[Swprograms] Podding Along - Issue 20

[John Figliozzi <jfiglio1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In addition to via the websites referenced, these podcasts generally are made available through several other popular internet sources such as iTunes and TuneIn.  Over the next few issues, the fine and truly unique programming Of ABC-RN, a/k/a Radio National, the ABC's ideas network will be more prominently featured as a demonstration of the creative, intelligent and carefully crafted programming that will be sorely missed--indeed, eliminated--from the radio airwaves and bitstreams should the current Australian government's campaign against public service broadcasting reach its intended fruition.

THE MEDIA REPORT - ABC RN
Reporting Grisly Images from the Islamic State (IS)
How much is too much when it comes to showing explicit, gruesome images of Islamic State killings? Should media protect us from the brutal nature of their campaign or are these things we in the West need to see? (29')

BY DESIGN - ABC RN
RMITs The Future is Here with Alex Newson; Design File - architect turned innovative entrepreneur; Surveyor Hoddle and how he shaped Melbourne
We’re in an age of great transformation, with the boundaries between the consumer, manufacturer and designer is increasingly being blurred.  Instead of buying that new part you need to replace that missing bit from your remote control – you could 3D print it instead, at home. Young architect uses his training in design to create an innovative green-energy company. Turning used coffee beans into energy.  In 1837 a surveyor named Robert Hoddle was sent from Sydney to the mouth of the Yarra, charged with the duties of laying out what would become the city of Melbourne. (23')

FUTURE TENSE - ABC RN
Reality Check: The "Sharing" Economy
It sounds warm, fluffy and ethical - the ‘sharing economy’ - an alternative to turbo-driven commerce.  But how many of the businesses who market themselves under that banner are genuine in their desire to change the way capitalism works, to make it more inclusive, rewarding and less about simple profit?  In this episode, we take a reality check on the modern ‘sharing’ ethos – how much of it is about empowerment, and how much of it is simply about driving down overheads and employment conditions under the guise of social good? (29')
