-- RADIO ONE --
1. THE CURRENT:
It's been tried with Bridge, Curling, Ballroom Dancing and more. Now
let's see if Video Games can make it. This morning, The Current heads
for the Digital Games, an international video-game competition that's
lobbying for Olympic recognition. Should video games could or should
become an Olympic s****t? Also, a re****t from CBC's Curt Petrovich
about the Canadian Men's Eight rowing team and its efforts to overcome
a devastating loss at the 2004 Olympics. They're psych-ing up for what
might be the team's last chance at Olympic gold. That's on The
Current, with guest host Erica Johnson, 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***
A few weeks ago, exasperated by gang violence, Calgary's Police Chief
called on parents to be more diligent in supervising their kids. This
week on Alien Nation, Judith Mackin asks how much responsibility
parents can and should take for the successes and failures of their
teenaged children. You'll hear from parents who seem to have done all
the right things to help their children succeed. And in some cases,
their children have succeeded. But in some cases, the children have
gone inexplicably wrong. Teens talk about what it's like to long for
an absent parent, and what it's like to find a parental substitute
when their real mothers and fathers can't or won't do the job. That's
on Alien Nation, this morning at 9:30 (10 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
In Winnipeg, hospitals are coming clean to patients these days when
they make a mistake. They're even willing to compensate patients
who've suffered because of a mistake -- a first for Canada, where
these things are usually left up to the courts. Today on Sounds Like
Canada, host Steve Burgess talks with Donna Davis, a mother who wanted
answers after losing her son in a Regina hospital. Then he talks with
Dr. Rob Robson, the doctor behind Winnipeg's new approach. That's
Sounds Like Canada, this morning at 10 (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
4. WHITE COAT, BLACK ART:
Many people think it's somehow unethical for doctors to want to make a
good living. Call it the tension between the Hippocratic Oath and the
almighty buck. But most people don't understand just how much it costs
for a doctor to stay in business. And they have no idea about all the
ways in which docs are augmenting their practices to try to stay
afloat. Find out, on 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***
Jian is back at Q for real this week, and he's coming to you from
Edmonton today. That city is up to its autoharp in folkiness this
weekend thanks to the Edmonton Folk Festival. So Q will have plenty of
coverage from the Festival, including a conversation with Michael
Franti, as well as a live session with Brendan Canning and Broken
Social Scene.
That's Q, 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***
Most etiquette guides will tell you that two topics to avoid in polite
conversation are politics and religion. Religious language can be
loaded with different meanings. For some people, the word
"spirituality" is deeply personal, sacred and comforting. For others,
it brings to mind cult compounds and religious zealots. Today on The
Choice, producer Frank Faulk examines our mixed feelings about
religious language. "God and Other Dirty Words," today on The
Choice...The Choice, this afternoon at 3:30 (4 NT) on CBC Radio One.
7. DIET FOR A HUNGRY PLANET:
You can't separate food and diet from culture and identity. In
France, for instance, the concept of the citizen****p and geography of
food is still strong. Which is why French food-lovers became so
agitated when it was learned that the country's cornichons - tiny
green pickles - have been outsourced to India. Find out why a little
green pickle got Frenchmen up in arms, on Diet For a Hungry Planet,
this evening at 7:30 (8 NT) on CBC Radio One.
8. THE DNA FILES:
When scientists announced they had sequenced the human genome, much
was made of the new potential to conquer the infectious diseases that
have plagued humans for centuries. Tonight on The DNA Files, you'll
hear from leading researchers in the field of microbiology who are
using their knowledge of DNA to disarm and possibly defeat the bugs
that harm and kill human beings. The DNA Files, tonight at 8 (8:30 NT)
on CBC Radio One.
9. IDEAS:
Energy is not just a fuel. It's an entire system that links our
civilization together, says David Sanborn Scott, a hydrogen energy
expert. Energy is like a currency: it can be used like money for
different purposes. Throughout history, new energy sources and systems
have replaced old ones. Understanding how this works is essential to
combating catastrophic climate change. Tonight on Ideas, Part One of
"The Hydrogen Solution", featuring David Sanborn Scott in
conversation with host Paul Kennedy. In Part One, Scott warns against
panicking ourselves into making bad decisions. That's Part One of "The
Hydrogen Solution" tonight on Ideas at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
(Hear Parts Two and Three tomorrow night and Wednesday)
10. QUIRKS & QUARKS:
It's a potentially devastating irony: BC's immense forests of lodge-
pole pine, once looked at as a defence against climate change, have
been ravaged by Mountain Pine Beetles, which thrive in warmer
temperatures. And now those forests have started to release huge
amounts of carbon, which will make the problem of global warming
worse. Tonight on Quirks & Quarks, meet a Canadian scientist who's
tracking the situation, plus the authors of a new book that warns that
we need to make big changes quickly, if we're to avoid making a bad
global warming scenario very much worse. That's on Quirks and Quarks,
with host Bob McDonald, tonight at 11 (11:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
-- RADIO TWO --
11. HERE'S TO YOU:
Catherine has plenty of stirring music today on Here's to You,
including Haydn's Symphony No. 102, Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries and
Britten's Metamorphoses After Ovid. As well, you'll hear music from
Bellini's opera Norma along with music inspired by Bellini. That's on
Here's to You, with host Catherine Belyea, this morning at 9 (9:30 NT)
on CBC Radio Two.

13. DISCDRIVE:
Jurgen will treat your ears to Patrick Cassidy's captivating music for
The Children of Lir today on DiscDrive. As well, you'll hear
Mussorgsky's Night on Bare Mountain, along with Joey de Francesco's
version of the classic Basin Street Blues, plus a musical setting of
some rather naughty limericks. That's on DiscDrive, with host Jurgen
Gothe, this afternoon at 3 (3:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
14. TONIC:
Katie has tunes from Dione Taylor, Nina Simone and Joss Stone this
evening on Tonic. You'll also hear from the Steve Koven Trio,
trumpeter Mike Herriott, pianists Joe Sample and Horace Parlan and
guitarist Reg Schwager. Plus a set of tunes from vocalist Carmen McRae
recorded live at the Blue Note in New York in 1983. Tonic, with Katie
Malloch, this evening at 6:00 p.m. (6:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
15. CANADA LIVE:
Great friends as well as musical partners, Oscar Lopez and James
Keelaghan stir up Celtic tradition with Latin spirit and call their
unique musical collaboration "Celtino". Under the name 'Compadres',
Lopez and Keelaghan honour their traditional roots while exploring new
ideas. Hear them in concert in Calgary tonight on Canada Live. Later,
two of Canada's blues veterans, Big Dave McLean and Doc MacLean,
caught on the Calgary stop of a cross-Canada tour. Canada Live,
tonight at 8 p.m. (8:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
16. THE SIGNAL:
Laurie has hypnotic music tonight on The Signal from a concert by
Montreal percussion ensemble Sixtrum with the saxophone quartet
Quasar, in performance at the University of Montreal. You'll hear
Geof Holbrook's composition 'Glitch', inspired by the electronic music
of Aphex Twin and Squarepusher, but performed entirely on acoustic
instruments. There's also a very lively and percussive work from
Indonesian/Dutch composer Roderick de Man entitled 'Zest'. That's on
The Signal, with Laurie Brown, tonight at 10 p.m. (10:30 NT) on CBC
Radio Two.
