[Swprograms] Tracking down Dutch Horizons

[Glenn Hauser <wghauser@xxxxxxxxx>]

** NETHERLANDS [non]. Sat Feb 24 at 1501, RN was putting in a good signal via
Madagascar, on 12080, opening a program about an artist. Sounded quite
interesting, but did not have time to listen for a semihour, so made a note to
catch it ondemand later. But what show was it? Checking the weekly programme
preview newsletter for Feb 23, nothing about it! I had to go back to the
previous week`s newsletter to find it listed under Thursday Feb 22:

``*** Dutch Horizons *** More than thirty years after his death, the work of
Dutch graphic artist MC Escher remains popular all around the world. His
woodprints and lithographs possess a unique quality that makes them instantly
recognisable. Where did he get the inspiration for his powerful black and white
landscapes, clever abstracts and mind-boggling metamorphoses? Join Bertine Krol
for a special edition of Dutch Horizons about MC Escher and find out.
 
Broadcast times on SW (UTC): 1027 (Asia/Far East/Pacific), 1227 
(Eastern N America), 1430 (South Asia), 1827 & 2000 (Africa), 0027 (Eastern N
America), 0127 (Central N America), 0527 (Western N America) Repeated: Wed 1500
(South Asia), Wed 1900 (Africa)``

Which DOES NOT mention this Saturday 1500 repeat! Wish RN would get its act
together on this. So I go to http://www.rnw.nl and figure it must be under the
Culture and History heading:
http://www.radionetherlands.nl/features/cultureandhistory/

No, not there! So I search on Escher, and see that the same show was originally
classified as a Documentary in June 2005, but now it`s Dutch Horizons. Was
hoping for some visuals to accompany, as, let`s face it, radio about the visual
arts cannot be left solely to the imagination; and there are some on this page
along with audio linx:

And a rather long article, a partial transcript? Plus the inevitable bloggy
comments by (only) a triad of listeners (Glenn Hauser, OK, DX LISTENING DIGEST)
