Australia is a country where meat is our national icon — we commune around the barbie and love our meat pies. Yet, we also have some of the oldest vegetarian societies and earliest western animal cruelty laws. In the place of The World Today on Good Friday, James Carleton from Radio National's God Forbid philosopher Professor Rachel Ankeny, author Edgar Crook and theologian Professor David Clough to examine what we eat from cultural, ethical and historical perspectives.GUESTS:Rachel Ankeny is Chair and Professor of Philosophy at Wageningen University.Edgar Crook is author of "Abstainers! – a vegetarian and vegan history of Australia" and "Vegetarianism in Australia 1788 to 1948: A Cultural and Social History."David Clough is Chair in Theology and Applied Sciences at the University of Aberdeen.

As Israel and the United States continue their war with Iran, even promising to assassinate the new and hardline ayatollah, Pope Leo has emerged as a champion of international law. He's called for an immediate ceasefire. Tens of millions of people maybe hearing him, but does the leadership in Jerusalem, Washington and Tehran care? Leo understands the brutal history of Iran's regime, but he's worried about the strongest nations behaving as they choose, without restraint. What balance is he trying to strike? This week, as part of the ABC's look at the persistence of antisemitism in Australia and the world, the Religion and Ethics team partnered with ABC TV and Big Ideas here on Radio National. In a special episode of Big Ideas, we explored the religious roots of anti-Jewish prejudice because certain Christian and Muslim texts have been manipulated to fit political ideologies. A key turning point came in the 1800s, when a racial form of antisemitism began to supplant religious bigotry, with the most lethal consequence by the 1930s and 1940s. Geoff Levey of the University of New South Wales explained this change to me and my colleague Scott Stephens. The bookshelves of the Dalai Lama are groaning with awards for peace and justice work, including the Nobel Peace Prize. But he recently added a more unusual accolade – a Grammy award for the best spoken-word book recording. It's another example of how religion and popular culture are deeply enmeshed. Research by the US-based Faith and Media Initiative suggests audiences, including those with no religious belief, love religious themes on the big and small screens. GUESTS:Dr Miles Pattenden of Oxford University is a papal historianAssociate Professor Geoff Levey of the University of New South WalesDr Anna Halafoff is Professor of Sociology at Deakin University who specialises in faith and popular culture

For the last decade or so we've looked on as the United States has radically changed itself, but the UK has been changing too as it continues to struggle with economic stagnation and the fallout from Brexit.The British people, famous for their aversion to radical and emotional politics, have embarked on a course which was supposed to take them back to the comforting certainties of the past, but has instead, brought them into an uncertain new world.It began with the huge shock of Brexit, then the constant turnover of Prime Ministers including Liz Truss whose term in office was famous outlived by a head of lettuce.In 2025 British Labor won government in a massive landslide, which saw many hope things might settle down, but now Kier Starmer is hanging on by his fingernails.And for those looking to the monarchy for a sense of continuity and national unity, that's not going well either.So what on earth has happened to the land of toast and tea? Ian Dunt is a British political journalist and author of How Westminster Works and Why is Doesn't Ian is also a regular contributor to Late Night Live on Radio National.This episode of Conversations was produced by Jen Leake, the Executive Producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores British politics, Brexit, the financial crash, austerity, David Cameron, The Conservative Party, referendum, European Union, New Labor, populism, government services, the UK-US alliance, Christianity, Marxism, puberty, disillusioned, dogma, ideology, psychedelic, journalism, political discourse, British public school system, elites, power, Prime Ministers, Margaret Thatcher, John Major, immigration.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

A composer, writer, and presenter, Andrew Ford is a unique and highly valued voice in Australia's musical landscape. His music has been heard all around the world, from Sydney to New York, and London to Singapore. It's been conducted by Jeffrey Tate and Benjamin Northey, played by Piers Lane and Lisa Moore, and sung by Yvonne Kenney and Teddy Tahu-Rhodes. He's educated us with his 11 books, most recently The Shortest History of Music, and entertained and enlightened us with his three-decade long presentation of The Music Show on Radio National.In this conversation, Andrew reflects on discovering composition as a teenager and how an encounter with Michael Tippett shaped his artistic outlook. He discusses balancing technique with intuition, the magic of hearing a work for the first time, and accepting that self-criticism and the realities of needing to finish a work are part of the creative process. Andrew also provides some fascinating cultural observations, especially on the history and future of music, innovation versus tradition, how audiences shape what endures, and how genres once thought ephemeral have matured into a kind of canon. This program was recorded at the 2025 Australian Festival of Chamber Music. The next Australian Festival of Chamber Music will take place in Cairns from July 24 to August 1, 2026.

The anti-science crusade in the United States extends beyond President Trump's flourishing statements about climate change being a 'con job' and a 'hoax' and claiming links between Tylenol (or paracetamol) and autism. Under the second Trump administration and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, long-standing medical and scientific institutions are being hollowed out and misinformation and disinformation is rife. There are a number of actors who stand to capitalise on this trend, from foreign states like Russia, to big pharma companies and 'wellness' influencers. And experts say it poses an existential threat not just for America, but for the world. In this episode Geraldine Doogue and Hamish Macdonald speak to Radio National's Science Editor Jonathan Webb and prominent vaccine scientist Dr Peter Hotez (co-author with Michael Mann of Science Under Siege) about the forces at play in the global war on science and Dr. Hotez also reveals what it's like to be personally targeted by RFK Jr, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk. Recommendations:Geraldine: Good Night, and Good Luck - 2005 film Hamish: Australian Story - The River (Part 1 and 2) - ABC iViewGet in touch:We'd love to hear from you!
