What do you make of our century so far? | |
If 2020 has been one of the most challenging years on record for the world and indeed our planet, what has changed since the year 2000?
Next week, Radio National is turning the spotlight on the start of the 21st century.
It’s been a time of terrorist attacks, financial crises and a pandemic – but also the Sydney Olympics, huge technological change and advances in women’s rights.
We’ll be reflecting on what’s changed, but also what’s endured and stayed the same, despite the rapid pace of change.
To kick off the event, start with this weekend’s episode of The Science Show and its look back on 20 years of a changing climate.
And keep an eye on your favourite podcast app from Sunday for the first episode of Stuff The British Stole – a new series from Marc Fennell that illuminates stories of politics, genocide, heroism, survival, and justice.
Until next time,
Rosie Ryan, digital editor
