HOTSHEET FOR MONDAY JULY 21, 2008
-- RADIO ONE --
1. THE CURRENT:
The United States has sent a high-level diplomat to participate in
multilateral talks with Iran over its nuclear program. The move is
seen as a major ****ft in foreign policy. This morning on The Current,
two major figures in U-S foreign policy history - John Bolton,
President Bush's former Ambassador to the United Nations, and Zbigniew
Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter's National Security Advisor and the
National Security Advisor to the presumptive Democratic Presidential
nominee, Barack Obama - ponder the value of talking with Iran. Also on
the program, a do***entary from this spring about a group of
people in Kenya who are trying to rescue the growing number of babies
who've been abandoned because they are the product of *****. That's
on The Current, with guest host Mike Finnerty, this morning at 8:30
(9:00 NT) on CBC Radio One.
2. ALIEN NATION: ***Also heard Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. (8 NT) on CBC
Radio One
There are always gaps between parents and teens. But nowhere is the
gulf so wide these days as when it comes to technology. FaceBook,
YouTube and other online meeting-places have turned the social lives
of today's teens into something their parents can often barely
understand. This week on Alien Nation, host Judith Mackin the high-
tech world, where teens appear to lose their sense of time,
perspective and responsibility. You'll hear a story about cyber-
bullying that has a surprising ending. Students talk about their
online lives. Can real friend****ps exist in cyberspace? That's on
Alien Nation, this morning at 9:30 (10 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
"Nuclear" is a hot-button word in the Ontario community of ****t Hope.
The town has spent more than thirty years cleaning up since Eldorado -
a Crown cor****ation that processed nuclear materials - shut down. Now,
Saddam Hussein's former stockpile of yellowcake - partially-processed
uranium - is on its way to ****t Hope, and some residents aren't happy
about it. Find out more, on Sounds Like Canada, with guest host Steve
Burgess, this morning at 10 (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
4. WHITE COAT, BLACK ART:
Last week at this time, White Coat, Black Art looked at the
frightening numbers of mistakes that doctors and other health care
professionals make each year in Canada. This week, it's the next
logical step for many people - taking their doctor to court. But it's
not that easy to get a legal solution to a medical problem. You'll
hear from a top malpractice lawyer, a retired judge, and an expert
witness who has been a hired gun for both patients and doctors. White
Coat, Black Art, 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***
If someone mentions "glamour", what kinds of images pop into your
head? Marlene Dietrich? Audrey Hepburn? Marilyn Monroe? Are there any
contem****ary stars who seem glamourous to you? Probably not. This is
the age of Reality TV and perpetual candid shots of celebrities taken
in "off" moments. So is glamour dead? Today on Q, guest host Nora
Young talks with Stephen Gundle, the author of "A Social History of
Glamour". That's on Q, this afternoon after your local noon show on
CBC Radio One.
6. THE CHOICE: ***Heard at 2:30 p.m. only in Winnipeg***Not heard in
all locations***
The Secret is, in fact, no secret at all. Rhonda Byrne's book and DVD
have been on best-seller lists for more than a year and have sold
millions of copies. But why, oh why, is this book such a success?
Today on The Choice, a listener request for Frank Faulk's do***entary,
"Fascination, Agreement, Shock," a search for The Secret's secret of
success. Hear it on The Choice, this afternoon at 3:30 (4 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
7. DIET FOR A HUNGRY PLANET: ***Also heard Wednesday morning at 9:30
(10 NT) on CBC Radio One***
There's no shortage of blame to go around in the growing global food
crisis. This week's edition of Diet For a Hungry Planet features
interviews with a couple of experts: Raj Patel is the author of
"Stuffed and Starved: Markets, Choice and The Battle for The World's
Food System." He thinks the system answers too much to government and
cor****ate interests. Lester Brown is the president and founder of the
Earth Policy Institute and the author of "Plan B 3.0: Mobilizing to
Save Civilization." And his warning on collapsing food markets is
linked to climate change. That's Diet For a Hungry Planet, this
evening at 7:30 (8 NT) on CBC Radio One.
8. THE DNA FILES:
(no advance info available)
9. IDEAS:
The guidebooks say that "time stands still" among the dreaming spires
of Oxford - and modern physics seems to agree. Tonight on Ideas,
journalist Dan Falk meets with three brilliant Oxford scientists -
Roger Penrose, David Deutsch, and Julian Barbour - and searches for
insight into a most peculiar dimension. Try "Living on Oxford Time",
tonight on Ideas, at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
10. QUIRKS & QUARKS:
It sounds like a simple equation: eat less, exercise more and you'll
achieve and maintain a healthy weight. But what if that accepted
wisdom turned out to be wrong? What if butter and ice cream and other
fatty foods were actually thought of as heart savers? Science writer
Gary Taubes thinks that's exactly the case. His controversial new
book looks at the history of obesity research and public health. He
claims there's no proof that eating fatty foods causes obesity or
heart disease, and that today's conventional diet advice may actually
be the cause of weight gain. Find out more tonight on Quirks and
Quarks, with host Bob McDonald, tonight at 11 (11:30 NT) on CBC Radio
One.

11. HERE'S TO YOU:
Catherine has a duet from Verdi's Don Carlo today on Here's to You.

aided by a mysterious neighbour who walks down the street singing
opera beautifully in Italian. Also, a trip down Memory Lane courtesy
of a Nova Scotia man who remembers the theme of a 1970s program hosted
by Eric Friesen. The music is an organ concerto by Handel. And music
by Swedish composer Lars-Erik Larsson, in memory of a trip to southern
Sweden that included an involuntary detour to Larsson's birthplace,
Akarp. Here's to You, with host Catherine Belyea, this morning at 9
(9:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.

6:00 p.m. (6:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
15. CANADA LIVE:
Canada Live has a couple of concerts tonight that should have folkies
dancing with delight. From Vancouver, Headwater, a band that plays
folk music with just the right amount of edge. Then it's Attics and
Cellars, a progressive folk band full of muscular musicians who play
with surprising taste and sensitivity. Canada Live, tonight at 8 p.m.
(8:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
16. THE SIGNAL:
The Signal's post-modernist hero returns tonight - to present his
latest masterpiece!
Toronto's John Kameel Farah is a virtuoso musician: he fuses elements
of jazz, techno, classical, ambient, and Middle Eastern music into his
own large-scale works. Tonight's work, titled "Unfolding" - has been
called "a lifetime of knowledge distilled into fifty minutes of pure
inspiration!" Hear it tonight on the Signal, with Laurie Brown, at 10
p.m. (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
