'Diner Pensant' (Orig. broadcast June 2006)
A 'diner pensant,' or dinner discussion, is a unique Dutch phenomenon. Producer Michele Ernsting sits down to a four-course meal with Professor of Food Philosophy Michiel Korthals to talk about the role of food in society. What's more important - to know where our food comes from or to simply enjoy eating it?

Two saxophonists who are more or less related to the Cool School, one a little more than the other. Alto saxophonist Lee Konitz and tenor saxophonist Pete Christlieb, both recorded with their own bands at the 2004 Northsea Jazz Festival. All of that, on the European Jazz Stage with Hans Mantel.
*** Live! at the Concertgebouw ***
The Netherlands Radio Chamber Philharmonic is conducted by Kees Bakels, soloist is Alexei Ogrintchouk in Mozart's Oboe Concerto in C major, KV 314. There is also Scandinavian music by Sibelius and Berwald. Hosted by Hans Haffmans.
*** The State We're In - Midweek Edition ***
KGB cool: Oleg Kalugin was the youngest KGB general of his generation and was at the forefront of the spying game against the US. For him, it was exhilarating: "When you win over someone who was an enemy just a month ago and you turn him into your friend and colleague, it makes you feel excited and happy." It also turned him into a big Doris Day fan!
Russian trainspotting: Leslie Woodhead was sent to a 'spying school' to learn Russian as a member of Britain's intelligence network. His expertise was used to listen in on Russian pilot conversations. He says it was boring, like trainspotting. Fifty years later, Leslie realises that it wasn't such a waste of time after all - and that he played a small but significant role in helping the world avert nuclear self-destruction.

Truffle hunters were even killing their rival's truffle hunting dogs. What is it that makes this unusual foodstuff so remarkably valuable?
