Programme schedule for Thursday 24 May - Friday 1 June 2012
Times and frequencies for your region
Welcome to our weekly guide to Radio Netherlands Worldwide's English Service - a list of the new programmes coming up on Radio Netherlands Worldwide this coming week, beginning on Saturday.
The list includes first airings of RNW's main features. The programmes are repeated throughout the week. Times are in UTC.
THURSDAY 24 MAY
14:00 South Asia Wired
On this week's show you'll hear how sand is creating politically relevant art in the Maldives. And we talk to Human Rights Watch about caste-based discrimination in India.
FRIDAY 25 MAY
00:00 Bridges with Africa
- The Dutch government is accused of sending refugees back to countries where they face death
- We visit the school that’s training Africa’s next generation of leaders in the art of good government
- Ladysmith Black Mambazo brings traditional Zulu music to a new generation.
03:00 Earth Beat
Ice cold
This week’s show is ice, ice baby and features bucket-loads of the stuff. We meet the ice obsessives, people for whom ice is their job, their way of life, their art. Making music with it, sculpting it or just immersing your body in it: ice is too cool for school.
SATURDAY 26 MAY
02:00 The State We're In
Rememberance
A Belgian artist from a family of Nazi collaborators talks about their epic journey on the run from the Allies. A Somali journalist remembers his arrest, imprisonment and the campaign that freed him. And a Dutchman suddenly recalls that he would’ve been sent to a concentration camp, had it not been for an extraordinary act of honesty.
SUNDAY 27 MAY
Another chance to hear programmes you may have missed earlier in the week.
MONDAY 28 MAY
01:00 European Jazz Stage
Are you packed and ready for a jazz vacation? We’ll touch down in northern Holland for Dr. Lonnie Smith and the Concertgebouw Jazz Orchestra, Then it's to Amsterdam for bassman Christian McBride and his Inside Straight. And finally we'll head to the famous Milky Way for the Ploctones – a “four-headed monster” that is Holland’s most successful band of the moment.
Taking you into a new, five-week season with RNW Music’s jazz programme is your host, Benjamin Herman.
17.30 Global Perspective
Who says we can’t be gay, Muslim, and successful?
Elkader is a small town in the center of the American Midwest. It’s not where you’d expect to find a gay couple starting an Algerian restaurant. But this town in Iowa was named after a 19th century Algerian jihadist. WAMU radio takes us to Elkader to see how the residents have found their way through the Islamophobia debate.
19:00 Africa in Progress
No sex no fish
Offering sex is often the only way for women traders to buy fish along many of Africa's shores. Auma, a 21 year old single mother, has sex with fishermen in order to get the best catch of the day, a practice known in the local language as 'jaboya'.
In this edition we find out what effect it is having in the communities along the shores of Lake Victoria.
Guests: Dr. Gilcrest Lokoel , Jennifer Kere, Alice Nyimbae, Auma

Besides the classroom trainings, there are 350-040 lots of online training kits that will guide you in passing this exam. Most importantly, you must do lots of hands-on practices especially in configuring, 642-357 managing and maintaining the system.
It is unfortunate that due to budget cuts a gateway to real news and great music has to come to an end. Thank you for all the years of broadcasting.
How I pray to get RNW on the FM band. I know you don't need to be God to answer that prayer.
I'm afraid RNW does not broadcast on FM band. But here is a link to how you can receive our programmes: http://www.rnw.nl/english/article/times-and-frequencies
Keep working ,great activity.
It is very interesting to listen to radio netherland.It opens up a new and wonderful world of information before us.It reveals what anti-socials want to conceal.It plunges even an ordinary man in to the realm of thought.It is not only thought-provoking but also an eye-opener.The music sandwiched between programmes are really rejuvenating.We expect more and more....

Hi Nicholas,
Unfortunately, because these programmes were produced by a variety of different international broadcasters, we do not have the original audio files here.
I am a big fan. Just stopping by to say thanks!
