ABC Radfio National - upcoming events

 

The ABC's Radio National has its own engrossing website at https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=wm#inbox/13daf0f223f23ccd It is full of interesting topics and programs, so I've just plucked two out to whet your appetite.

Big Ideas for Australia:  A special Big Ideas forum on Friday 12 April at the ABC in Brisbane will explore the merit—or otherwise—of developing northern Australia. It's the first in a series called Big Ideas for Australia to be broadcast on Radio National over the coming months. To register your attendance, follow the link. This is a free event. For those not in Brisbane, you can hear the discussion on Big Ideas on Monday 15 April.

RN's Book Club:  Get reading now, in time for our next meeting on Thursday 25 April when we discuss the next book on our list of ten American Classics: Steinbeck'sThe Grapes of Wrath.
