Improving the world through design - Sundays - ABC
Scott Spark was on your radio for the last Sundaysin 2013 and in the New Year’s resolution spirit he was asking, "how can we make the world a better place?" A lot of us think we know how to make the world around us a better/safer/more sensible place to live in but, not many of us actually do anything about it enacting the change we want to see. Well, not usually much more than grumble to friends and family. By contrast, TRISTAN COOKE and TOM NELSON are two young lads who are living on different sides of the world and…

Part Four - Your ABC: heritage, change, convergence, and the road ahead - Special Broadcasts - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
In this hour, how has the ABC interacted with its audiences since its inception in 1932? In the early years, it came in the form of live concerts, performed to a studio audience and broadcast direct to air and, from the outset, there were always programs which relied on listener correspondence. Its education programs were devised to be participatory in schoolrooms around the country, and its English language broadcasts, created for the large influx of migrants who came to Australia after the Second World War, attempted to re-create a one-to-one language lesson between teacher and student. Interaction and a sense of community combined with education and entertainment was the key to the long-running and extremely popular Argonauts program for children (who joined the program’s club) which connected listeners right around the country.
The internet, and the consequent development of ABC online, has extended and transformed the ways in which audiences now participate with the ABC. From its news and current affairs online sites, to its virtual community hubs such as Pool and ABC Open, even its traditional platforms, like talk radio and television programs, have been shaped by the new media technologies—today talkback radio incorporates as many phone text messages and emails as it does telephone calls from listeners, and television programs like Q&A have pioneered the incorporation of audience participation using new technology.
In this segment: the ABC’s role during emergencies and natural disasters, and its long record of ground-breaking investigative journalism. It is this latter part of the organisation’s story that, for some observers of the ABC and for media analysts, is most at risk of being eroded. This issue is examined, along with other questions, in a discussion about the future of the national public broadcaster.

Part Two - Telling it how it is: truth, taste and testimony - Special Broadcasts - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
The speech heard on radio and television was initially the preserve of professionals and generally scripted. Unscripted discussion, loosely the form which is a well entrenched part of most radio today, began on the ABC during the Second World War. But the speakers who end up on the radio, and what they have to say, has sometimes been a contentious issue for the ABC. And, for the national public broadcaster, it has not only been about what can and cannot be uttered, but also about the accent, the sound of the spoken word. In this segment we explore how language has been a central issue throughout the ABC’s 80 years—from pronunciation and grammar to questions of obscenity, censorship, and freedom of speech.
Guests:
Richard Buckham, Network Manager, ABC Classic FMNorman May, veteran ABC Sports broadcaster
Meredith Burgmann, former leader of the NSW Legislative Council
Robyn Archer, singer, writer, creative director of Centenary of Canberra (2013) and artistic director of The Lights in Winter (Melbourne)

Part One - On the air: voices, music, news and views - Special Broadcasts - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
The ABC’s on-air history is made up of words, mostly spoken words, uttered by thousands of guests and presenters. From its inception in 1932, Australia’s national public broadcaster has also been the subject of discussion and debate. The nature of broadcasting, and the ABC, are constantly changing—they’re a work in progress. Trying to keep ahead of the transformations and shifts in how the broadcast media is made, delivered and received is complex, and forecasting on the future of the media, and its nexus with technology is a serious business.
Over this afternoon, we’ll be looking back into the past and forward into the future of the ABC; the view is complicated by the fact that past, present and future don’t divide up neatly but, rather, they co-exist and overlap. In the first hour of this anniversary special speakers include historians, anthropologists, writers and broadcasters, along with some of the ABC’s multifaceted audience. Plus archival excerpts from popular programs, from education and music to dramas and documentaries.
Guests:
Dr Genevieve Bell, Cultural Anthropologist, Director, Intel Corporation Interaction and Experience ResearchKen Inglis, historian, author of This is the ABC
Professor Jock Given, Professor of Media and Communications, Institute of Social Research, Swinburne University
Shane Maloney, author
Lindy Burns, Presenter, Evenings, 774 ABC Melbourne
Dr Michelle Arrow, Historian, Macquarie University

What About Humility? - Sundays - ABC
Humility is a quality we don’t really value. In a competitive world, being humble almost means being left behind. But for John Dickson, humility is a very important quality and practised by the world’s great leaders. He’s written a book on the subject and chats about it with James O’Loghlin. Listen to John Dickson Discuss Humility
