HOTSHEET FOR MONDAY AUGUST 4, 2008
-- RADIO ONE --
1. THE CURRENT:
City planners used to be focused on cars - traffic flow, and moving
vehicles smoothly and efficiently into, through and out of the city.
But now their focus is ****fting to pedestrians. This morning, The
Current's City Hall Confidential panel reconvenes, with urban affairs
re****ters from Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, to discuss how their
cities are giving the green light to foot traffic. That's on The
Current, with guest host Erica Johnson, this morning after the 8:30
news (9 NT) on CBC Radio One.
2. ALIEN NATION: ***Also heard Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. (8 NT) on CBC
Radio One***
Moving in with a new partner can be a very daunting experience. And
it's much more complicated when it means blending two families. Hear
what teens think about the experience today on Alien Nation. You'll
also meet a teenager who reinvents himself in the image of a musical
icon. Ultimately, he finds his strategy for popularity and success is
flawed ... and nearly fatally flawed, at that. Apparently, starting
over comes with a price. That's on Alien Nation, this morning at 9:30
(10 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
It's part environmental quest, part travelling party - and a whole lot
of very hard work. Tree-planting may be the quintessential Canadian
summer pursuit. Today on Sounds Like Canada, host Steve Burgess hears
from some retired tree-planters about the tree-planting experience,
how it influenced their lives, and where they are today. That's on
Sounds Like Canada, this morning at 10 (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
4. SWIMMING TO CHINA:
The Beijing Olympics begin next week. And in the lead-up to the Games,
CBC Radio presents Swimming to China", a week-long series of dramas
created by Greg Nelson and Adam Pettle. The drama focuses on the
interwoven stories of four very different Canadian swimmers, each
hoping to compete in Beijing, as they prepare for the Olympic Trials.
Each has her own pressures, each her own demons, each her own
resources. Their stories, separate and together, offer a glimpse
behind the glamour into what it takes to play for the biggest stakes
in the athletic world - Olympic gold. In Episode One=85Sam Shuttleworth
is 27 - almost over the hill for an Olympic swimmer - and this is her
last shot. She faces a public that remembers her younger self. Can
she dig deep enough to gut it out against a younger, faster, rival and
make a comeback? Hear her story on Swimming to China, this morning at
11 (11:30 NT) on CBC radio One.
5. WHITE COAT, BLACK ART:
If you've tried to find a family doctor lately, you know how tough it
can be. About five million Canadians don't have one. And that makes it
easy for doctors to pick and choose which patients they want to take,
and which ones they won't. The College of Physicians and Surgeons in
Ontario is coming out with new guidelines outlining what doctors can
and cannot ask perspective patients. On this week's show, meet a
doctor who is screening new patients, and find out what his colleagues
think of it all. White Coat, Black Art, this morning at 11:30 (noon
NT) on CBC Radio One.
6. WHIPPED CREAM AND OTHER DELIGHTS FROM MOM'S AND DAD'S RECORDS:
***Not heard in all locations***
Back in the mid-Sixties, trumpeter and bandleader Herb Alpert had a
couple of big instrumental hits - "A Taste of Honey" and "Tijuana
Taxi". And he released an album called "Whipped Cream and Other
Delights", which showed up in every parental record collection in
North America, despite s****ting a cover that showed a young woman
wearing nothing but - you guessed it - whipped cream. This Monday,
join Kent Hoffman and some special guests as he plumbs the record
collections of his parents and his friends' parents, culling musical
memories and stories. Whipped Cream and Other Delights from Mom's and
Dad's Records, Monday at noon (12:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
7. TEA IN THE WHYTE HOUSE: ***Not heard in all locations***
Catharine Robb Whyte was the daughter of one of Boston's most
distinguished families. At art school, she met a Banff painter and
outdoorsman named Peter Whyte. Together, they established a home in
the Canadian Rockies, where they painted and entertained other artists
for most of the middle years of the twentieth century. Their
collection of art and artifacts is now the basis for the Whyte Museum
of the Canadian Rockies. Ideas host Paul Kennedy sat down for "Tea In
the Whyte House" on June 13th, 2005 - on what would have been
Catharine Whyte's ninety-ninth birthday-with a number of Catharine's
friends. The result is a show that celebrates the life and legacy of a
truly under-appreciated Canadian artist. Share "Tea in the Whyte
House", Monday from 1 p.m. to 2 (half an hour later in NT) on CBC
Radio One.
8. Q: ***You can also hear highlights from this afternoon's edition of
Q tonight after the 10 p.m. news on CBC Radio One***
Jian Ghome**** returns to the helm of Q today. And to celebrate,
they'll bring back three favourite interviews from the past season,
each with a Canadian who's become a household name around the world.
You'll hear conversations with Jeopardy host Alex Trebek, Anne Murray
and William Shatner. That's on Q, with Jian Ghome****, this afternoon
after your local noon show on CBC Radio One.
9. THE CHOICE: **Heard in all locations this occasion***
Isaac Stern was much more than a great violinist. Stern died in 2001
but his influence is still felt. He helped to save Carnegie Hall, and
he was a mentor to the likes of Yo-Yo Ma and Pinchas Zukerman. This
week on The Choice, an Ideas interview with Isaac Stern, recorded in
1980. The Choice, this afternoon at 3:30 (4 NT) on CBC Radio One.
10. HEATWAVE: ***Not heard in all locations***
Heatwave is your radio companion for almost anything you might be
doing on the August 4th holiday - lying in the sun, having a party in
the backyard, driving down the road with the windows open. Heatwave
will provide the soundtrack for your holiday afternoon with a
collection of great songs brought to you by a great host, Sol Guy.
Sol has some great hiphop, rock 'n' roll, and some guilty musical
pleasures that'll make you smile and get your foot tapping. Foot
tapping? That's the least of it. You might just have to get up and
dance. This is a Heatwave you'll be glad to experience. Heatwave,
this afternoon at 4 p.m. (4:30 ET) on CBC Radio One.
11. DIET FOR A HUNGRY PLANET: ***Also heard Wednesday morning at 9:30
(10 NT) on CBC Radio One***
It's been 10 years since activists and consumers first resisted the
premise and the promise of genetically modified foods. But amid
current concerns about food shortages and soaring prices, researchers
and farmers are mobilizing to pressure governments to embrace GM
crops. This evening on Diet For a Hungry Planet, a debate that
reveals many of the fears around G-M foods - or "Frankenfoods", as
their detractors call them - are alive and well. Diet For a Hungry
Planet, this evening at 7:30 (8 NT) on CBC Radio One.
12. DNA FILES:
The world may be on the verge of a medical revolution, with treatments
for diseases such as Parkinson's and cancer right around the corner.
But despite the hope and hype surrounding genetic technology, there is
also a difficult set of unanswered questions. How sound is the
research on genetic medicine? Is it ethical and dedicated to the
public good? This week on The DNA Files, a look at three technologies
that have raised public debate: gene therapy, stem cell research and
xenotransplanation. That's "Genetic Medicine: Prescription for
Conflict", on The DNA Files, tonight at 8 (8:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
13. IDEAS:
Alice Munro, Austin Clarke and Mordecai Richler have acknowledged
their debt to him. From the start of his career at the CBC in 1948,
Robert Weaver - radio producer, editor and anthologist - committed
himself to discovering and broadcasting the work of new Canadian
writers, on programs such as Anthology and CBC Wednesday Night.
Tonight on Ideas, Montreal writer Elaine Kalman Naves presents an
intimate ****trait of this shy man, who wore oversized gl*****, smoked
a pipe, and influenced the course of Canadian literature for half a
century and beyond. Hear Part One of "The Godfather of CanLit",
tonight on Ideas, at 9 p.m. (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One. (CONCLUDES
TOMORROW)
14. QUIRKS & QUARKS:
You may think you're pretty good at juggling two or three things at
once - writing a do***ent, checking your email, answering your
Blackberry. And then there's talking on a cell phone while you're
driving. Multi-tasking seems to be what the world demands these days.
But maybe your brain isn't designed to do that. And maybe it doesn't
do it very well. Find out more on Quirks and Quarks, with host Bob
McDonald, tonight at 11 (11:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
