[%]
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "The SARS Story". SARS
hasn’t gone away, and it's still teaching scientists and politicians a
great deal about epidemics. Better laboratories, better training, and
political will are some of the keys to containment. But the great
danger remains influenza. [T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history with Jennifer Bowen. This week: "The
French Connection". In the last decade of the 18th century, a group of
French expeditioners, led by Captain Bruni D'Entrecasteaux, sought
shelter in a deep bay on the south-east coast of Tasmania. This is the
story of the time that they spent there, the scientific and botanical
work that they undertook, and their meeting with the Indigenous Palawa
people. [%]
0110 -
ASIA PACIFIC (refer to 2310) [T;%]
0130 -
Mon.: HEALTH REPORT - with Norman Swan. This week: "Racing Hearts".
You’re fit, young and healthy and you like to play sport. Then one day
out on the field, your heart begins to race, you feel dizzy…and then
everything goes black. We meet the heart doctor who’s searching for
what he calls “killer genes” so he can help these people and their
families before it’s too late. [T;%]
Tue.: LAW REPORT - with Damien Carrick. This week: "The Trial of
Saddam Hussein; Equal Opportunity in the Workplace". The trial of
Saddam Hussein – how exactly will it work? And what are the potential
pitfalls. Also 25 years since the ground-breaking equal opportunity
decision of Lawrie and Ansett Airlines – what legal battles are still
being fought by women fighting for a discrimination-free workplace?

confront other similar, predominantly Indigenous communities. Democrats

Mon.: OCKHAM'S RAZOR - sharp talk about science. This week: "About
Genes, Memes, the Mind and Learning". There was a time when it was
accepted that the mind of a child was a 'blank slate'. Today we know
that a child brings to school a mind crammed full with ideas, or
'memes' about the world. Educationalist and occasional film maker Don
Tinkler poses the question - if ideas can be little brain entities, can
we make better teachers by understanding the biology of how brains
work? [%]
Tue.: IN CONVERSATION - Robyn Williams talks to scientists and those
interested in the subject, about what science has meant to their lives.
This week: "Jonathan Kingdon".
In his book, Lowly Origin, Jonathan Kingdon traces the rise of humans
from our ancestors. Our ability to walk on two legs is not only a
characteristic human trait but one of the things that made us human in
the first place. Today In Conversation with Robyn Williams he gives an
account of what it meant, and what it means, to walk on two feet. [%]
Wed.: LINGUA FRANCA - about language. This week: "Languages in East
Timor". The various languages of East Timor speak of the history of the
place. The official language is Portuguese, the national language is
Tetum, but fifteen other local dialects are spoken. Many young adults
were educated in Bahasa Indonesia, and now most want to learn English.
Language is a fiercely debated topic in this fledgling nation. From
East Timor, Sian Prior reports on the history and politics of language
in the two-year-old independent republic. Illiteracy rates are very
high, but what language or languages are children being taught at
school? And what happens to those who grew up under Indonesian rule
speaking Bahasa, who've never had a chance to learn Portuguese? [%]
Thu.: THE ARK - Rachael Kohn talks to some of the world's leading
religious historians and authors about curious moments in religious
history that shatter the usual perception of the past and illuminate
the present. This week: "Genghis Khan". To Muslims, Russians and
westerners he is a murderer of millions. Yet in his homeland of
Mongolia he is the revered father of his nation and is worshipped as a
demi-god. He ruled an empire four times the size of Alexander's, but
Genghis Khan, born in 1162, always knew he was destined for greatness
under "Eternal Heaven." [T;%]

someone selling life insurance or roof insulation. But as we become a
more technological society, what will that mean for the future of
direct marketing? Does there need to be stricter regulation?

The fridge is the most energy intensive appliance in the house and
generates greenhouse gases. In a move to slash emissions and help
low-income households, the Phoenix Project is giving the old Kelvinator
a new lease of life. [T]
Wed.: RURAL REPORTER - the people and places that make up country
Australia.
Thu.: DISTANT MIRRORS DIMLY LIT - a six-part radio series developed
and presented by Australian born classicist Peter Toohey. It examines
how the lives of the ancients relate to ours, through the exploration
of six contemporary themes: Anger, Privacy, Leisure, Depression, Family
and Memory. This week: "Memory". Memory is extraordinarily important to
us, it helps us define our identity. The Greeks and the Romans saw
memory in a completely different way. They wanted to reenact the past,
so that through memory (or better, through memorialisation) they could
make the present part of the past. We can tell how important memory is
to us by the number of books and magazine articles with the word memory
in their titles. What might drive us is our fear of loss of memory, and
with it the loss of a sense of self. Hence our anxieties in the face of
Alzheimer’s Disease, of recovered memory syndrome, of the loss of
indigenous rights, even of the loss of wilderness areas. We define our
identities by these things and their loss as a loss of self. What
happens to the future? And, can we say it was a healthier way to deal
with the passing of time? [T;%
(abc.net.au/rn/learning/lifelong/features/classics/)]
Fri.: THE CHAT ROOM* - presented by Heather Jarvis. The place to meet
people from the region living lives a little out of the ordinary. From
business, to sport, science and the arts. Community leaders and quiet
achievers. They drop in, share their stories and play a bit of music.
1205 -
Mon.-Thu.: LATE NIGHT LIVE - Phillip Adams hosts a discussion of

[abc.net.au/rn/talks/lnl/] for details. [%]

Wed.: Funding priority--Population health or bio-terrorism?
Thu.: The ideosyncratic brilliance of George Dreyfus.
Fri.: SOUND QUALITY - For 25 years, Tim Ritchie has been seeking out
music: the interesting, the evolutionary, the inaccessible and the
wonderful. [abc.net.au/rn/music/soundqlt/] for details and playlists.
[T;%]
1305 -
THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans with jazz, blues, folk styles, art music and
more in a show artfully arranged for radio.
[abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/] for playlists and further details. [T;%]
Mon.: It's "First Monday": when "The Planet" looks fondly back at
the best new releases of the month that just was. It's not just a
nostalgia trip: we always save some of the finest cuts for a debut
airing on this day.
Tue.: A fine arts graduate, he’s been a rat controller, carpenter,
Presidential favourite, & commercial failure in the music "biz".
Oklahoma-born, Nashville-resident songster, James Talley performed at
Jimmy Carter’s inauguration. Another notable admirer was John Hammond
Senior – the man who “discovered” Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan & Bruce
Springsteen. Now a successful real estate agent, Talley remains a foe
of rampant capitalism & a great songwriter. Music failed to provide his
livelihood but is still central to his life. At 60 Talley continues to
write excellent songs & is a potent performer of one of America’s finer
songbooks. “Journey” has songs old & new, performed with an excellent
little band, “live” in Italy. It won’t remind you of a real estate
manual! Imagine instead a latter-day, Woody Guthrie, but more melodious
& perhaps more shrewdly observant of (& comfortable with) actual,
so-called "ordinary" people.
Wed.: Esma Rezdepova is a Macedonian-born Rom-Jewish singer, a
two-time Nobel Peace Prize Nominee for her humanitarian work, which
includes making direct donations and raising money for those in need of
health care and education. She and her late husband Stevo Teod0sievski
adopted 47 boys and trained them all to be musicians! Her album 'Chaje
Shukarije: Queen of the Gypsies' is a lively and well-recorded set,
produced and arranged by klezmer trumpeter Frank London, who brought
together fine musicians from all over the world and Esma's ensemble
Teodosievski for this recording.
Thu.: As a teenager, his guitar skills were already exciting
blues-loving Australians. Over the following fifteen years, Jeff Lang
has caused increasing excitement, well beyond Australia. He’s developed
in every respect: as player, singer & writer of songs & as a performer.
Now in great demand at festivals worldwide, Lang is a phenomenal
fingerpicker & slide player, but he’s not one of those tedious guitar
show-offs. The blues are still there, but as just one element.
“Whatever Makes You Happy” is likely his best album yet: using the
possibilities a studio can offer, whilst retaining the edge, intimacy &
the “in-the-moment” quality which sets Lang apart from the merely
“deft” guitarists & the writers of merely “well-crafted” songs.
Fri.: Born in the Western Scottish island of Barra, Catherine-Ann
MacPhee is a warm voiced singer of Gaelic songs. After recording 3 fine
albums for the Greentrax label in the 90s, she moved to Canada and her
new album is her first new recording in a decade. It's called "Suil Air
Ais: Looking Back" and it's a collection of Ceilidh songs, Mouth Music,
and Hymns sung for dear friends who have passed away. Production is by
peerless Scottish guitarist Tony McManus, with fine musicians Mairi
MacInnes (backing vocals), Wendy Stewart (clarsach), Tony McManus
(guitars), Neil Martin (cello), Iain MacDonald (flute and small pipes)
and Ewen Vernal (bass).
