This is a story about two men and a little baby ... well, a big baby actually. And the two<br />
men aren’t just any two men. Both of the baby fathers began their lives as girls. Their<br />
journey through conception, pregnancy and childbirth is both exceptional and<br />
mundane, both universal and unique. Although the narrative is familiar, this particular<br />
"birth story" challenges conventional ideas about sex and gender. (The small person<br />
acquisition project – CBC/SRC, Canada). In the mythology and ancient texts of India, the<br />
idea of a third gender has always existed. This radio piece is a poetic encounter with<br />
members of the Hijra community, the sacred trans-sexual community in India.<br />
Translated from Tamil, Kannada, and Hindi, the Hijras' words and texts take us to the<br />
heart of the complex and multiple site of identity. Game of mirrors, sound object in<br />
kaleidoscopic form, on the boundary between documentary and hörspiel, a journey to<br />
the frontier of Gender.. (Hijras diaries-Transgender journal of a Hijra family – SRF,<br />
France). Booze tells four different stories on four different people and whom all have<br />
checked into the rehab center, "Tranegaarden", situated in the countryside.Karen is a 54<br />
year old divorcee and is a schoolteacher. She lives alone in a small row house in Aarhus.<br />
Her daughter, Helen, returns from South Africa and finds Karen drunk at home. Helen<br />
calls Bo, a therapist, who succeeds in luring Karen to check into the Tranegaarden; this<br />
is done by using a bottle of vodka ("Booze" – DR, Denmark). This play consists of two<br />
interwoven stories. The first, relates to a successful couple who are struggling to<br />
conceive a child through IVF; the second is the story of a married couple who are<br />
travelling to Switzerland where assisted suicide is permitted. In this sensitive play, light<br />
is cast upon the human journey for two couples wrestling with very contemporary moral<br />
dilemmas. (Begotten not made – RTÉ, Ireland). Emma has started a new job. Her boss, a<br />
nameless manager, demands that she provide regular accounts of what she does and<br />
how she feels in her life. Although these discussions appear to take the form of friendly<br />
and informal chats, Emma soon realizes that everything within the company is very<br />
strictly regulated. Emma falls in love. She breaks the cardinal rule – no love affairs<br />
between colleagues – and the nightmare begins.Young British playwright Mike Bartlett<br />
describes a simple scenario that takes a delicate issue to extremes. How much can a<br />
company expect from its employees And how much are they prepared to reveal about<br />
themselves. (Contractions – SRG/SSR/IDEE SUISSE, Switzerland). Alan Dein follows<br />
the lives of two brothers, Alex, searching for a fresh start away from London gangs, and<br />
his adoptive brother, JJ, who’s poised for success on the London stage. (Lives in a<br />
landscape: between brothers – BBC, United Kingdom).<br />
Change in Today’s World<br />
Giving out tickets behind the office window on the toll road, working as a stewardess on<br />
an inland flight, scaffolding on a construction sight, for a Dutch person travelling<br />
through the USA, it is surprising to see the amount of elderly people at work, who, in<br />
our country, would have retired long before. In the US, a quarter of women between 65<br />
and 69 years old and one third of the men in this age group all work. (Old America –<br />
NPO, Netherlands). This is a prison with no confining walls, without bars on the<br />
windows and where the inmates are free to come and go as they please, including to the<br />
beach that is part of the premises. The "Casabianda" detention center – an ex-penal<br />
colony located 70 kilometers from Bastia on the eastern coast of Corsica, accommodates<br />
up to 194 inmates, most of whom sentenced for sexual crimes or offenses. This<br />
establishment, the only one of its kind in France, shows that a different sort of prison is<br />
possible. (Beyond the walls – SRF, France). "Kongshavn" is a radio drama like you've<br />
never heard before. It’s fast, it’s hard-boiled, it’s about a political tug of war, prying<br />
media, love and the war in Afghanistan. But above all, it’s about the Ross family. Elise,<br />
is a politician aspiring to be a minister. Her husband, Otto, runs the family recycling<br />
company with a rough hand. Together they have three children: Martin is about to<br />
