HOTSHEET FOR WEEKEND OF JULY 12 & 13, 2008
SATURDAY JULY 12, 2008
1. THE HOUSE:
It's not a name that most Canadians would recognize - Alexander
Yakovlev. But the man who was the Soviet Union's Ambassador to Canada
in the Seventies also became Mikhail Gorbachev's partner in
"perestroika" and "glasnost". And that means he had a hand in taking
much of the chill out of the Cold War. This week on The House, host
Kathleen Petty talks with Christopher Shulgan, who's just published a
new biography of Alexander Yakovlev. That's on The House, Saturday
after World Re****t at 9 a.m. (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
2. WHITE COAT, BLACK ART:
Last week at this time, White Coat, Black Art took a look at the
competency of Canada's doctors, and who keeps tabs on them. This week,
it's the nurses' turn. Thanks to Canada's chronic shortage of nurses,
some provinces are trying to bring young nurses into the system
quickly. That means more experienced nurses on the floor are left to
teach these young ones...and make sure they're up to par. White Coat,
Black Art, Saturday morning at 9:30 (10 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SIMPLY SEAN:
Se=E1n welcomes special guest Kevin Hearn of the Bare****d Ladies this
week on Simply Se=E1n. Kevin has been busy lately, touring with none
other than Lou Reed, and writing a ton of songs for the new Bare****d
Ladies kids' album. He'll sit down at the piano and share a few
stories about both of those things. He'll also make a confession about
his love for an itty bitty candy snack. That's Simply Sean, Saturday
at 10 a.m. (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
4. THE IRRELEVANT SHOW:
Meet a show business icon this week on The Irrelevant Show - the
legume with the top hat and monocle, Mister Peanut. Also, what happens
when you're trying to pour your heart into a love song, but you just
can't find the perfect font? You'll find out. And if you like beer..
or the novels of Jane Austen=85or especially both=85you'll love the Jane
Austen Drinking Game!! The Irrelevant Show, Saturday morning at 11
(11:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
5. O'REILLY AND THE AGE OF PERSUASION:
A century ago, a car dealer asked the folks at Daimler if he could
name their new car after his daughter Mercedes. That name worked out
pretty well. A half century later, Ford named its new car after
"Edsel"- after the son of the company's founder. That didn't work out
so well. This week on The Age of Persuasion, Terry O'Reilly tells the
stories behind some familiar names. And explains the perils of naming
a product too well. Terry O'Reilly and the Age of Persuasion,
Saturday morning at 11:30 (noon NT) on CBC Radio One.
6. QUIRKS AND QUARKS:
It may be mind-boggling, but scientists generally seem to agree on
what happened after the "Big Bang." But no one really seems to know
what happened right at the moment of the "Big Bang" or even how it
happened. Today on Quirks & Quarks, a look at some of the theories,
ranging from hot soups of string to a cosmic crash. It's an
examination of the latest ideas that may explain the origins of our
universe. That's 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:
You've probably had people tell you to "grow up" or "act your age" -
but with adults acting like kids and kids acting like adults, what
does that mean these days? This week on DNTO, meet actor Ellen Page,
the Oscar-nominated 20-something who took on the role of a 15-year-old
in the hit movie Juno. You'll also hear from Eric Peterson, who plays
the age-defying Oscar on "Corner Gas." DNTO fa****on contributor Rhonda
Riche looks at why adults are dressing like kids and kids are dressing
like adults. You don't have to be - or even feel like - a grownup to
love Definitely Not the Opera, Saturday after the one p.m. news (1:30
NT) on CBC Radio One.
6. FUSE:
Fred Eaglesmith tells rootsy tales of blue-collar industry and small-
town folk. Katie Stelmanis belts out avant-garde electronic
compositions with her opera-trained voice. On the surface, they have
nothing in common. But together on Fuse, Katie and Fred team up their
unique voices to bridge the gap between their ages and musical styles.
That's on Fuse, with Amanda Putz, Saturday at 3 p.m. (3:30 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
9. BETWEEN YOU AND ME:
Ever wonder why one person catches your attention over another? What
makes you feel crazy in the early phases of love? 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, 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***
Picture the Queen stumbling across an unmanned mobile library one day
in the grounds o Buckingham Palace. She starts to borrow books -
everything from Ivy Compton-Burnett to Proust - and becomes such an
avid reader that she begins to resent having to carry out the royal
duties that keep her away from her books. That's the premise behind
Alan Bennett's "The Uncommon Reader". And that's the book Ian and his
guests will tackle this week on Talking Books. Talking Books, with Ian
Brown, Saturday afternoon at 4:30 (5 NT) on CBC Radio One.
11. THE WORLD THIS WEEKEND:

winning comedic actor Patrick McKenna ("The Red Green Show ") is riled
up and ready to prove to TV talent show finalist Debra DiGiovanni
(NBC's "Last Comic Standing") that all reality programs should be

Richard. This week, Randy begins a look at the evolution of British
pop music, and he'll begin with Sir Cliff. You'll also hear tunes from

side of the vinyl highway this week on Randy Bachman's Vinyl Tap,

14. UNDER THE COVERS:
There's a long-running column in a magazine called Ladies' Home
Journal called "Can This Marriage Be Saved?" And this week on Under
the Covers, musical therapists Emm Gryner and Danny Michel take the
same approach to horribly over-produced pop songs. They're out to
prove - using the stripped-down-to-the-bare-bones cover versions of
those songs - that you can obscure a good solid song under layers of
production, but you can't hide it forever. You'll hear cover versions
that reveal unexpected quality in the hits of Britney Spears, Tears
for Fears, Kylie Minogue and Snoop Dogg. 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.

an adult, Mary went looking for joy - and found it, in both a happy
family life and her vocation as a storyteller. She specialized in

on Cross Country Checkup, from 4 until 6 (EASTERN) on CBC Radio One.

over bluefin tuna. It's a very popular and valuable fish, often used
in su****, among other things. But this year's fi****ng season in the
Mediterranean has come to an unexpectedly early end, and angry
fishermen are blockading ****ts, furious that regulators have forced
them out of the water. Scientists say the bluefin is being wiped out
by overfi****ng. But the fishermen say their livelihood is being
threatened by overzealous ecologists and bureaucrats. Find out more
