HOTSHEET FOR MONDAY JULY 28, 2008
-- RADIO ONE --
1. THE CURRENT:
If the Pentagon has its way, about 10 per cent of the inmates at
Guantanamo will face trial. The rest face repatriation or
resettlement. But that's not as simple as it might sound. Some
countries are refusing to take their citizens back, and others are off
the list because of their human rights record. This morning, The
Current explores the options. Also on the program=85South Africa's
traditional healers are a respected and valued part of that nation's
culture. But some of them claim to have a cure for AIDS. And that's
raising deep concern in the medical community. Nonetheless, many HIV/
AIDS patients believe traditional healers have the answer. A
do***entary re****t, 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***
Teenagers and ***. It's a combination that's guaranteed to give just
about any parent serious anxiety at one point or another. This week on
Alien Nation, host and mother Judith Mackin asks teens how they feel
about love and ***, in a society that uses *****c images to sell just
about everything. Teens talk about the death of dating and the
pressure on them to have ***. They're also painfully honest about why
some are waiting for marriage or for that special someone they can
trust. That's on Alien Nation, this morning at 9:30 (10 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
3. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
John Meier spends much of his time and money pursuing one goal - to
collect a first edition copy of every English-language book to win the
Governor-General's Literary Award for Fiction. His quest has been
successful, but the journey to expose Canadians to their literary past
is far from over. Today on Sounds Like Canada, John Meier tells host
Steve Burgess about his CanLit quest. That's Sounds Like Canada, this
morning at 10 (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
4. WHITE COAT, BLACK ART:
Can't find a family doctor? Maybe you should go to a clinic run by a
Nurse Practitioner. Want your hip replaced in half the time? Go to
Winnipeg, where a new breed of health care worker - physician
assistants - is pitching in alongside orthopedic surgeons and sla****ng
wait times in the process. Maybe it's time for doctors to make room
for some new and different actors on the health care stage. This week
on White Coat, Black Art, host Dr. Brian Goldman makes a symbolic move
in that direction by welcoming a co-host - Michelle Acorn, a nurse
practitioner. Together, they'll explore new talent and old turf in the
health care system. 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***
Jesse Wente, whom you've heard on several CBC programs, usually
sharing his passion for movies, is in the host's chair today on Q. And
appropriately, he'll welcome Corey Haim, the Toronto-born actor who
rose to stardom as a child in movies such as "Stand By Me". But Haim's
adult career - and his life - haven't been that easy. Now, he's
working his way back into the limelight through a raw reality series
called "The Two Coreys." He'll talk about what he's doing now, why
he's so determined to make it again as an actor. Also=85Blake Bell,
biographer of comic book legend - and recluse - Steve Ditko.
That's on Q, with guest host Jesse Wente, 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***
Michael Scheuer is the former head of the CIA's section dedicating to
hunting down Osama bin Laden and stopping any terrorist threats from
that quarter. He's also the author of "Imperial Hubris: Why the West
is Losing the War on Terror." He has high praise for General Pervez
Musharraf, and a little less praise for his own government. Today on
The Choice, two interviews from The Current, including a conversation
with former CIA member Michael Scheuer. 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***
Back in February, a trio of backyard chickens got Halifax residents
all a-flutter. Most cities in Canada have bylaws against raising farm
animals within city limits. But it used to be okay for people to raise
a few chickens or other small livestock in cities, so why the change
of mind? This week on Diet For a Hungry Planet, how local food
movements are pu****ng for a return to urban agriculture. Also on the
program, helping newcomers keep their farming skills, even if they
settle in Canada's cities. Diet For a Hungry Planet, with Anna Maria
Tremonti, this evening at 7:30 (8 NT) on CBC Radio One.
8. THE DNA FILES:
Ecology is the study of whole living systems. Biologists who study how
plants, animals, microbes and other living things interact are using
genetics as a powerful new tool. What they're learning has many
applications, including wildlife conservation, planning park
boundaries, and saving endangered species. Scientists are also using
DNA as a tool to create new life forms in order to clean up toxins in
the environment. This week on DNA Files, learn how scientists are
applying DNA tools to ecology. "Call of the Wild", on The DNA Files,
tonight at 8 (8:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
9. IDEAS:
South Korea's "sea women" have been harvesting commercial treasures
from the ocean floor since the fourth century - abalone, sea urchin,
sea snail. With only a few tools and fi****ng baskets slung over their
shoulders, these sunburnt and wrinkled grandmothers can dive up to
twenty metres on a single breath. Their dives mix dexterity, desire
and death. Tonight on Ideas, Vancouver writer and broadcaster Gloria
Chang returns to the country of her birth for an intimate ****trayal of
these cultural icons and to unravel a matriarchal mystery: Why do only
women take to the waters? "The Sea Women", tonight on Ideas, at 9
(9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
10. QUIRKS & QUARKS:
Quirks and Quarks looks back tonight at three of their favourite
science books from this season. There's Heather Robertson's new
biography of Joseph Tyrell, the explorer who found the first dinosaur
skull in Canada. Then, a conversation with West Coast photographer
and naturalist Ian McAllister about the wild wolves of the Great Bear
Rainforest in BC. And finally, an interview with the author of "Good
Germs, Bad Germs", a book that examines our changing relation****p with
the micro-organisms in our environment. That's Quirks and Quarks,
with host Bob McDonald, tonight at 11 (11:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.

whose parrots click their beaks in time with whatever's playing on the
show that day. Also, a Toronto listener recalls a performance of Aaron
Copland's Clarinet Concerto at a live concert in Rome, and a woman in
Gilford, Ontario remembers seeing the legendary American contralto

there. That's on Here's to You, with Catherine Belyea, this morning at

Gould Studio. Join these acclaimed musicians as they demonstrate the
hypnotic rhythms and the power of the calypso lyric, uncovering the

16. THE SIGNAL:
Laurie Brown brings you brand new music from veteran trip-hoppers
****tishead and the album 'Third' tonight on The Signal. Also,

philosophical song 'What Doesn't Kill Us Can Only Make Us Stronger...
That Is Of Course If It's Not Making Us Weaker'. Also tonight, Part
One of a three-part broadcast of Lullaby Baxter's musical 'Garden
Cities of Tomorrow'. It's a charming and peculiar fable about a woman
who just adores doing dishes. Her husband can't seem to dirty nearly
enough dishes, so Dolores takes in orphans, collects dirty dishes from
neighbours, and even has strangers send her dirty dishes in the mail.
The Signal, with Laurie Brown, tonight at 10 p.m. (10:30 NT) on CBC
Radio Two.
