'In the Shark's Domain' (Orig. Broadcast October 2001)
No matter how safe we feel, we are always at the mercy of a predator. We could be swimming at our favourite beach and suddenly a shark mistakes us for lunch.
We could be living in a small town and be shot by a man who hears God's voice telling him to do it. Producer Dheera Sujan draws unsettling parallels between sharks and serial killers.

*** The State We're In - Midweek Edition ***
Switching teams: Martine Delaney was once Martin Delaney, an elite soccer player in Tasmania, Australia. After becoming a woman, she began playing again, with women. It became a media circus, but Martine ended up scoring a huge political victory.
Fighting and faith: Barry Braden used to be a violent criminal. Now he competes in mixed martial arts, or MMA. Its critics call it barbaric and dangerous. But for Barry, MMA is a matter of life, and faith.
The beautiful game - commentary: For columnist John Doyle, the magic of the World Cup boils down to a moment on a Berlin street in the middle of the night, when he saw two people sleeping peacefully on a sidewalk. His commentary was adapted from his new book The World Is a Ball.

Join your host Chhavi for a focused look at Zimbabwe, a country which has seen years of severe political repression, a recent cholera epidemic, and an inflation rate measured in the millions of percent that eventually led to the adoption of the American dollar very recently.

*** Earth Beat - South Asia edition ***
Join your host Chhavi for a roundup of conservation techniques from round the world. From Kabul we hear of a unique way of drying and storing produce for the winter.
