SPORT
0315 -
Mon.: IN CONVERSATION - about scientific matters. This week:
"Robot Man". Noel Sharkey left school at 15, became a singer and took
substances. Now Professor Sharkey, he’s explored the nature of
machine intelligence, experimented with robotic evolution and mused
on what kind of thinking is beyond computers. [%]
Tue.: OCKHAM'S RAZOR - sharp commentary about science. This
week: "Australian Complicity in Iraq Mass Mortality".
An extraordinary feature of the post-war world has been the
resolute refusal of Anglo/American media to report avoidable
mass mortality and other atrocities linked to Western activities.
Former associate professor of biodiversity, Dr Gideon Polya,
from Melbourne, has made a detailed analysis of avoidable global
mortality and tells us his startling conclusions.. [T;%]
Wed.: LINGUA FRANCA - looking at all aspects of language.
This week: "Narangga Warra". How the Narungga people of the Yorke
Pensinula in South Australia are reclaiming their language. Narungga
Aboriginal Progress Association's Narungga Language Worker, Tanya
Wanganeen, on the community efforts to recover their language [T;%]
Thu.: THE ARK - curious moments in religious history that
shatter the usual perception of the past and illuminate the present.
This week: "Mystery Cults of Pompeii". When Pompeii was destroyed in
79 AD the Roman state religion
was in decline. Archaeologist Michael Birrell describes the mystery
cults from the East, such as the cult of Isis,
evidence of which has been found in the ruins of Pompeii. [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: "Cancer
Screening, Benefits and Harms". Part 2 of 3.
Part two of this series looks at what might be done to minimise the
impact of the downside of screening. The series is produced and
presented by Dr Alex Barratt, Associate Professor of Epidemiology at
the University of Sydney. [T;%]
Tue.: LAW REPORT -with Damien Carrick. <abc.net.au/rn/talks/
8.30/lawrpt/> for details. [T;%]
Wed.: RELIGION REPORT - with Stephen Crittenden. <abc.net.au/
rn/
talks/8.30/relrpt/> for details. [T;%]
Thu.: MEDIA REPORT - with Richard Aedy.
<abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/mediarpt/> for details.
[T;%]
Fri.: SPORTS FACTOR - debating and celebrating the
cultural significance of sport. [abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/sportsf/] for
details. [T;%]
0405 -
Mon.: BIG IDEAS - lectures, conversations, features and special
series from Australia and around the world. This week: "Music And
Fashion--#4 - Fame". Bach was the most famous organist of his day,
Liszt was the most famous pianist of his, and Mahler's fame rested on
his prodigious gifts as a conductor. Now we think of all three of
them as composers: great ones, too. But we're lucky to know their
music at all. The reputations of composers in their lifetimes are
subject to the whims of public taste, and that isn't always focused
on music. In pop, from Jimi Hendrix to Eva Cassidy, death can enhance
a career. But sometimes famous musicians take their music with them
to the grave. Nearly a century after Bach's death, it needed
Mendelssohn to revive interest in his music. [T;%]
Tue.: SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "30th
Anniversary Special--A Matter of Scandal and Concern". While most
organs of scientific communication take pride in their accuracy, The
Science Show does the opposite. On this, the 30th anniversary of The
Science Show program 1, we meet once more both the Fossil Beer Can
and Homo micturans, Sir Clarence Lovejoy and brain flux theory, the
‘live’ coverage of Princess Diana’s first confinement and her duet on
the Space Shuttle with Barry Manilow – and many more. [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". Program # 4 features entrepreneurs and
community leaders who have broken out of poverty or are helping
others make the break.
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting,
current affairs radio documentary program. This week: "What's the Data?"
Massive databanks are crosschecking all of us. High-tech
surveillance is matching faces, gait, behaviour patterns and
even stress levels to identify terrorists. This is vital work.
But are the results always correct? [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: "Peter Sculthorpe and Kakadu". Graham looks in this
program at three of Peter Sculthorpe's works from the 1980s and 90s
which derive their inspiration from Kakadu National Park. These are
Kakadu, dating from 1988, and two works written for the guitarist
John Williams, Nourlangie and From Kakadu. A special feature of this
program will be the opportunity to hear the new version of Kakadu
featuring the didjeridu virtuoso William Barton. [T;%]

for IVF? It's currently banned in Britain and Australia, but the
British are reconsidering their ban. So is choosing the child's sex
the brave new world of designer babies or a parent's right?

cited as the ideal role model for children to follow. "Fijians in
Mesopotamia" -
More than 1000 Fijians are now working in Iraq and Kuwait as
soldiers, security guards, drivers and labourers. But the lure of
high pay has consequences at home. "Bronwyn Bishop responds to the
Aussie Mossie" - Brownyn Bishop responds to criticisms of her made by
Irfan Yusuf earlier in this program, and defends her call for state
schools to ban Muslim girls from wearing the headscarf.
Tue.: AWAYE! - produced and presented by Aboriginal

from some of the Poles involved whose actions ultimately led to the
collapse of communism. [T;%]

This week: The Week In Film; Palindromes (Full review); Interview

cattle: from paddock to plate is not without its critics. And the
magic log for
those who use wood burning fires. [T;%]
Tue.: AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS* - stories from and about Australia
with Roger Broadbent. This week: If you were asked to picture a kangaroo
you’d probably conjure up an image of one standing tall, resting on
its massive tail and then suddenly lunging forward as it hops away
into the middle distance. So it’ll probably come as a surprise to
hear that in Australia, and indeed in New Guinea, there are Kangaroos
that can actually climb trees. They don’t look a whole lot like your
everyday kangaroo and they’re a great deal smaller. Sadly they’re
under threat as is so much of our wildlife these days. On the
Australian Express we find out what’s being done to ensure a future
for these mini kangaroos. You’re invited to meet the ‘Ten Tenors’,
former students from Queensland’s Conservatorium of Music. They made
their international debut in 2002 in Germany in front of a television
audience of 20 million people and have since sold-out performances in
Asia, Europe and North America. They've appeared alongside Rod
Stewart, Andre Boccelli, Alanis Morissette, Willie Nelson, Sophie
Ellis-Baxter and Hot Chocolate. Sadly however not many people in
Australia know who they are so all ten of the tenors have returned to
show audiences at home what they do. Recently the entire group
squeezed into an ABC studio in Sydney for a very special performance.
And as we’ll hear, the ‘Ten Tenors’ may have started as a bit of fun,
these days the ten lads are pretty serious about what they do.

Fri.: AUSTRALIAN EXPRESS - stories from and about Australia
with Roger Broadbent. This week: Roger invites you to the first of
four programmes in which he looks back over sixty broadcasts to
revisit just a few of the over 200 stories he’s featured since March
2004. This week there’s a visit to a college in Western Australia
where budding rock stars find out if its really something they want
to do … it may not all be quite as romantic and exciting as it looks.
That was the very first item in the very first programme. A couple of
weeks later the Australian Express celebrated an anniversary - 70
years ago the ABC sent its first and presumably its finest
journalists into the field to report from some of the most troubled
places on earth. We eavesdropped on a forum that brought together a
panel of journalists as they debated the issue - just how important
is it for world events to be seen and reported through Australian
eyes? And to round things off we go BASE jumping.
