SPORT
0315 -
Mon.: IN CONVERSATION - about scientific matters. This week Michelle
Field is in conversation with Kathleen Taylor, who studies brains at
Oxford University. She's working on the biological basis of thought and
emotion. She says education is the teaching of people to use their
brains, to resist brain-washing messages, allowing us to think for
ourselves. Nevertheless, she's amazed at how often we fail to question
messages of advertisers, and governments. Her next task is to describe
belief in a biological way. It's simply a connection between neurons
and so we should be able to describe it. She says the privacy beneath
our skulls is the last frontier and is slowly being opened up. [%]
Tue.: OCKHAM'S RAZOR - sharp commentary about science. This week:
"The Alexander Technique". Teacher of the Alexander Technique, Rosslyn
McLeod from Adelaide, relates how an Australian actor, Frederick
Matthias Alexander, developed his technique because his promising
acting career became plagued by problems of muscular function
associated with breathing and voice use. [T;%]
Wed.: LINGUA FRANCA - looking at all aspects of language. This week:
"The Comic Language of 'Here's Luck'". The University of Western
Sydney’s Peter Kirkpatrick argues that “Here’s Luck”, 1930s journalist
Lennie Lower's bestselling comic novel about life in inner-suburban
Sydney, is an under-rated classic. Max Gillies reads excerpts. [T;%]
Thu.: THE ARK - curious moments in religious history that shatter the
usual perception of the past and illuminate the present. This week:
"Celts: Ancient or Modern?" What has become of the Celtic peoples whose
culture spanned Europe from the Atlantic to the Black Sea? Does the
current interest in Celtic nationalism, music and the arts signal the
beginning of a revival or the last flicker of a dying culture. Marcus
Tanner, author of The Last of the Celts, investigates Celtic history
and contemporary communities to come up with the answer. [T;%]
Fri.: TALKING POINT - the most interesting interviews covering a
diverse range of subjects from each day's domestic "Breakfast" program.

0331 -
Mon.: HEALTH REPORT - with Dr. Norman Swan. This week a special
feature on the placebo effect, focusing on one of the most
controversial treatments around - medication for depression. Professor
Helen Mayberg from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, has done
research in this area. She did brain scans of people taking an active
drug versus a placebo to see the placebo effect in action. [T;%]
Tue.: LAW REPORT -with Damien Carrick. This week: "Victims of Crime".
They say that even though they feel the brunt of criminal behaviour,
when it comes to the justice system they're on the outside. We speak
with victims of armed robbery about coping with the physical and mental
aftermath of a hold-up; their role in criminal investigations, and
getting access to crimes compensation. Do victims get a good deal out
of the justice system? [T;%]

there are still papers written by Einstein that haven’t been examined?
Kip Thorne of Caltech says “yes”. The renowned physicist also reviews
bets he’s laid about the universe with the likes of Stephen Hawking.
[T;%]
Wed.: SMART SOCIETIES - What will it take to be truly smart in the
21st century? In this education series young people and regional
specialists discuss a range of issues from international education to
creating liveable cities to being good corporate citizens. This week:
"Episode 5 - Smart and inclusive Societies". Australia and Canada take
pride in their multicultural societies. Representatives of Canada and
Australia’s large Chinese and Indian diasporas discuss their
experiences of migration and living in multicultural societies. [T;%]
Thu.: BACKGROUND BRIEFING - Radio National's agenda-setting, current
affairs radio documentary program. This week: "PETA and the Wool".
Boycotts against Australian wool because of mulesing have shocked the
woolgrowing industry, and growers are deeply divided about how to
handle it. Take them to court, shut them down - or hear them out and
negotiate? [T;%]
Fri.: KEYS TO MUSIC - Graham Abbott breaks down the barriers to
enjoying classical music for non-musicians, revealing basic concepts,
discussing composers and exploring pieces of music inside-out. This
week: "Moonlight Sonata". Graham looks in detail at Beethoven’s famous

us all ... and in an Alice Munro story, there are no happy endings! [%]
