India Insight: Medicine, Profit and Dharma - Encounter - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
This week Encounter checks out the state of medical ethics in India and the resources Hinduism has to offer for thinking through some of Indiaâs contemporary medical ethics issues. From the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics to a remote rural hospital run by followers of Swami Vivekananda, a picture emerges of many challenges, some of which have an Australian connection.

Billy Bragg - The Music Show - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Billy Bragg came to attention as an anti-Thatcher, folk-punk agitator and then retraced folk music’s steps and embraced the poetry and songs of Woody Guthrie. He’s touring, talking, singing, mentoring and tweeting during this visit to Australia. One of his latest preoccupations is what will replace the quick agit prop folk song. Is it hip hop or social media and will it make you cry like like Levi Stubbs Tears?

Robert Macfarlane on walking - Saturday Extra - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Robert Macfarlane travels the ancient walking tracks of Britain: paths such as the Broomway, a passage of sand and mud flats on the Essex coastline that connects the mainland to an island oddly known as Foulness. It’s a track that has claimed many lives over the centuries, as the tides comes in faster than a person can run.

The end of Ponzi profits
Have we spent too much for too long ? Are the clever financial instruments that were supposed to prop up the system starting to buckle? According to economist Satyajit Das we’re in a botox economy where things have been desperately covered up to conceal the truth. Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy, he says, are just the front carriages in an impending financial train wreck. Also on board, he believes, are all the world’s major economies. It’s a pessimistic and sobering perspective on the consequences of too much debt.

The 100 Year Starship
Dr. Mae Jemison was the first black woman in space. Now, she’s leading a wildly ambitious project: to achieve interstellar travel in the next 100 years. She’s with us.
Think Star Trek and you won’t be far off. A new Pentagon project is putting out seed money for interstellar travel. Humans, rambling around among the stars. It’s called the 100 Year Starship project. It’s as wildly ambitious as just about anything you can imagine.
The spaceship, its energy source, its passengers’ survival – full-blown or just as DNA… all giant challenges. Not to mention that we’re sort of broke and not even flying space shuttles right now. Leader of the new effort: astronaut Mae Jemison, the first black woman in space. She’s with us.
This hour, On Point: the 100 Year Starship.
