Australian
Express a food writer and author of a new book on the subject talks
about his love of Chinatowns, about their origins and how they have
changed over the years. Sadly there’s little love lost over the much
maligned Cane Toad the nation's most prolific and despised introduced
species. They poison pets and injure humans with their toxins and now
inhabit one fifth of this continent. Introduced to Queensland 70
years ago to combat the cane beetle Cane Toads are about to invade
Western Australia where the ‘Anti-Cane Toad Foundation’ is gathering
its forces to repel this slimy pest. And we find out what it’s like
to work in remote Aboriginal communities in the final of our
occasional series ‘Bush Work’.
