        ASIA PACIFIC REVIEW* - interviews and reports from the region.
[T;%]
0030 -
        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.

World War.  While he was in the camp Eugene met and married a fellow

        SPORT

        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;%]

        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;%]
