PROTESTERS AND POLICE: Ivan Marovic helped organise protests against the Milosovic regime in 2000, after yet another fraudulent election - protests which helped topple the government. He tells Jonathan how crucial it was to neutralise the police: not through physical confrontations, but by engaging them in their cause. He advises protestors in Iran to do the same.
This week's theme: How fair is fair trade?
FAIR TRADE FOR WHOM? Kenyan woodcarver Dankan describes how fair trade has doubled his income and answered the prayers he and family had. But filmmaker Steve Daley tells Jonathan how a trip to a fair trade cocoa plantation in Ghana convinced him that fair trade doesn't better the lives of producers significantly, and that all it really does is soothe the collective conscience of western consumers.
FIGTING FOR FAIR WAGES IN INDIA: Jonathan speaks with a domestic worker in Bangalore, India, who, after joining a new union, found the courage to fight for better wages, a day off and, in one case, the right to even use the toilet.
FAIR WAGE TRIUMPH: When Argentinean Jose Luis Bethancourt came to the United States he got a good paying job. When a new boss illegally cut his and his co-workers wages they sued ... and won. He tells Jonathan what other workers being paid unfairly can do to help themselves.
FOOD AND FAIRNESS IN WAR: Amela Marin Simic lived through the siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s. She tells Jonathan what she did to put food on the table for her family - like bartering with TV crews who wanted interviews - and how her conception of what constitutes fair costs for food changed forever after the war.

'Love' - by Erik Jan Harmens
Erik Jan Harmens became the first Dutch National Poetry Slam champion in 2002. Since then he has published several collections of poems. Last year his first novel was said to create a new genre dubbed "corporate horror fiction".
His story for Radio Books can be said to have elements of psychological horror. A man is buried beneath the rubble of an apparent terrorist attack. Alone in the dark with his thoughts, he expresses his hopes - of rescue - and his regrets - if not found in time.

*** The State We're In - Midweek Edition ***
PROTESTERS AND POLICE: Ivan Marovic helped organise protests against the Milosovic regime in 2000, after yet another fraudulent election - protests which helped topple the government. He tells Jonathan how crucial it was to neutralise the police: not through physical confrontations, but by engaging them in their cause. He advises protestors in Iran to do the same.
This week's theme: How fair is fair trade?
FAIR TRADE FOR WHOM? Kenyan woodcarver Dankan describes how fair trade has doubled his income and answered the prayers he and family had. But filmmaker Steve Daley tells Jonathan how a trip to a fair trade cocoa plantation in Ghana convinced him that fair trade doesn't better the lives of producers significantly, and that all it really does is soothe the collective conscience of western consumers.
FIGTING FOR FAIR WAGES IN INDIA: Jonathan speaks with a domestic worker in Bangalore, India, who, after joining a new union, found the courage to fight for better wages, a day off and, in one case, the right to even use the toilet.

'Love' - by Erik Jan Harmens
Erik Jan Harmens became the first Dutch National Poetry Slam champion in 2002. Since then he has published several collections of poems. Last year his first novel was said to create a new genre dubbed "corporate horror fiction".
His story for Radio Books can be said to have elements of psychological horror. A man is buried beneath the rubble of an apparent terrorist attack. Alone in the dark with his thoughts, he expresses his hopes - of rescue - and his regrets - if not found in time.

*** The State We're In - Midweek Edition ***
PROTESTERS AND POLICE: Ivan Marovic helped organise protests against the Milosovic regime in 2000, after yet another fraudulent election - protests which helped topple the government. He tells Jonathan how crucial it was to neutralise the police: not through physical confrontations, but by engaging them in their cause. He advises protestors in Iran to do the same.
This week's theme: How fair is fair trade?
FAIR TRADE FOR WHOM? Kenyan woodcarver Dankan describes how fair trade has doubled his income and answered the prayers he and family had. But filmmaker Steve Daley tells Jonathan how a trip to a fair trade cocoa plantation in Ghana convinced him that fair trade doesn't better the lives of producers significantly, and that all it really does is soothe the collective conscience of western consumers.
FIGTING FOR FAIR WAGES IN INDIA: Jonathan speaks with a domestic worker in Bangalore, India, who, after joining a new union, found the courage to fight for better wages, a day off and, in one case, the right to even use the toilet.
