The Fight Over Fracking

http://www.rdmag.com/Community/Blogs/RDBlog/Energy-Natural-Gas-The-fight-over-fracking/   "Netflix is wonderful for the mailbox. Alongside bills, credit card offers and a never-ending stream of fat magazines, that familiar red-and-white envelope holds the promise of an hour or two of mindless entertainment. Inevitably, though, for every dumb movie or stand-up comedy, I feel obligated to add a documentary, exposé, or heart-wrenching Oscar-winner. The latest was Gasland, which sat on the shelf unwatched for some weeks until I heard it mentioned on the radio during my morning commute. I got what I expected; a Michael Moore-esque “j’accuse” laced with free-form cinematography and folk music."

Late Night Live -- Interview with Kurt Vonnegut

"In this interview, Kurt Vonnegut talks about his experience with depression and how he came to have such a low estimation of humanity. 'And so it goes' - a line from 'Slaughterhouse Five', is also one he uses often, particularly when reflecting on the key event in his life - the fire-bombing of Dresden, and the pointlessness of this strategy as a way of trying to bring an end to the war. For his epithet he thought he would choose: "The only proof we needed of the existence of God was music". Kurt Vonnegut died aged 84 on 13th April, 2007. Originally broadcast on 26/10/2005."http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/latenightlive/late-night-live-summer---kurt-vonnegut/3678034

Philosopher's Zone: "The trials and tribulations of private Bradley Manning"

http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/philosopherszone/the-trials-and-tribulations-of-private-bradley-manning/3719844"We’ve heard a lot in recent times about the legal wrangles of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange but there is another Wikileaker facing life in prison who has been given much less attention: Private Bradley Manning. Bradley Manning is accused of leaking thousands of classified defence documents and faces life in prison if found guilty. Over two hundred legal scholars and philosophers have signed a petition claiming his treatment has been unconstitutional and unethical. This week we look at the literal trials and tribulations of Bradley Manning."

Economic outlook 2012

"What is Australia’s economic outlook for the coming year? Australia weathered the economic turmoil of 2011, despite being buffeted by the European debt crisis, the slow US recovery and a series of damaging natural disasters at home. But some sectors, including retail and manufacturing, are struggling. So will 2012 be more economically stable? What challenges will the economy face next year?"  http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/australiatalks/australia-talks-december-12/3696028
