8:40 Feature interview: World Values
Individual autonomy and free choice have become the priorities for many societies, and that's leading to demands for democracy. Professor Ronald Inglehart (image at right) from the University of Michigan, who is Director of the World Values Survey, talks to Chris Laidlaw about political and social change around the world.
Produced by Christine Cessford
9:05 Mediawatch
Mediawatch talks to NBR editor Nevil Gibson, who says most media got the election wrong because they "lean to the left" -- and an old-fashioned newspaper boss talks about the days before foreign companies bought our biggest papers, and the possibility of local owners once again buying into big names in New Zealand media. Also on the programme, we hear how this week's All Blacks vs Munster game had journalists cranking out the clichés.
Produced and presented by Colin Peacock and Jeremy Rose.
9:30 Feature interview: The Heyday of Picture Theatres
Remember the days when we watched newsreels and sang God Save the Queen before the movie started? Wayne Brittenden (picture at right) tells Chris Laidlaw about his research into the glory days of picture theatres, detailed in his book 'The Celluloid Circus: The Heyday of the NZ Picture Theatre.'

10:06 The Sunday Group: The Clark Legacy
In the early aftermath of her election loss and resignation as Labour leader, there's a tendency to both eulogise and to criticize Helen Clark. In this week's Sunday Group discussion, three cool heads give us their take on Miss Clark's political legacy. Chris Laidlaw chairs a panel that includes: political commentator Colin James, former deputy Prime Minister, Wyatt Creech and former National MP Marilyn Waring.

10:40 Hidden Treasures
Each week Trevor Reekie takes you on a trip that seeks out musical gems from niche markets around the globe, the latest re-releases and interesting sounds from the shallow end of the bit stream. This week Trevor reveals carnatic ragas played on an electric mandolin, the revivalist exuberance of Eli 'Paperboy' Reed and a couple of local bluesmen perform live in the Radio NZ studio.

What the listeners have to say.
11:05 Ideas: The Forum
This week, Ideas is a programme from the BBC's World Service. The Forum aims to cross boundaries and challenge assumptions on scientific, creative, and geographical topics. South Africa's Max Du Preez goes in search of new ancestral heroes, Susan Blackmore argues our idea of free will is an illusion, and the electronic artist Rafael Lozano Hemmer, whose palette is a mix of robotics and vast public spaces, decodes his vision.
