HOTSHEET FOR FRIDAY AUGUST 1, 2008
-- RADIO ONE --
1. THE CURRENT:
Much of the preventative effort in the global fight against HIV/AIDS
has focused on social problems - risky behaviours that are likely to
spread the disease: intravenous drug use, *** with multiple partners,
and so on. And that worries Elizabeth Pisani. The journalist-turned-
epidemiologist warns that the AIDS establishment is mid-directing its
efforts. Find out why, this morning on The Current. Also, *** and the
Sects: fears that some elements of the Christian right are spreading a
very conservative ***ual ideology - not by being prudes, but by
claiming to have better *** than liberal libertines. That's on The
Current, this morning at 8:30 (9:00 NT) on CBC Radio One.
2. GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES:
For more than fifty years of its history, Australia was a British
penal colony. Englishmen who were convicted of crimes could be
"trans****ted" or ****pped to Australia, where a life of hard labour
usually awaited them. Dense bush, mountains and sea were a greater
barrier to escape for the trans****ted convicts than any prison walls.
But some were still determined to gain their freedom. Their
resourcefulness and resilience make Australians today proud to boast
of their own inherited 'convict streak'. This week on Global
Perspectives, a look at that history, and how the urge to escape is
still alive and well in its prisons. Global Perspectives, this morning
at 9:30 (10 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
Bank Street is Ottawa' s gay neighbourhood. But not everyone in the
nation's capital wants to give it that official designation. Today on
Sounds Like Canada, host Steve Burgess talks with some people who are
directly involved with the campaign over the pros and cons of having
an official "gaybourhood". That's on Sounds Like Canada, this morning
at 10 (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
4. WORLD OF MYSTERY:
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 the
conclusion on The World of Mystery, 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***
Wakey-wakey, Dead-heads. Your heroes are going orchestral. Atlanta-
based composer Lee Johnson has written a 50-minute piece based on the
music of the Grateful Dead, and it's premiering tonight in a
performance by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Today on Q, guest
host Jesse Wente talks with composer Lee Johnson and the Baltimore
Symphony's conductor Lucas Richman. 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***
A beautiful but not-too-nice princess, a foolish prince, and what
happens when they meet. Sounds like a fairy-tale? You're right! It's
"The Princess of Tomboso", and it's the classic French Canadian tale
that bilingual story-teller Marylyn Peringer presents this week on
C'est la vie in the Summer. 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:
Many of Canada's First Nations communities have found prosperity after
years of financial privation, thanks to legalized gambling. But is
gambling a reliable long-term fix for the cycle of poverty and
despair, or will it just replace the old cycle with a new one? As
you'll discover this week on ReVision Quest, this isn't the first time
gambling has played an im****tant role in native life, and it probably
won't be the last. ReVision Quest, with host Darrell Dennis, tonight
at 7:30 (8 NT) on CBC Radio One.
8. OUTFRONT:
Outfront wraps up the special four-part series "At Street Level"
tonight. It profiles four people working on the front lines of social
services. Tonight, "The Listener". When there's a hostage-taking, or
someone's armed and barricaded into a building, or threatening to
commit suicide, Sgt. Dave Black is the "go-to" officer at Winnipeg
Police Services. He says he doesn't "talk people down" - he "listens
them down." Find out how he does it, on Outfront, tonight at 8:45
(9:15 NT) on CBC Radio One.
9. IDEAS:
What is it about trains that inspires passion and poetry, music and
memory? Why do people tend to confess their innermost thoughts once
they get aboard? Is it just that a train seems like a self-contained
world, safe from listening ears and prying eyes? Or is there something
else? Tonight, Ideas presents another episode of In Your Ear, a
continuing series of new do***entaries. Experience "The Song of the
Train", tonight on Ideas at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
10. RANDY BACHMAN'S VINYL TAP:
Luck seems to have an awful lot to do with success or failure in the
music industry. And this week on Vinyl Tap, Randy Bachman describes
how the fortunes of one exceptional record company went up - and down.
It's the story of Brunswick Records, the label that gave the world
soul singer Jackie Wilson, Gene Chandler, Isaac Hayes, Laverne Baker
and many others. The Brunswick story=85this week on Randy Bachman's
Vinyl Tap, tonight at 11 (11:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
