Some of these programs are currently in production so they won't be heard till early next year. What ought to be stressed is the different styles of program reflecting a concern for establishing the best relationship with the audience. Uppermost in many producers minds is the obligation to make Educational programs as accessible as possible. 9.02 - 9.30 am Radio National in Sydney Melbourne, Brisbane.

Offspring is a paradigm of much of our thinking and philosophies.
As it deals with the whole process of care giving to children, it is universal in its appeal. While many programs in the series are of primary interest to parents, the producers deliberately do not exclude other listeners. Issues like foster parenting child sexuality, learning problems and family therapy are dealt with in a way which is both sensitive and authoritative - authoritative because the program relies heavily on good expert research. The producers see the effect of the programs as cumulative, resulting in the listeners becoming better parents. The outcomes of Offspring can be evaluated from the amount of mail the show receives from all over Australia, as well as from calls to Wednesday's talkback show.
