HOTSHEET FOR WEDNESDAY JULY 23, 2008
-- RADIO ONE --
1. THE CURRENT: ***Pls note: Swiss bank item postponed from
yesterday***
Swiss banks have made a fortune by refusing to reveal the activities -
or even the names - of their customers around the world. But now,
under pressure from a U-S Senate Sub-Committee, Switzerland's largest
bank, UBS, is preparing to reveal the names of the wealthy Americans
it helped to evade both law enforcement officials and tax authorities.
And that might be worth 18 billion - billion! - dollars in tax revenue
for the U-S government. This morning on The Current, what that might
mean for Canada - and for the future of Swiss banks. And Marie Claire
Ross was once one of the world's top disabled athletes. But the
challenges life has thrown at the blind swimmer lately have been
particularly tough. Hear her story on The Current, with guest host
Mike Finnerty, this morning at 8:30 (9:00 NT) on CBC Radio One.
2. DIET FOR A HUNGRY PLANET:
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
morning at 9:30 (10 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
Sounds Like Canada unravels a medical mystery today. It's the story of
how a team of Edmonton doctors diagnosed a rare illness acquired from
a type of caterpillar in the jungles of Peru. You'll also hear a
doctor who warns you to think twice before flying back to Canada to
receive medical treatment. Find out more, on Sounds Like Canada, with
host Steve Burgess, this morning at 10 (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
4. CROSSING BOUNDARIES:
Email seems to have opened up a whole world of new op****tunities for
bullies. Maybe it's the anonymity. In any case, both the victims and
the perpetrators are most often teenage girls. A recent survey done in
Australia found that almost half the young teenage girls surveyed had
experienced this kind of bullying. This week on Crossing Boundaries,
"We're Watching You", a disturbing do***entary on the subject from ABC
Radio National in Australia. This program won a Silver Medal at last
year's New York Radio Festival. Crossing Boundaries, 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***
Movie critics have been falling over themselves to sing the praises of
the new Batman movie "The Dark Knight". Except David Edelstein. New
York Magazine's film critic joins guest host Nora Young today on Q to
explain why he's willing to be castigated online and elsewhere for
bucking the tide. Also on the program, singer-songwriter M. Ward comes
into studio Q to talk about "She and Him", his recent musical
collaboration with actress Zooey Deschanel. Q, this afternoon after
your local noon show on CBC Radio One.
6. INSIDE TRACK: ***Heard at 2:30 p.m. only in Winnipeg***Not heard in
all locations***
Eric Lindros' NHL career was cut short by a series of concussions.
Now, the former hockey star has begun a new career as the Ombudsman
for the NHL Players' Association. Hear all about it this week on The
Inside Track. Also, a couple of Olympic Trading Cards. Soccer player
Kara Lang says living in both Vancouver and Los Angeles suits her
vegan lifestyle. And archer Crispin Duenas feels that being a Physics
major helps him stay on target. That's this week on The Inside Track,
with Robin Brown, this afternoon at 3:30 (4 NT) on CBC Radio One.
7. ALIEN NATION:
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 wonders at
the high-tech world occupied by young people now. It's a 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, tonight at
7:30 (8 NT) on CBC Radio One.
8. OUTFRONT:
On the edge of the ocean in Clarke's Beach on Newfoundland's lovely
Conception Bay, Antje Springmann came upon the home of her dreams.
They hesitated at first, but finally she and her husband bought it and
moved it. It's a traditional "biscuit box" house with yellow trim and
a red door=85.and the friendly spirit of the previous owner! Outfront,
tonight at 8:45 (9:15 NT) on CBC Radio One.
9. IDEAS:
The pitch of the human voice has been dropping for centuries. For
reasons that are partly physiological and partly cultural, men and
women are pitching their voices lower. High (particularly male) voices
are no longer considered desirable. Tonight on Ideas, Anne Mullens
explores the physiological, musical and cultural influences that
affect the way men speak and sing, focusing on changing perceptions of
what is authoritative, attractive, persuasive and masculine. "Where
Have All the Tenors Gone?", tonight on Ideas at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
10. WORLD OF MYSTERY: ***Also heard Friday at 11:30 a.m. (noon NT) on
CBC Radio One***
A young woman - a wildlife conservation worker - lies in a psychiatric
hospital, traumatised, babbling in a language she has never learned,
and refusing to open her clenched eyes. Has she unwittingly awakened
something dark, primitive and unspeakable in the mountains and ravines
of the remote Moehau Range in the north island of New Zealand? Or has
she herself committed an unspeakable crime and is feigning insanity?
Tonight on The World of Mystery, "The Moehau", by Gary Henderson,
stirs up mythological undercurrents from New Zealand's ancient past,
disturbing the placid surface of modern beliefs and fears. Hear Part
One on The World of Mystery, tonight at 11 (11:30 NT) on CBC Radio
One. (CONCLUDES NEXT WEEK)
11. WIRETAP:
Meet Picasso Goldstein this week on WireTap. Behind every great
artist, there is another great artist whose ideas were ripped off.
This week on WireTap, discover the true genius behind the legendary
Picasso: his little-known contem****ary, Picasso Goldstein. Also,
Howard takes a stab at live radio re****ting as he investigates
Jonathan's many dark secrets. That's WireTap, with Jonathan Goldstein,
tonight at 11:30 (midnight NT) on CBC Radio One.
12. AND THE WINNER IS=85:
Electricity's done a lot of great things for music, but there have
also been a few side-effects. For better or for worse, wherever you
go today, music is playing - in a restaurant, in a store, at the mall,
when you're on hold on the phone. Are we suffering from musical
overload? How did this happen? Find out tonight when And the Winner
Is=85presents Episode Five of The Wire - with music by Erik Satie, Ella
Fitzgerald and Brian Eno. And the Winner Is=85tonight at midnight (12:30
