Mon.: IN CONVERSATION - about scientific matters. This
week: "Sceptical On Warming". Geologist Professor Bob Carter of James
Cook University talks about a massive ocean drilling scheme that’s
revealing priceless information about climate history. Why has
Australia left the scheme? [%]
Tue.: OCKHAM'S RAZOR - sharp commentary about science.
This week: "Science in Support of Combat Ration Packs". Imagine you
are in the armed services. You could be at sea, or knee-deep in mud,
or in hot, humid conditions, waiting to be shot at. You take a break
for a meal but what does it taste like? We hear about the science of
creating army ration packs. [T;%]
Wed.: LINGUA FRANCA - looking at all aspects of language.
This week: "Etymology For Everyone". Robert Dessaix on etymologist
Anatoly Liberman's book: Word Origins...and How We Know Them. [T;%]
Thu.: THE ARK - curious moments in religious history that
shatter the usual perception of the past and illuminate the present.
This week: "The Sexy Epic of Gilgamesh". Almost 5000 years old, the
Epic of Gilgamesh has long interested
biblical scholars because of its version of the Flood story. It's
also a racy tale of sex and friendship that’s been given new
life with a poetic translation by Stephen Mitchell. [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 3. The final part of
this series looks at the forces driving cancer screening and at some
new and interesting ideas about how people might make their own
decision about which cancers, if any, they want to be screened for.
[T;%]
Tue.: LAW REPORT -with Damien Carrick.
<abc.net.au/rn/talks/8.30/lawrpt/> for details. [T;%]
Wed.: RELIGION REPORT - with Stephen Crittenden.

[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--#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;%]
Tue.: SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: "What
Happens to the Whistleblowers?" Over thirty years of broadcasting the
Science Show has exposed many irregular activities at our
universities and research institutions, from the accusations of
scientific fraud directed at Dr William McBride to the more recent
turbulence around Dr Bruce Hall. They have had remarkable
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;%]
Wed.: PACIFIC FOOTSTEPS - a co-production between ABC and
the BBC World Service marking the 60th anniversary of the end of the
Pacific War. It presents snapshots of the Solomon Islands, Papua New
Guinea, the Philippines and the Northern Mariana Islands, four
countries in which Americans, Australians, Japanese and indigenous
people fought and suffered great hardship during World War Two. This
week: Program One: "Wisdom of The Solomons". The Solomon Islands was
the most distant territory reached by Japanese forces in the great
Pacific war. They were stopped short by the battles of Guadalcanal
and the Coral Sea. The Solomons have never supported themselves since
independence from Britain (in 1978) though many people hoped they
might live up to their description as 'The Friendly Islands', and be
taken seriously by the global tourist industry. Shark-callers, scuba-
diving, tropical reefs, volcanoes, dense jungles, exotic birds and
fish and colourful local culture – the Solomons have everything the
modern tourist demands. (***** NEW SERIES)
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting,
current affairs radio documentary program. This week: "BioWar".
America has beefed up biological weapon research by US$6 billion;
11,000 people now have hands-on access to virulent biological
agents. Scientists and analysts question the sanity of this strategy,
especially as it has been established that the anthrax used in the
biological attacks following September 11 was made in a US military
facility. [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: "Grieg's Peer Gynt". A few of the pieces Grieg
wrote as incidental music to Ibsen's Peer Gynt are very well-known,
but there is much more music than the few movements which appear in
the suites. In this program, Graham will take you through the story
of the play and discuss some of the lesser-known parts of Grieg's
extensive incidental music. [T;%]

Mon.: "Suicide". John Brogden's apparent suicide bid is
indicative of a widespread phenomenon - men between the ages of 25
and 44 are most at risk of taking their own lives - accounting for
50% of all suicides in Australia. So how do we deal with this serious
problem?

issues of the week. This week: "The Brogden affair/ Queensland's
other new
Senator/ The CSIRO washing machine". Political journalist Andrew West
discusses the Brogden affair, media ethics and factionalism in the
NSW Liberal Party. Also the 'other' new Senator from Queensland. The
Nationals Barnaby Joyce has been grabbing the headlines but it was
Liberal Senator Russell Trood who gave the Coalition its upper house
majority. Dr Trood is an interational relations specialist and he
joins Terry to talk about globalisation, terrorism and Australia's
place in the world. Finally, research by the CSIRO to make a better
washing machine and keep Australia's whitegoods manufacturers viable.
Tue.: AWAYE! - produced and presented by Aboriginal
broadcasters and is Australia's only national Indigenous arts and
culture program. This week: "Genographic Project". Part two of our
special on the privately-funded Genographic Project, which is
attempting to map human migratory history over the past 60,000 years
by analysing the DNA of Indigenous people. Debra Harry from the
Indigenous People's Council on Biocolonialism explains why her
organisation is campaigning to stop the project altogether. [%]
Wed.: PACIFIC FOOTSTEPS (refer to 0405)
1130 -
Wed.: ALL IN THE MIND - the mind, brain and behaviour with

infertility. [%]

water with cow dung and how wallaby research may have implications
for human health. [T;%]
Tue.: 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 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.

country Australia.
