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 eves-dropped 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.

BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda setting,
current affairs radio documentary. This week: "BioWar".
America has beefed up biological weapon research by US$6 billion;

drive to acquire? [%]

repercussions and won Norman Swan some of the highest awards in
journalism. But would he do it again? And what happens to those who
blow the whistle? [T;%]

THE NATIONAL INTEREST - Terry Lane looks at the major issues of
the week. This week: "The Brogden affair/ Queensland's other new
Senator/ The CSIRO washing machine". Political journalist Andrew West

Liberal Senator Russell Trood who gave the Coalition its upper house
majority. Dr Trood is an interational relations specialist and he

place in the world. Finally, research by the CSIRO to make a better

BIG IDEAS - lectures, conversations, features and special
series from Australia and around the world. This week: "Music And
Fashion--#5 - The Colour Of Money. Sound recordings, radio and
television have completely changed the way we hear music. They've
also affected our responses. For one thing, fashions move in and out
of our lives faster than ever before. An instant hit in January is
seldom a hit in June. In the 1940s, classical music was part of
mainstream radio. The expression 'popular classics' wasn't an
oxymoron. But as commercial music became multinational, not only
classical music but also jazz lost its popularity. Could we possibly
be witnessing the death throes of certain types of music, simply
because powerful corporations have convinced us they are
unfashionable? [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;%]
