Radio Netherlands Program Guide - October 24-30

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 week, beginning on Saturday.
SATURDAY 24 OCTOBER
*** The State We're In ***

In 'The Right to a Bonus' we hear why a high-flying 'city boy' in London's financial district had to leave the world of finance. And the editorial director of the magazine Crain's New York tells Jonathan why we should separate the good bonuses from the bad - and why bankers often have a right to their yearly bonus. Henrietta Spalding was born with a rare condition which has left her unable to make any facial expression. She talks to Jonathan Groubert about living with
this disorder and how she's learnt to interact with others without smiling.

The Smile Train was set up to help the hundreds of thousands of children around the world with a cleft lip and palette. Many are ostracised and hidden away but a relatively short operation can transform their lives.

A Palestinian woman who must queue up at the Israeli/West Bank checkpoint every day in order to get to work, talks to Jonathan Groubert about life queuing at the terminal.

French priest Patrick Desbois tells host Jonathan Groubert how he came to document the nearly forgotten "Holocaust by Bullets", the mass executions of Jews by machine gun in Ukraine in WW II.

'Living shouldn't get to be a habit' - by Stijn Vranken

Flemish writer and actor Stijn Vranken is an award-winning performance poet. He has organised a popular monthly poetry night in Antwerp. His contribution for Radio Books is his first foray into literary fiction.

The story begins with a unsettling confession when the narrator says, "I murdered a man." What follows is a chilling tale about art and mortality worthy of comparison with stories by Edgar Allen Poe or Daphne de Maurier.
