HOTSHEET FOR THURSDAY JULY 10, 2008
-- RADIO ONE --
1. THE CURRENT:
Just about everybody - except maybe Rogers - agrees that the iPhone is
wickedly over-priced in Canada. But you know that a lot of people are
going to rush out this Friday and get one anyway. So what is it about
some technologies that turns rational decisions into "gimmes"? This
morning, The Current takes a look at "techno-lust". Also, a
do***entary from last November about a little-known chapter in
American history, when the U-S government forced an unknown number of
Mexican-born people - some of whom had already earned U-S citizen****p
- back across the border into Mexico. That's on The Current, with
guest host Jim Brown, this morning at 8:30 (9:00 NT) on CBC Radio One.
2. BETWEEN YOU AND ME: ***Also heard Saturday afternoon at 4 (4:30 NT)
on CBC Radio One***
Ever wonder why one person catches your attention over another? What
makes you feel crazy in the early phases of love? And why do those
feeling fade? Ask anthropologist Helen Fisher. She's done dozens of
CAT scans of the brains of people who were in love. This week on
Between You and Me, host Josey Vogels and Helen Fisher walk you
through the physiology of love - from that first moment when sparks
fly to that initial flush of attraction and finally settling in for
the long haul. Between You and Me, with Josey Vogels, this morning at
9:30 (10 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
The earthquake that struck Sichuan Province in China this past May did
enormous physical damage. That's easy to see from the photographs. But
what you can't see - and what may be far more devastating in the long
run - is the psychological damage. This morning on Sounds Like Canada,
host Rick Cluff talks with two Chinese-Canadian doctors about their
recent experiences in Sichuan, treating children scarred by the loss
of family and friends. Both say that there's a desperate need to
address the psychological wounds created by the disaster. Hear that
conversation on Sounds Like Canada, this morning at 10 (10:30 NT) on
CBC Radio One.
4. MASHUP:
Talking with your parents about *** can be very uncomfortable. But if
they're from a culture in which people just don't talk about it, that
adds a few new wrinkles. What if you're gay? Or what if the cultural
norms your parents accepted and taught you just don't fit into the
society in which you've landed? This week on Mashup, host Geeta
Nadkarni puts her own Dad on the spot in a long-distance call to
India, as the program explores some of the ways cultures can collide
when it comes to ***. Mashup, with Geeta Nadkarni, this morning at
11:30 (noon NT) on CBC Radio One.
5. Q: ***You can also hear highlights from this afternoon's edition of
Q tonight after the 10 p.m. news on CBC Radio One***
It's a combustible combination today on Q: guest host Laurie Brown
welcomes David Sedaris, whose new collections of essays is titled "Why
Are You Engulfed in Flames?" and actor William H. Macy, whose recent
credits include "Thank You For Smoking". That's on Q, this afternoon
after your local noon show on CBC Radio One.
6. TALKING BOOKS: ***Heard at 2:30 p.m. only in Winnipeg***Not heard
in all locations***
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've 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, this afternoon at 3:30 (4 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
7. OUTFRONT:
Aislinn Thomas used to look in the mirror and hate what she saw.
Voices inside her head told her she could never be thin enough. Now
it's been more than a year since Aislinn left the hospital where she
was treated for anorexia. In that time, Aislinn has started to see
beauty in places she never expected. Hear her story in "What I See",
on Outfront, tonight at 8:45 (9:15 NT) on CBC Radio One.
8. IDEAS:
From his humble origins on a small family farm in western Canada to
his appointment as the Dean of Medicine at Harvard University, Dr.
Joseph Martin has shown consistent commitment to service. The winner
of the 2006 Henry G. Friesen International Prize in Health Research
talks with Paul Kennedy, tonight on Ideas at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio
One.
9. WRITERS & CO:
"Angels in America" tonight on Writers & Company. Host Eleanor Wachtel
talks with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner about his
epic and its transformation from the stage into a six-hour TV movie.
Writers & Company, tonight at 11 (11:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
10. REWIND:
Leonard Cohen has been a fixture on the Canadian cultural scene for
almost half a century. From his exploration of Buddhism to his
relation****ps with various women to his smoky, gravelly voice, the
poet, singer and novelist continues to fascinate Canadians. Tonight on
Rewind, an interview that first aired in 1992 on the program
Morningside, with Peter Gzowski. During the interview, Cohen
cheerfully admits that his tongue is often firmly planted in his cheek
when he writes. Find out more, in Leonard Cohen's conversation with
the late Peter Gzowski, on Rewind...bringing you the best from the CBC
Radio Archives - tonight at midnight (12:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.

recorded live at Birdland in New York City in September, 2002. That's
on Tonic, with Katie Malloch, this evening at 6:00 p.m. (6:30 NT) on
CBC Radio Two.
16. CANADA LIVE:
The name Jimi Hendrix doesn't instantly conjure up visions of
Vancouver, does it? But the late, great guitar legend had strong ties
with that city. Jimi's grandmother Nora arrived in 1911 and became a
well-known figure in Vancouver's small black community. She had a
close relation****p with Jimi, who stayed with her while attending
Dawson Annex in Vancouver's West End. Now restored, the "Hendrix
House" where she spent most of her years was the site of a unique
musical event earlier this year that honoured the memory of Mrs.
Hendrix and her famous grandson. A stellar list of West Coast
performers - including Randy Bachman, Steve Dawson, the Sojourners,
Jim Byrnes, Ndidi Onukwulu and others - created fresh arrangements of
Jimi's most enduring songs. Hear that special concert on Canada Live,
tonight at 8 p.m. (8:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
17. THE SIGNAL:
Laurie has some new and perplexing music from Montreal guitarist and
creative composer Bernard Falaise tonight on The Signal. His latest
offering, called "Clic", features surprising (and charming) musical
twists and turns. Mixing elements of jazz, chamber music, noise and
free improvisation, it's like nothing you've heard before. Hear it
tonight on The Signal. Also on the program, a 'Placebo' from DJ Martin
Tetreault and playful electronica from William Orbit. In Hour Two,
music from the Art of Time Ensemble's "Source and Inspiration"
concert, featuring new songs from Kyrie Kristmanson and Nick Buzz,
inspired by Robert Schumann's Piano Quintet in E flat. That's on The
Signal, with Laurie Brown, tonight at 10 p.m. (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio
Two.
