miriam_eBackground Briefing broadcasts an extraordinary program again. It is an analysis of what might happen in Iraq after a war.
The transcript will be on the http://www.abc.net.au/rn/talks/bbing/ site on Thursday and the audio file should be up there by then too. For those here in Australia the program is repeated on Radio National 621kHz AM radio at 7:10pm on Tuesday. Those outside Australia can either wait till Thursday or listen online to the rebroadcast at http://www.abc.net.au/rn/ (click on the "Listen live now" link).
I like to trick the streaming audio into saving as a file on my computer, then convert the terrible RealAudio format into the more standard and more compact mp3 format.
They always keep 4 weeks of past program's audio online. Last week's episode was a real eyeopener too. They also keep an archive of years of back-episodes of transcripts at http://www.abc.net.au/rn/talks/bbing/index/bbchronoidx.htm too.
I notice the whole Princeton University talk on Why Societies Collapse by Jared Diamond is still online at http://www.abc.net.au/rn/talks/bbing/mod/jared_diamond.ram
That is the full talk -- more complete than what was originally broadcast on Background Briefing. Do listen -- it is very informative.
