But while we have experienced how sound can enrich our lives, it can also move those who create it through a healing journey to a better place.

	01-2008 Raise those voices high - Radio New Internationalist While countries that proudly claim to be 'democracies' are supposed to bask in the beauty of different voices and ideas, the reality seems quite different. All too often, its small pockets of people pushing limited agendas that get access to reporters, policy makers and politicians. In fact, the only time that the voices of most people are clearly heard by those in power is through the ballot box - and even then in some countries they're robbed of that chance...

	The Dirt on Nuclear - New Internationalist It used to be that ‘No-way!’ and nuclear belonged in the same sentence. But as the international community scrambles for solutions to address the problems associated with climate change, now we’re being told that nuclear energy is clean and green. Pacific commentator and campaigner Nic Maclellan joins today’s team to dish up the very extensive pile of dirt on the nuclear alternative: the problems of waste that won’t go away; the world-wide radioactive fallout from operational plants to...

	Common Senses - Radio New Internationalist Common senses While mainstream media steer a hard right away from good news stories, the everyday ‘wins’ of ordinary people are getting ignored. As a consequence, opportunities to be inspired by and learn from the victories of progressive people in other countries get lost. This program showcases progressive people who are using common senses to get their messages across: people presenting their messages through our five bodily senses – taste, sight, hearing, touch and smell – in a way t...

Many communities are so resigned to this spin-doctoring that governments and officials who get caught-out lying still get elected.

	Soundbites - Atiq Rahman - New Internationalist WhileHurricane Gustav swirled through the front pages of our media, the hundreds of deaths caused by extreme winds in the last month around the Caribbean and in Asia rated barely a mention. Floods in India and Bangladesh – while receiving better media coverage – claimed nothing like the space devoted to Gustav’s impact on the United States.

	Chocolate - Radio New Internationalist This program's full of tasty treats. It's all about chocolate. Luscious and lovely, it's a product that's starting to light up the fair trade lists. Sweet and satisfying, it's been hailed over the centuries as a sexual stimulant. But when it comes to chocolate desserts, there's little that's just.

	Cyber Crimes - Radio New Internationalist Next time you're downloading a film or music through the internet, spare a thought for Hew Griffiths, 44 years old, unemployed and now languishing in a jail half a world away from his home. Unlike most of the other inmates, he's not there for doing drugs, theft or assault. Rather, his crime was to belong to a group that cracked security codes of some of the United States' biggest media moguls, giving group members access to software and games that - if downloaded - could have been accessed free ...

	Democratic Conventions - Radio New Internationalist Now that products are being pumped out into already saturated markets, it's not surprising that the culture that capitalism creates is centred on: 'Me! Me! More! More!'. For many, life's main goal has become: 'The one with the most toys wins'. We often hear how soul-destroying this culture can be. But what does it do for our political structures? The rich terrain that we're tilling in this program is whether capitalism is cultivating democracy, or killing it...

	Kiss My Bottom Line - Radio New Internationalist Throughout the last decade, companies have told us that they want to be lean as well as green. The mad, bad days when corporations were only on about money and shareholders is over, they say. An aggressive corporate culture must be combined with community spirit; profit must not dominate the public interest. About time!

	Pulp Friction - Radio New Internationalist Whether you're living in the Rich World or Poor World, pulp is probably producing problems for people not too far from you. We're continuing to destroy trees that eat carbon dioxide – one of the main greenhouse gases. There’s also a litany of other problems that follow the plantations that are grown to replace old growth – the loss of food-supplies for the surrounding communities; the pollution of local water supplies; the promise of jobs at paper mills that only a few will ever get; and t...

	The Deepest Scar - Radio New Internationalist Undoubtedly acts of torture are shocking. How could anyone extract information from others by breaking their back or boiling them alive? But the real horror exposed by this program is not so much the acts themselves but the complicity of Western Governments - and the leaders and officials in them who hold themselves out as supporters of human rights - in obtaining information through such methods. Down in The Grave in Syria and the countless other cells where thousands have been sent for forcefu... Keywords: radio; ni; new internationalist Downloads: 153 Average rating: (0 review)
	Tribal Revival - Radio New Internationalist Guess which country the Radio New Internationalist team is talking about today? Its indigenous people - still struggling for rights to their land and resources - often live in shanty communities overrepresented by the unemployed, drug addicted, and alcoholic. Fringe-dwellers, they die much earlier than non-indigenous people, and suffer a range of chronic health problems. Many non-indigenous people say that these people need to be integrated into mainstream society, but the standard of education ...

When the Government of the Czech Republic ignored the overwhelming majority of its people who oppose the United States’ ballistic missile defence radar base being built on their soil, two men from the No-Bases Initiative started a hunger strike in protest. One of those strikers, Jan Tamáš, talks about how his individual protest morphed into a rolling campa... Keywords: ni; new internationalist Downloads: 142 Average rating: (0 review)

For, as Reed explains: 'you kill one person, you go to jail. If you kill 40 people, they put you in an insane asylum. But if you kill 40,000 people, you get a comfortable exile with a bank account in another country, and that's what we want to change.'
