AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS* - stories from and about Australia with
Roger Broadbent. This week: It's Australia's game - even though
Victorians like to claim it as their own. Like any sport, AFL, Aussie
Rules Fooptball, has produced its champions. After their time in the
sun, many of the greats moved into the commentary box, where they
became as famous as they were on the field. One of them, Don Hyde was
a radio and television commentator for AFL for more than three
decades. He's also the co-author of "Beyond the Call". On the
Australian Express this week Don takes us behind the scenes as he
describes life in the commentary box and what it takes to become a
top AFL commentator. We begin an occasional series called ‘Everyday
Clever’ in which we look at the origins & stories of everyday items
we take for granted and you may be surprised how some of these things
came into our lives. You’ll also be surprised by a rather unusual
world championships where the only prerequisites are good lung
capacity and an ability to project one’s voice.

IN CONVERSATION - about scientific matters. This week:
"Colleen McCullough" began her career studying the physiology of
epilepsy. She was based at Yale, a top-line university in America.
That’s when she started to write fiction. The rest is history – but
what about the science? Yes, she’s still keen and keeps remarkably up
to date, as she tells Robyn Williams in her verdant conservatory at
home in Norfolk Island. [%]
0331 -
HEALTH REPORT - with Dr. Norman Swan. This week: "Glue Ear in
Children". This is a very common condition and to relieve it,
grommets, tympanostomy tubes, are inserted in kids' ears. Glue ear,
persistent fluid in the middle ear, impairs hearing and there is
concern that this may affect a child's language and intellectual
development. Researchers in the US investigated the developmental
outcome after early or delayed insertion of grommets in children
suffering from glue ear. [T;%]
0405 -
BIG IDEAS - lectures, conversations, features and special
series from Australia and around the world. This week: "Music And
Fashion--#2 - 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. Heaven On Earth considers
these changes, from mediaeval times to the present. [T;%]
0510 -
PACIFIC BEAT* - focuses in on the island nations which depend on
the Pacific Ocean for their existence drawing on Australian reporters
and correspondents based throughout the region. [T;%]
