HOTSHEET FOR FRIDAY JULY 25, 2008
-- RADIO ONE --
1. THE CURRENT:
The latest gang violence in Calgary has exasperated Police Chief Rick
Hanson pointing an accusing finger at parents. And he's not alone.
This morning on The Current, meet two experts who disagree about who -
and what - is to blame for the problems. Also on the program=85if the
big-screen version of The X-Files is a hit, part of the reason will be
sheer nostalgia for agents Mulder and Scully. So how predictable is
the Nostalgia Factor? Meet a writer who's calculated a "nostalgorithm"
- to understand how nostalgia and pop culture work together to make an
old hit new again. That's on The Current, with guest host Mike
Finnerty, this morning at 8:30 (9:00 NT) on CBC Radio One.
2. GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES:
There are not many women who can tell the stories Elizabeth Hudson has
to tell. Most like her die young. And if they make it out alive, they
keep the past a secret. Elizabeth used to work the streets in Calgary
and Vancouver as a heroin-addicted prostitute. She managed to escape
that world. Today on Global Perspectives, in a do***entary from CBC
Radio's Outfront, she describes how she went from *** trade worker to
soccer mom. That's on Global Perspectives, this morning at 9:30 (10
NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
You know that catch-phrase about=85um=85"breeding" like a bunny? Well,
bunnies apparently aren't in it with=85wild boars. And that's made boars
a real nuisance in some places. They dig up crops and generally wreak
havoc when they run wild. Alberta has so many that the province has
declared them to be pests. At the same time, boar meat is considered
by some to be a delicacy. This morning on Sounds Like Canada, host
Steve Burgess talks with a man who makes his living raising wild
boars. That's on Sounds Like Canada, this morning at 10 (10:30 NT) on
CBC Radio One.
4. WORLD OF MYSTERY:
PRON: Moehau =3D MOH'-ee-hoh
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, this morning at 11:30 (noon NT) on CBC
Radio One. (CONCLUDES NEXT WEEK)
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***
The Just for Laughs comedy festival is heading from Montreal to
Toronto this week, and some of this weekend's events feature one of
the most versatile and respected comic actors around - Larry Miller.
The witty character actor's most recent role was in the big-screen
version of "Get Smart", and he's also a core member of the improv
group that's the backbone of Christopher Guest's inventive comedies,
such as "A Might Wind" and "For Your Consideration." Larry Miller
joins guest host Nora Young today on Q, this afternoon after your
local noon show on CBC Radio One.
6. C'EST LA VIE IN THE SUMMER: ***Heard at 2:30 p.m. only in
Winnipeg***Not heard in all locations***
Former prime ministers Jean Chretien and Brian Mulroney had very
different styles when it came to governing Canada. They also had very
different ways of writing their memoirs. And it turns out they even
took a very different approach to translating those memoirs. Meet the
translators this week on C'est la vie in the Summer, with Bernard St.
Laurent, this afternoon at 3:30 (4 NT) on CBC Radio One.
7. REVISION QUEST:
If you focus on news re****ts, it's easy to get the impression that
reserves in this country are all pockets of poverty, inequity, and
vice, run by incompetent, corrupt Aboriginal cliques. Darrell Dennis
knows the truth is a little more complicated than that. After all,
he grew up on a reserve in B.C. And this week on ReVision Quest, he
teams up with a successful native entrepreneur and a helpful historian
to get at the real story of reserves in Canada. ReVision Quest,
tonight at 7:30 (8 NT) on CBC Radio One.
8. OUTFRONT:
Montreal-born Treson was raised in a Jamaican foster home from the
time he was five years old. Returning to Canada at the age of
seventeen, he brought skills and values with him that are paying off
big-time in his career as a reggae artist. A ****trait of Treson on
Outfront, this evening at 8:45 (9:15 NT) on CBC Radio One.
9. IDEAS:
"In Your Ear" explores "Altered States and Inner Voices" tonight on
Ideas. Jody ****ter from Thunder Bay wonders: can the voices of Ojibwe
ancestors be stilled forever by a hydroelectric dam? And from Thelon
Oeming in Toronto, "Those Tormenting Voices", the story of a jazz
musician who's been diagnosed with schizophrenia. That's tonight on
Ideas at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
10. RANDY BACHMAN'S VINYL TAP:
Gerry and the Pacemakers asked the musical question, "How Do You Do
What You Do To Me?" It's a question North Americans could have asked
any of the British musical acts that swept across the Atlantic in the
Sixties and Seventies. How did they have such an appeal? It started
with Beatlemania, but the Fab Four paved the way for any number of
good, bad and downright awful British Invaders. And judging by your
reaction to the last edition of Vinyl Tap Randy Bachman did about the
Brits, you still can't get enough. This week, Randy takes another look
at some of the more influential British bands including Cliff Richard
and the Shadows, the Kinks, the Troggs, the Animals and many more.
Randy Bachman's Vinyl Tap, tonight at 11 (11:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.

11. HERE'S TO YOU:
Catherine helps out a Nova Scotia woman today on Here's to You. Like
many of us, this listener needs lively music to get her started in the
morning, so Catherine obliges with something from Carmen. She'll also
help a Michigan man decide whether to buy a CD of music by Japanese
composer Taka**** Yo****matsu. Also, Beethoven's Emperor Concerto played
by pianist Anton Kuerti, at the behest of a man who chauffeurs guest
artists for Symphony Nova Scotia. Here's to You, with host Catherine
Belyea, this morning at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
12. STUDIO SPARKS:
(no advance info available)
13. DISCDRIVE:
CBC Records has re-issued Anton Kuerti's set of the Beethoven Piano
Concertos. Hear highlights this afternoon on DiscDrive. You'll also
hear Sir Michael Tippett's rarely-heard Concerto for Double String
Orchestra, the Faure Pavane courtesy of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra,
and music by Jim Byrnes from his disc "Fresh Horses". That's on
DiscDrive, with host Jurgen Gothe, this afternoon at 3 (3:30 NT) on
CBC Radio Two.
14. TONIC:
Start your weekend on the right note with Tonic this evening. Katie
will have some jet set pop from Nicola Conte, a bit of space-age
bachelor pad music from Juan Garcia Esquivel and classic jazz from
Duke Ellington and Johnny Hodges. You'll also hear a set of tunes with
a Latin vibe from singer/pianist Carol Welsman recorded only last
month in Montreal. Tonic, with Katie Malloch, this evening at 6:00
p.m. (6:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
15. CANADA LIVE:
Jamaica to Toronto is the revival of a band formed more than 30 years
ago by musicians who fused the sounds of their Jamaican homeland with
contem****ary funk and soul to create a new sound that has definitely
stood the test of time. Hear them tonight on Canada Live, recorded at
Sunfest, London, Ontario's remarkable free festival of global music.
Then it's the eclectic duo of Maryem and Ernie Tollar leading their
Cairo-Toronto Collective in a concert of traditional Arabic music and
originals at Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto. With special guest Bassam
Bishara on oud, it's a dream band, bringing Toronto audiences great
jazz and Middle-Eastern music blended live on stage. That's Canada
Live, tonight at 8 p.m. (8:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
16. THE SIGNAL:
What's in a name? Well if it's the name of the band in tonight's
concert feature on The Signal, the name poses a bit of a problem. The
name contains a word not generally used on radio - especially CBC. So
how about a clue? It begins with "Holy" and the second word rhymes
with "duck". Must pose a real problem on the marquee any place they
play, eh? Apart from the afore-not-mentioned band, you'll also hear
brand new tracks by Tanya Tagaq, School of Language, Mr. Scruff and
Parenthetical Girls. That's on The Signal, with guest host Odario
Williams, tonight at 10 p.m. (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
