1.THE CURRENT:
On The Current ... the story of Bao Tong, a high level Chinese leader
until he spoke out in favour of allowing the pro-democracy
demonstrations in Tiananmen Square back in 1989. He's now under house
arrest and banned from talking to the Chinese media. But not to us.
Bao Tong gives us his take on how the Beijing Olympics are affecting
human rights in China. And, Rioters choked the streets of Montreal
Sunday night after local police shot-to-death an 18-year-old man named
Freddy Villanueva. We'll look at why this one incident sparked such an
immediate and strong reaction and what it says about tensions between
Montreal police and the city's ethnic minorities. That's on The
Current, 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)***CLIP
AVAILABLE - DALET CODE 11967***
If you'd met him, Victor Chrapko would have told you, "I'm just a
Ukrainian pig farmer". But for those who knew him, he was a
visionary, a community leader and "world-class agent of change".
Whether he was banning chemicals from his farm long before organic
became trendy, fighting to preserve family farms or battling a
hazardous waste plant planned for his neighbourhood, he was a tireless
innovator. This week on The Late Show, meet Victor Chrapko through
the memories of his family and friends. The Late Show, with Gordon
Pinsent, this morning at 9:30 (10 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
Imagine, a convention of fiddlers. It's like a gaggle of geese or a
pride of lions, except far more musical. This past weekend, hundreds
of fiddlers gathered in St. John's for the North Atlantic Fiddlers
Convention. This is the first time the convention, conceived in
Scotland 8 years ago, has been held in North America. Sounds Like
Canada host Steve Burgess speaks to fiddlers Alasdair Fraser,
Christina Smith and Matthew Contois. That's Sounds Like Canada, this
morning at 10 (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
4. REVISION QUEST: ***Also heard Friday evening at 7:30 (8 NT) on CBC
Radio One***
Native Canadians get everything for free. Or so the myth goes. This
week on ReVision Quest, host Darrell Dennis puts that theory to the
test. Can he really get free gl*****, free tuition, or even a free
truck just for being an aboriginal person? And if not, where did
people get the idea in the first place? Find out, on ReVision Quest,
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***
(No advance information available)
6. CROSSING BOUNDARIES: ***Heard at 2:30 p.m. only in Winnipeg***Not
heard in all locations***
"Temple prostitute" sounds like a contradiction in terms. But for some
women in India, it's a way of life - one that may be deadly. Joythi is
a young 'devadasi' or temple prostitute. Joythi, her two small
children and her entire family depend on the income she receives from
bestowing her "divine gift" on her clients. Once celibate dancing
girls used in temple ceremonies, the devadasis evolved into what they
are today - and that can be deadly in the age of HIV/AIDS. This week
on Crossing Boundaries, hear "Temple Prostitutes", a do***entary
produced for the BBC World Service by award-winning do***entary-maker
Kati Whitaker. That's on Crossing Boundaries, this afternoon at 3:30
(4 NT) on CBC Radio One.
7. MASHUP: ***Also heard Thursday morning at 11:30 (noon NT) on CBC
Radio One***
In many cultures, seniors expect to be cared for by their families,
often in their children's homes. But that doesn't always happen here
in Canada. This week on Mashup, you'll meet a woman who felt alone in
her B.C. apartment and found a community in an unexpected place.
You'll also hear from members of the "sandwich generation" people with
adult children and elderly parents - as they deal with the present and
plan for the future. And you'll find out how one seniors' facility
tries to accommodate the needs of a very diverse clientele. That's on
Mashup, with Geeta Nadkarni, tonight at 7:30 (8 NT) on CBC Radio
One.
8. OUTFRONT:
Jacqueline Windh just couldn't resist pursuing a certain scammer who
had approached her over the Internet, so she decided to put on her
detective cap and scam her scammer. Find out what happened on
Outfront, this evening at 8:45 (9:15 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 Two of
"The Hydrogen Solution", featuring David Sanborn Scott in
conversation with host Paul Kennedy. That's Part Two of "The Hydrogen
Solution" tonight on Ideas at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One. (Hear
Part Three tomorrow)
10. VINYL CAF=C9:
Head for the Vinyl Cafe this weekend. Host Stuart McLean talks about a
trip to the Northwest Territories. It's one of the places he loves
best, and he'll be sharing stories about the places he visited and
some of the uniquely Northern characters he encountered. The Vinyl
Cafe, tonight at 11 p.m. (11:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
11. THE CHOICE:
Tonight, The Choice continues a series that's been very popular with
listeners. There have already been requests for Part One and Part Two,
and this week it wraps up with a listener request for Part Three of
Organics Goes Mainstream. The series, originally broadcast on Ideas,
examines the growing popularity of organic food. Part Three of
Organics Goes Mainstream, by listener request, on The Choice, tonight
at midnight (12:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.

Catherine plays Songs from the Auvergne today on Here's to You, for a
homesick woman from that lovely region of France who now lives in
Saskatoon. Also, for an artist on BC's Sun****ne Coast, Jean
Coulthard's "Excursions" ballet suite. That's on Here's to You, with
Catherine Belyea, this morning at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
13. STUDIO SPARKS:

Janina Fialkowska & the Chamber Players of Canada have a diet-
conscious version of a Mozart Piano Concerto, Jim Byrnes sings about

and reflections on their art. Tonight you'll hear Daniel Lavoie,

of this year's 2008 Jazz en rafale Festival in Montreal, pianist and

instrumentist Paul McCandless and an all-star team of experienced
players. Canada Live, tonight at 8 p.m. (8:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
17. THE SIGNAL:
A "one-man-band" used to be an incredibly agile individual staggering
around playing a bass drum, cymbals and maybe a harmonica or a trumpet
and various other odds and ends at the same time. My, how the concept
has changed over the past few years! Laptops, samplers, loopers and
keyboards have made it possible for individual musicians to create
incredibly complex textures and rhythms and soundscapes in their
performances. You'll hear the musical and technical prowess of
several solo artists tonight on The Signal, including Laurie Anderson,
Squarepusher, Final Fantasy, and Martin T=E9treault. The Signal, with
Laurie Brown, tonight at 10 p.m. (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
