programs dropped.]
(RA or ABC News every hour on the hour)
Weekdays
0010 -
Tue.: THE SCIENCE SHOW - with Robyn Williams. This week: “Silent
Witness". We meet Tony Brown, a forensic botanist. He uses his
knowledge of plants to catch murderers. One of the most spectacular
cases was his exposure of the reburials at Srebrenica, Bosnia where
7,000 men had been massacred. [%]
Wed.: THE NATIONAL INTEREST - Terry Lane looks at the major issues of
the week. This week: "US Election; Potholes on the Third Way". First,
Lane will be joined by political scientist Professor Iva Deutchman to
talk about the US Presidential election. Then Dr Paul Skidmore from the
British think-tank Demos will discuss the problems caused to Prime
Minister Tony Blair by the war in Iraq, and what this means for the
politics of the Third Way in Britain.[%]
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "Music of the
Blogospheres". There's yet another paradigm shift in the new
technologies: it's called 'Podcasting', and cuts out advertisers,
commercial DJs, and program directors. Young people order what they
want, and get it free, as Stan Correy reports. [T;%]
Fri.: HINDSIGHT - social history. This week: "Port Arthur". We trace
Port Arthur's history from a prison to working village, to a premier
tourist attraction and heritage icon, where ghosts jostle for space
with a steady stream of tourist buses amid the nation's
most tantalising ruins. [%]

0130 -
Mon.: HEALTH REPORT - with Norman Swan. This week: "The Protective
Role of Legumes in the Diet". Researchers recently published a study
which concluded that a higher legume intake is the most important
dietary predictor of survival amongst the elderly, regardless of their
ethnicity. [T;%]
Tue.: LAW REPORT - with Damien Carrick. This week: "Prison Economies".
Just how valuable an asset can a prison be to regional communities? As
more prisons are being built away from major cities there’s ongoing
debate about who benefits. Is it just prisoners who are closer to their
families, or do struggling towns get a financial leg up on the back of
what some are seeing as a new industry? [T;%]

Tue.: EARTHBEAT - environmental issues raised by economic development
with Jackie May. This week: "Expanding the Conservation Estate on
Private Land". Australia's unique natural heritage can't be protected
without increasing the number of private reserves. We examine how
America's premier private conservation body is working with our leading
NGO's to help get the job done here. [T]

Australia.

Suburbia". Most Australians think of 'the bush' as the heart of the

surrounding the major cities. This episode examines the quirky
Australian dream of owning a home in order to spend as much time as
possible living outdoors. [%;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.: David Liebman is passionate, compassionate, feisty, highly
intelligent, adventurous and romantic. You don't need to meet him or
read anything to discover that: his music tells you! One of the
saxophone’s living treasures – most especially the soprano sax {look
right and you’ll see Dave with his 'straight' horn) is also a leading
music educator and keen thinker. A worldly, well-traveled New Yorker,
he reaches far beyond both America and most people’s definitions of
jazz. We celebrate his visit to Australia (see below for details) via
several recent recordings, most especially Gathering of Spirits – a
saxophone summit with Michael Brecker and Joe Lovano.
Wed.: In 1975, English folk pioneer Peter Bellamy began writing a
folk ballad opera based on the lives of first fleet convicts Henry
Cabell and Susannah Holmes. ‘The Transports’ was recorded in 1977 with
a stellar cast of English folkdom and has been performed on stage many
times since. When the record company that first put it out re-emerged
from dormancy into the CD era, they released the original record,
accompanied by a lavish 130 page book and a second CD of entirely new
recordings of The Transports including Steve Tilston, Coope Boyes &
Simpson and members of Fairport Convention.
Thu.: Fiddler Magazine believes Darol Anger has been on 'the front
edge of progressive acoustic music' more often than any other fiddler.
Republic of Strings is the debut CD by the San Franciscan's latest
group. The American Fiddle Ensemble has some notable guests, but at
core is a quartet. Brittany Haas is its young, second fiddler, Rushad
Eggleston its 'maverick' cellist and Scott Nygaard the spectacularly
deft flat-picking acoustic guitarist. Included are original
instrumentals by Anger, tunes from African, Brazilian, North American
and Irish sources and songs authored by Joni Mitchell and Stevie Wonder.
Fri.: Israel ‘Cachao’ Lopez pioneered the Cuban jam session or
‘descarga’ in the '50s and was one of the architects of the mambo in
the 1930s. A prodigious double bassist (Jaco Pastorius called Cachao
"the greatest"), he is also a prolific composer. Cachao and his brother
Orestes wrote over 3,000 ‘danzones’ alone. Born in Cuba in 1918 and
based in the USA since 1963, ‘Ahora Si!’ ('Now Yes!') finds him still
at the top of his form, leading a fine crew of Latin Jazz musicians
through changuis, rumbas and, of course, mambos and descargas.
