HOTSHEET FOR WEEKEND OF JULY 5 & 6, 2008
SATURDAY JULY 5, 2008
1. THE HOUSE:
(no advance info available)
2. WHITE COAT, BLACK ART:
Do you know if your doctor is up to par? How would you know
otherwise? Though it's a rare occurrence, sometimes doctors can be
inattentive, sloppy, or working with out-of-date knowledge - the kinds
of things that can lead to big trouble. This week and next, White
Coat, Black Art looks at who keeps tabs on health care professionals.
Perhaps provincial colleges are keeping their eyes on their members,
but it might be dangerous to depend on them. Find out more on White
Coat, Black Art, Saturday morning at 9:30 (10 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SIMPLY SEAN:
Special guest Thomas D'Arcy of the band Small Sins joins Sean Cullen
this week on Simply Sean with mysterious tales of the English Channel,
plus what it's like being a one-man band in the recording studio and
taking it to the stage with a bunch of guys you kicked out of your
band in the first place. Plus Sean's weekly set of Summer Tips - this
week, on the need to have a nice outdoor spot to retreat to - just in
case. That's Simply Sean, Saturday at 10 a.m. (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio
One.
4. THE IRRELEVANT SHOW:
Tune into The Irrelevant Show this week for more utterly irrelevant -
but insanely funny - sketch comedy. Eavesdrop on King Arthur and the
Knights of the Round Table as they hold their bi-monthly Health and
Safety meeting: will they solve the t***** issue of ****ft differential
for night battles? Also, a song about the dangers of blender drinks,
including a blazing blender solo. And a twist on some familiar fairy
tale villains that looks at things from THEIR point of view. The
Irrelevant Show, Saturday morning at 11 (11:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
5. O'REILLY AND THE AGE OF PERSUASION:
O'Reilly tackles the "You-Tube Revolution" this week on The Age of
Persuasion. For centuries, advertisers talked to consumers - but
rarely could consumers talk back. Until now. With the advent of
YouTube, consumers are taking control of today's marketing messages.
Terry shows how YouTube Ad parodies can - and do - hamstring multi-
million dollar ad campaigns, while no-cost "viral" videos are
catapulting others to wild success. The Age of Persuasion, Saturday
morning at 11:30 (noon NT) on CBC Radio One.
6. QUIRKS AND QUARKS: ***Also heard Mondays at 11 p.m. (11:30 NT) on
CBC Radio One***
Humans like to think they're unique, distinct from all the other
species on the planet. Humans build cities, write poetry, do calculus
and bend the natural world to their purposes. But despite all this,
the message from scientists is, increasingly, "get over yourselves."
This week on Quirks and Quarks, a look at why humans aren't all that
special, and just how similar they are to the other animals, in
everything from biology to psychology. That's on Quirks and Quarks,
with host Bob McDonald, Saturday afternoon after the noon news (12:30
NT) on CBC Radio One.
7. DEFINITELY NOT THE OPERA:
=46rom "The Office" to "Ugly Betty", audiences seem to love watching
people in highly uncomfortable situations. So why do many people find
awkwardness so funny? This week on DNTO, contributor Mike Bell looks
into television that makes you cringe, and why it's so popular. As
well, Sook-Yin Lee talks with Kin Finkleman, creator of the cringe-
inducing dark comedies "The Newsroom" and "More Tears", and with
Martha MacIsaac, the Canadian actor who played awkward teen Becca in
last summer's smash hit movie "Superbad". As well, DNTO listeners
share their stories of their most awkward moments. That's on
Definitely Not the Opera, Saturday after the one p.m. news (1:30 NT)
on CBC Radio One.
8. FUSE:
He plays boogie-woogie piano blues. She travels down Route 66 and
returns with tall tales of smoky pop noir. Together, Julian Fauth and
Melissa McClelland spark a Fuse of slow-burning blues and singing
soul. Hear them on Fuse with Amanda Putz, Saturday at 3 p.m. (3:30 NT)
on CBC Radio One.
9. BETWEEN YOU AND ME:
There's a widely held belief that somewhere out there, there's a
perfect match for each and every one of us=85 that magical one and only
person there who will complete us. But fairy tale notions of 'happy-
ever-after' take their toll on relation****ps. This week on Between You
and Me, Josey Vogels takes off the glass slippers and investigates
where the myth of 'The One' comes from, and why we cling to it.
Between You and Me with Josey Vogels, Saturday afternoon at 4 (4:30
NT) on CBC Radio One.
10. TALKING BOOKS: ***Also heard in some locations Thursdays at 3:30
p.m. (4 NT) on CBC Radio One***
It's not a situation that's likely to crop up any time soon on Talking
Books. But this week, Ian and his guests talk about a book called "How
To Talk About Books You Haven't Read" by Pierre Bayard. He's a
professor of Literature in France, and he's perfectly suited to giving
advice about how to converse - and sound intelligent - about books you
skimmed but didn't actually read, books you really did read, and books
you're read and promptly forgotten. It's a special program, recorded
at Toronto's Reference Library: Ian's panelists include Jane Urquhart,
Avi Lewis and Ray Robertson. That's on Talking Books, with Ian Brown,
Saturday afternoon at 4:30 (5 NT) on CBC Radio One.
11. THE WORLD THIS WEEKEND:
(no advance information available)
12. THE DEBATERS: ***also heard Sunday morning at 11:30 (noon NT) on
CBC Radio One***
"The Colbert Re****t" and "Rick Mercer Re****t" are popular TV shows
that use headlines as a source of laughs. But are they also a good
source of news? Writer-comedian Tim Steeves of the "Rick Mercer
Re****t" and Barry Julien of the "The Colbert Re****t") square off this
week on The Debaters over whether Colbert and Mercer actually do
anything to inform viewers. Later, guest host Sean Cullen (also host
of CBC Radio's Simply Sean) presides as two expatriate Canadian comedy
heavyweights, Mike MacDonald and John Wing, go toe-to-toe over whether
America should look to Canada for direction. That's The Debaters,
Saturday evening at 6:30 (7:30 AT, 8 NT) on CBC Radio One.
13. RANDY BACHMAN'S VINYL TAP: ***also heard Fridays at 11 p.m. (11:30
NT) on CBC Radio One***
Musicians have been borrowing themes and ideas from each other ever
since music- making began. It's not plagiarism, but inspiration. This
week on Vinyl Tap, Randy turns to an unlikely source for pop music...
the classics. It's amazing how many pop songs can trace their roots to
classical music - you'll hear lots of them this week. Some are almost
direct lifts and some are pretty obscure, but Randy has done the heavy
listening and will point out the connections. Music from the Stray
Cats, The Ventures, John Denver, Eric Carmen and oh yes...Brahms,
Bach, Tchaikovsky and Grieg. Classically inclined, this week on Randy
Bachman's Vinyl Tap, Saturday evening at 7 p.m. (8 AT, 8:30 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
14. UNDER THE COVERS:
Cover songs have long been a feature of the music scene in North
America, but even a generation ago, they were also used to perpetuate
racism and segregation - to keep non-white artists out of the
mainstream. This week on Under the Covers, let hosts Emm Gryner and
Danny Michel introduce you to the original version of an early Elvis
classic. It will demonstrate that The King owed at least as much to
black R & B artists as he did to those swiveling hips. You'll also
hear one of the very first cover recordings - done by Gene Autry! -
and re-discover one of the greatest cover artists of all time: Ella
Fitzgerald. Under the Covers, with Emm Gryner and Danny Michel,
Saturday at 9 p.m. (6 p.m. AT, 6:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
15. SATURDAY NIGHT BLUES:
They began playing and recording together back in the late Sixties.
This week in Hour One of Saturday Night Blues, it's Amos Garrett and
Geoff Muldaur, recorded live at the Vancouver Island Music Festival.
Later, an interview with Bettye Lavette. Back in the early Sixties,
she had hits with "My Man - He's A Loving Man" and "Let Me Down
Easy". Now, forty years later, she's found new success recording on
the Anti Record label with producer Joe Henry. Hear her in
conversation with Holger Peterson this week on Saturday Night Blues,
starting at 10 (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.

Tuesdays at 11 p.m. (11:30 NT) on CBC Radio One***
Something a little different this week on The Vinyl Caf=E9, in
recognition of the week that begins with Canada Day and ends with July
the Fourth. Host Stuart McLean shares his recent exchange with an
American judge. They talk about the differences between Americans and
Canadians. And Stuart suggests some things that his American friend
might be able to learn from his friends in the North. It is more than
just medicare...That's this week at the Vinyl Cafe, Saturday morning
at 10:00 (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
17. DEEP ROOTS:
Geoff Berner is an artist who's trying to bring Klezmer from the glass
cases back into the beer halls. Hear all about him this week on Deep
Roots. Also, a tune from Basia Bulat, who's become the darling of both
the indie-rock and indie-folk worlds, and in this week's myspace
moment, music by a blues-gospel band whose lead singer seemingly sings
only in vowels, no consonants. That's on Deep Roots, with Tom Power,
Saturday morning at 11 (noon AT, 12:30 NT) on CBC Radio 2.
18. INSIDE THE MUSIC:

Saturday. It's a four-part series hosted by Waba****wut Kinew about the
place of drums and drumming in many different cultures around the
world. This week, in Part Three, a look at the final journey: death.

the Drum, on Inside the Music with Patti Schmidt, Saturday after the
noon news (1 AT, 1:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
19. SATURDAY AFTERNOON AT THE OPERA:
If you're the right vintage, the overture to this week's opera will
have you leaping out of your seat, yelling "Hiyo, Silver, Away!" It
could only be Rossini's William Tell. Antonio Pappano conducts the
Santa Cecilia Academy Chorus and Orchestra in a production from Rome,
starring baritone Michele Pertusi in the title role. That's William
Tell, this week on Saturday Afternoon at the Opera, Saturday at 1 pm
(2 AT; 2:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
20. IN TUNE:
This sounds like something P.D.Q. Bach might have dreamt up: the UK's
Guardian newspaper had its s****ts writers and its music critics trade
places recently. Find out what really happened, this week on In Tune.
And deafness hasn't stopped percussion soloist Evelyn Glennie from
becoming one of the world's top musicians. Find out how she does it,

--- WEEKEND HOTSHEET, SUNDAY JULY 6, 2008 ---
1. THE SUNDAY EDITION:
Think the days of the medicine shows and the cure-alls of yesteryear
are gone? Think again. North Americans are increasingly conditioned to

The First Lady of France is doing something next week that no known
political spouse has ever done. Before. Carla Bruni is releasing a
much-anticipated pop music CD. The lyrics of one song have caused an
international incident of sorts. The President of Colombia is
demanding an apology over a reference to cocaine. It's only a few
months since the singer and former supermodel married President
Nicholas Sarkozy. The country has never had a First Lady with such a
high profile....and after an initial slump in the polls, Sarkozy is
now riding high....due in part to the popularity of his new wife. "The

Halifax's Simon Docking. CBC Halifax's Peter Togni narrates, reading
Messiaen's poetry, which segues from one piece to the next. This is a
massive and beautiful piece that is rarely heard in its entirety: The
whole performance - poetry and books - is just under three hours long,

"Catalogue d'oiseaux", on The Signal, with Pat Carrabre, Sunday at 10
