[Swprograms] Fwd: Background Briefing's Summer Program

["Richard Cuff" <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

Of possible interest to SWPROGRAMS members -- this is one of the best
documentary series in international broadcasting.

Times shown below are local times for airings on ABC Radio National;
shortwave/webcast airtimes can be found on Kevin Kelly's Public Radio
Fan website -- see
http://www.publicradiofan.com/cgi-bin/program.pl?programid=806.

Shortwave air time is Sunday 0005; unfortunately not a good time for
propagation to eastern North America.

This is the "silly season" in Australia, as Christmas holidays
coincide with summer vacations, and much of the ABC shuts down since,
well, nothing much happens this time of the year.  If you regularly
listen to Radio Australia and note changes in schedule, please post
them here.
