HOTSHEET FOR TUESDAY AUGUST 5, 2008
-- RADIO ONE --
1. THE CURRENT:
It seems as if every time there's an innovation to help the people
trying to catch athletes who use banned substances, the cheaters find
a way around it. This morning on The Current, re****ter Teddy Katz says
that with the Beijing games only three days away, winning the war
against doping relies increasingly on old-fa****oned police work.
That's on The Current, with guest host Erica Johnson, this morning at
8:30 (9:00 NT) on CBC Radio One.
2. THE LATE SHOW: ***Also heard Sunday morning at 11 (11:30 NT) on CBC
Radio One***
Albert Mah was both a bon vivant and daring hero. He was born in 1920
to Chinese immigrant parents in Prince Rupert, British Columbia.
Albert later became a celebrated pilot and flew hundreds of missions
over the treacherous Burma Hump during the Sino-Japanese war. A man of
great courage and loyalty, he risked his life during a dramatic rescue
attempt of family members trapped in the conflict. Tune in to hear
Albert Mah's riveting story. The Late Show, this morning at 9:30 (10
NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
Pamela Anderson returns to her roots today. The Vancouver Island girl
who made good - and then bad - and then maybe good again drops by to
talk with guest host Steve Burgess about her new reality TV show "Pam
- Girl on the Loose" and about her life in the spotlight. Sounds Like
Canada, this morning at 10 (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
4. SWIMMING TO CHINA:
When most people see Olympic athletes, they're either competing, or
reflecting on how they've just done. What most people don't see is the
struggle that went on beforehand, just to make it onto Canada's
Olympic team. All this week, CBC Radio presents Swimming to China, a
series of interwoven dramas that follow four very different swimmers
as they overcome physical and emotional obstacles to make the cut.
Today=85
Emily is 16. She has always been the best. Now the coach is telling
her it's been too easy. Her dad wants to drag her out of the program
to train elsewhere. Can she grow up fast enough to figure out what
she wants and take charge of her own life? Find out, on Swimming to
China, this morning after the 11 a.m. news (11:30 NT) on CBC Radio
One.
5. REVISION QUEST: ***Also heard Friday evening at 7:30 (8 NT) on CBC
Radio One***
Aboriginal people enjoy special hunting and fi****ng rights, based on
their traditional practices. Have they exploited those rights, or have
they had to fight to protect them? With the help of a guide (okay, a
lawyer), host Darrell Dennis hunts through history and fishes for
facts. He also revisits a notorious fi****ng feud and learns Arctic
etiquette from an Inuit hunter. The results are surprising - and
sometimes hilarious. That's ReVision Quest, this morning at 11:30
(noon NT) on CBC Radio One.
6. Q: ***You can also hear highlights from this afternoon's edition of
Q tonight after the 10 p.m. news on CBC Radio One***
Today on Q=85a punk icon. Four decades after he began performing, Iggy
Pop continues to have a major impact on the music scene. He'll join
guest host Jonathan Torrens today on Q, this afternoon after your
local noon show on CBC Radio One.
7. CROSSING BOUNDARIES: ***Heard at 2:30 p.m. only in Winnipeg***Not
heard in all locations***Also heard Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. (noon NT)
on CBC Radio One***
If you think teens in North America are hooked on video games, take a
trip to South Korea. Gaming has become that country's national s****t,
not surprising in a nation where 90% of homes have high-speed Internet
connections. At last year's gaming final, more than 70,000 fans turned
up to watch professional computer gamers do battle. This is a country
where top players are treated like rock stars and can earn over a
quarter-of-a-million dollars a year (but must practise 13 hours a
day). This week on Crossing Boundaries, a do***entary from Radio New
Zealand that looks at why millions of Koreans watch other people play
computer games. Crossing Boundaries, this afternoon at 3:30 (4 NT) on
CBC Radio One.
8. MASHUP: **Also heard Thursday at 11:30 a.m. (noon NT) ***
If your parents were born somewhere else=85but you were born in Canada=85
what are you? Are you a first-generation Canadian? Or a second-
generation immigrant? How much do you identify with your parents'
culture? Or with being Canadian? This week on Mashup, in order to get
at some answers, host Geeta Nadkarni hosts a game show called "Who the
DING are you?" and invites three first generation Canadians to play.
This week on Mashup, hear from the generation that lives in between
"something" and "Canadian".
Mashup, with Geeta Nadkarni, tonight at 7:30 (8 NT) on CBC Radio
One.
9. OUTFRONT:
Jamal Robinson is an 18-year-old from Toronto by way of Guyana who
wants to be a radio host. CBC producer Nick Davis is originally from
Jamaica. Outfront paired them up so that Nick could teach Jamal not
only about radio, but also how a young black man can succeed in life
in Canada. Outfront, this evening at 8:45 (9:15 NT) on CBC Radio One.
10. 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 the conclusion of "The Godfather of CanLit",
tonight on Ideas at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
11. VINYL CAFE:
Head for the Vinyl Cafe tonight. Host Stuart McLean and the crew have
been visiting the Hillside Festival in Guelph, Ontario. From the
Festival's main stage, Stuart tells the story of the Lost Chords -
plural this time. Dave hears about an old musical friend who's
searching for a song he wrote and then misplaces years ago. Dave has
the chords and the words stashed away among the memorabilia in his
attic, but he's not sure he'd be doing his old friend a favour by
returning it. Stuart's very special musical guest is singer/songwriter
Ron ***smith. That's this week at The Vinyl Cafe, tonight at 11 p.m.
(11:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
12. THE CHOICE:
Organic food has become the fastest-growing food category on
supermarket shelves. It's a sign that organic products have jumped
from the margins to the mainstream. Last week on The Choice, a
listener asked for Part two of an Ideas series called "Organics Goes
Mainstream." In it, producer Jill Eisen explores the debate between
those who rejoice in the growing popularity of organic food and those
who worry that success will force the movement to compromise its
ideals. Tonight, The Choice presents Part One of "Organics Goes
Mainstream". The Choice, tonight at midnight (12:30 NT) on CBC Radio
One.

13. HERE'S TO YOU:
Enjoy a performance of Parry's "English Suite" today on Here's to You,
from a new recording by the Galiano Ensemble of Victoria. Then it's a
selection of Baroque music by Bohemian composer Zelenka, plus

Catherine Belyea, this morning at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
