*** Curious Orange ***
This week on Curious Orange we hear about a fight over a pigpen that used to be part of a concentration camp. We'll also hear from Perro de Jong and his Critical Eye... and from Robbert Tilli of the Dutch Rock and Pop Institute. We'll wrap it all up with a little 'sex-talk' with the organiser of She Spot, the platform for women with erotic fantasies...
That's this week on Curious Orange.

*** The State We're In, Midweek Report ***
This week on The State We're In - Midweek Edition we asses the efficacy of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia now that Chief Prosecutor Carla del Ponte is stepping down and her main suspects have yet to be caught. We report from The Hague and Belgrade.
It's been a dangerous year for journalists: more than 100 were killed and another 150 injured. Journalists from Liberia, Iraq and Turkey tell us about the joys and hazards of their job.
That's all on this week's The State We're In - Midweek Edition.

Benno Barnard - 'The Pendant'
Rudolph is a lonely, middle-aged man who lives in the past and reminisces about a way of life now long gone, that of the landed gentry to which his family once belonged. He still lives in the old family house, but most of the land is now gone and all he has left are his memories and heirlooms - most importantly his mother's ruby pendant which elicits strong emotions in him. These emotions are aroused further when a new Russian cleaner arrives in the house and Rudolph finds himself unable to control himself.
Find out what happens in Benno Barnard's 'The Pendant' - this week's Radio Book.
