HOTSHEET FOR TUESDAY JULY 15, 2008
-- RADIO ONE --
1. THE CURRENT:
Esperanto was huge in the Sixties. It's a 120-year-old invented
language that its advocates hoped would become universal, bringing
peace and understanding to the world. The idea kind of faded over the
years. But it turns out the Esperanto movement is still going strong.
This week, the 7th Esperanto Congress of the Americas is taking place
in Quebec City. So this morning, The Current gauges the state of
Esperanto. Also, a do***entary first aired on Valentine's Day called
"Love Interrupted": boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy and girl spend
40 years wandering in the romantic wilderness, separated by religion,
repression and a deep secret ... and eventually, girl-finds-boy.That's
on The Current, with guest host Jim Brown, this morning at 8:30 (9:00
NT) on CBC Radio One.
2. THE LATE SHOW: ***Also heard Sunday morning at 11 (11:30 NT) on CBC
Radio One***
Peter Brock was many things - a writer, a film-maker, a teacher, a
pilot, a pianist. And a modern-day explorer. He was preoccupied with
one goal - a goal that was both exhilarating and dangerous. It was to
sail his boat -- a boat he built -- through the potentially deadly ice
of the Northwest Passage. Follow Peter Brock's journey to its tragic
end, this week on The Late Show with Gordon Pinsent, this morning at
9:30 (10 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
Summer in Georgian Bay. Walking along the lovely shore - whether it's
up on the Bruce Peninsula or over by Midland and beyond - is a
favourite pastime. But someone has put up a fence on Balm Beach, not
far from Midland, Ontario, that runs all the way down to the water.
Property owners say it's a matter of self defence. Beach-walkers and
neighbours say they have rights, too. Today on Sounds Like Canada,
host Rick Cluff hears from all parties - to try to determine whose
beach it is, anyway. That's on Sounds Like Canada, this morning at 10
(10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
4. REVISION QUEST: ***Also heard Friday at 7:30 p.m. (8 NT) on CBC
Radio One***
Revision Quest is the show that looks back on Canada's native history
in order to kick some assumptions about the present. And this week,
the show takes a kick at one of the biggies - the idea that native
Canadians are just transplanted Russians who hiked across the land
bridge across the Bering Strait. You'll learn that natives know how to
sail, and it wasn't aliens or Europeans who invented their
navigational instruments. Chariots of the Gods, this isn't. ReVision
Quest, with host Darrell Dennis, 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***
Christopher Plummer was one of the stars of the Stratford Festival in
its infancy back in the Fifties. He returned 15 years ago to help
celebrate the Festival's 40th anniversary. And now he's back, in his
ninth season at the Festival. Today on Q, Christopher Plummer talks
with guest host Nora Young about the Festival and about his upcoming
role as Caesar in Shaw's "Caesar and Cleopatra." Nora will also grill
Rick Moy, Canada's defending National Barbecue Champion, about what it
takes to rise above the backyard chefs and how he plans to defend his
title at next month's Canadian National BBQ Champion****ps in Whistler.
That's on Q, with guest host Nora Young, this afternoon after your
local noon show on CBC Radio One.
6. CROSSING BOUNDARIES: ***Heard at 2:30 p.m. only in Winnipeg***Not
heard in all locations***Also heard Wednesday morning at 11:30 (noon
NT) on CBC Radio One***CLIP AVAILABLE - DALET CODE 11177***
For non-Muslims, "fatwas" became synonymous with extremism and
intolerance when Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa against Salman
Rushdie in 1989, calling for his death. And yet for Muslims, the
fatwa is the bridge between the principles of their faith and modern
life. It gives a learned opinion on how a religious Muslim should
approach many of the curves that modern life can throw - from divorce
to buying a car on the installment plan to breast-feeding in public.
This week on Crossing Boundaries, a do***entary from the BBC World
Service about fatwas and the role they play for Muslims in modern
Egypt. Crossing Boundaries, this afternoon at 3:30 (4 NT) on CBC Radio
One.
7. MASHUP: ***Also heard Thursday at 11:30 a.m. (noon NT) on CBC
Radio One***
Resettling in a new country often means splitting the family for a
while. And sometimes those separations can stretch into years of being
apart. What happens when you get back together? This week on Mashup,
you'll meet a man who joined his parents in Canada when he was ten,
after years of being raised by his grandparents. 24 years later,
they're still trying to feel like a family. You'll also meet a Toronto
family from Guyana who use the art of karate to stay connected. And a
couple planning a very multicultural wedding drop by the studio to
describe how they plan to balance a multitude of traditions. That's on
Mashup, with Geeta Nadkarni, tonight at 7:30 (8 NT) on CBC Radio
One.
6. OUTFRONT:
Christy Ann Conlin is a writer. Her Dad is an inventor and free spirit
who did much of his work in a bizarre half-built barn on their farm in
Nova Scotia. Over the years, the barn was transformed into a curious
storage space that had the neighbours pointing and children giggling.
But now that her dad is 76, Christy Ann is starting to realize what's
really stored inside the barn. Head for "Murdy's Museum" in Nova
Scotia's lovely Annapolis Valley on Outfront, this evening at 8:45
(9:15 NT) on CBC Radio One.
9. IDEAS:
Legends say a great deal about any society - its values, its hopes,
its collective memory. Tonight on Ideas, "Legends of the Kainai", part
of an ongoing series of readings and dramatizations of the legends of
Canada's First Nations peoples. It's a look at the old stories of the
Blackfoot people of southern Alberta. Hear "Legends of the Kainai",
tonight on Ideas at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
10. VINYL CAFE:
Head for the Vinyl Cafe tonight. In a concert from St. John's, Stuart
McLean welcomes special musical guests Hey Rosetta and the Great Big
Three. Stuart also has the story of what happens when Sam takes
advantage of his parents' absence to sleep late and avoid eating
vegetables - with the result that he turns green! That's this week at
the Vinyl Cafe,
tonight at 11 p.m. (11:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
11. THE CHOICE:
Since the 1970s, mood disorders have been treated, somewhat
successfully, with medication. But the long-term results have been
disappointing. Suicide rates are still high, and so are recurring
episodes. This week on The Choice, a do***entary that looks at the new
clinical concept called "mood hygiene." The idea is that regulating
personal habits, social interaction and the environment can benefit
patients with mood disorders.
"Mood Hygiene", by listener request, on The Choice, tonight at
midnight (12:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.

and soul in a style that reflects her Haitian heritage, her adopted
Canadian homeland, and her undying love for Eartha Kitt. And last nut

vocalist performs at Ottawa's Museum of Civilization in a special
Black History Month concert.

18. THE SIGNAL:
All this week, The Signal is celebrating renowned Canadian composer,
writer, educator and musical philosopher R. Murray Schafer. Tonight,
in Part Two of Eitan Cornfield's do***entary, Schafer discusses his
problems with how music was taught when he was a student, and how he
developed his approach to teaching what he calls "creative hearing."
They'll also explore his involvement with other composers, such as
Barry Truax in the World Soundscape Project. You'll hear his famous
piece 'Epitaph for Moonlight', along with the concert feature - a
