*** The State We're In - Midweek Edition ***
In this week's The State We're In - Midweek Edition conflict correspondent Hans Jaap Mellissen asks Iraqis about the state of their land on the five-year anniversary of the American-led invasion.
We go 'off the beaten track' with three stories of how we treat each other, and ourselves, in remote parts of the world. Penny Bergen looks at life in the middle of the Australian Outback. German Marine Biologist Birgit Obermuller tells host Jonathan Groubert about how she survives in the icy isolation of Antarctica. And spiritualist Miek Pot recounts her Spartan twelve-year stint at a Carthusian convent's hermitage.
That's what's in this week's The State We're In - Midweek Edition.

Kristien Hemmerechts - 'Honey'
Kristien Hemmerechts' contribution to Radio Books is called 'Honey'. It tells the story of a close group of friends as seen through the eyes of just one of them. She's been left out of the group's holiday plans for reasons she can't fully understand. What emerges is a honeycomb of friendships which isn't quite as strong and reliable as one might think at first glance. Nothing is ever what it seems, is the story's moral - and don't take anything at face value.

*** Earthbeat ***
This week on Earthbeat, we follow an organisation that is helping rural Lebanese farmers with new development projects that also draw on Lebanese resources and culture. We also go to India, where garbage is a problem that one company is turning into a resource. And we look at what winter fun on the slopes are doing to the French Alps - skiing is a sport many Europeans love, but is it going to be around much longer?
You can find out on Earthbeat.
