1. THE CURRENT:
Softball is making its swan song as an Olympic s****t right now. And
there are quite a few s****ts and - um, activities - lining up to take
its place. So how about video gaming? This morning, The Current
ponders the possibility. Also=85now that the U-S Justice Department's
chief suspect in the 2001 anthrax mailings is dead, have any lessons
been learned about tighter security at biological research facilities?
Is a similar attack more or less likely than it was seven years ago?
That's on The Current, with guest hose Erica Johnson, this morning at
8:30 (9:00 NT) on CBC Radio One.
2. 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 morning at 9:30 (10 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
Poet Ogden Nash once wrote: I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Perhaps, unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all.
And that's just ONE of the things Rami Tabello hates about billboards.
He's the founder of a group called "illegal signs-dot-c-a", dedicated
to blowing the whistle on billboards that break the rules in any way.
But there are also a few defenders out there for billboards in our
cities. Today on Sounds Like Canada, host Steve Burgess talks with
Rami Tabello and with a renowned Vancouver photographer who finds
inspiration in them. That's on Sounds Like Canada, this morning at 10
(10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
4. CROSSING BOUNDARIES:
"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 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***
Danny Michel is currently co-hosting with Emm Gryner on Under the
Covers, CBC Radio One's summer show about cover tunes and the people
who record them. But Danny's best known as a singer/songwriter, a
creator of original tunes and great arrangements. And that's why he's
going to join guest host Amanda Putz today on Q, to talk about his
latest CD. Q, this afternoon after your local noon show on CBC Radio
One.
6. INSIDE TRACK: ***Heard at 2:30 p.m. only in Winnipeg***Not heard in
all locations***
It's the first Olympic edition of The Inside Track this week! You'll
hear a profile of sprinter Tyler Christopher: he approaches the 400
metres like a business and has taken many risks in order to succeed.
Swimmer Brian Johns takes you stroke by stroke though one of his
s****t's more unusual events - the individual medley. And you'll get a
serving of 'special K' - that's gymnast Kyle Shewfelt. Shewfelt broke
both legs last year, but incredibly he's back and ready to compete.
That's this week on The Inside Track, with Robin Brown, this afternoon
at 3:30 (4 NT) on CBC Radio One.
7. ALIEN NATION:
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 evening at 7:30 (8 NT) on CBC Radio One.
8. OUTFRONT:
Nicole Huck doesn't live in small-town Saskatchewan any more. But her
home town is still close to her heart. When Nicole heard that the
local school in Glenavon was closing, she just had to return to see it
one more time. Hear Nicole's story 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, the
conclusion of "The Hydrogen Solution". Paul Kennedy hosts a debate -
between David Sanborn Scott, an advocate for an energy system based on
hydrogen, and Norm Rubin of Energy Probe, who says hydrogen is not the
solution. The conclusion of "The Hydrogen Solution", tonight on Ideas
at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
10. WORLD OF MYSTERY: ***Also heard Friday at 11:30 a.m. (noon NT) on
CBC Radio One***
There's a mysterious hermit in Flat 12, a neuroscientist looking for
love in Flat 3, a Japanese bassoonist in Flat 8, the inevitable
seductive blonde in Flat 5 - and the obligatory corpse in Flat 6. It's
your standard London apartment building - at least if it's set in The
World of Mystery. Tune in tonight for the conclusion of "The Black Cat
Murder Mystery" a comedy of crime by Marcie Kahan, from the BBC World
Service. And meet a very unusual detective. That's World of Mystery,
tonight at 11 (11:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
11. WIRETAP:
Catch Jonathan Goldstein performing in front of a live audience in
Halifax this week on WireTap. Plus an original story from Heather
O'Neill. She was the author of the 2007 Canada Reads winner,
"Lullabies for Little Criminals". That's WireTap, with Jonathan
Goldstein, tonight at 11:30 (midnight NT) on CBC Radio One.
12. AND THE WINNER IS=85:
Sampling and the internet have both had a dramatic influence on how
people interact with the music they love and on the new music they
hear. Today, it's sometimes easier to get a hold of your favourite
track than it is to get a cup of coffee. And sounds are sampled and
mixed and matched, ripped, burned, shared and traded on a scale that
eclipses even the wildest dreams from a decade ago. Is that good - -
or bad? Tonight, And the Winner Is=85 wraps up the presentation of The
Wire, the history of the impact of electricity on music, with a look
at the future of music - from file-sharing to sampling. Visit the
Digital Democracy of Sound, in Episode Eight of The Wire, on And the
Winner Is=85, tonight at midnight (12:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.

13. HERE'S TO YOU:
Hear Songs from the Auvergne today on Here's to You, thanks to a

Jean Coulthard for an artist in Gibsons, B.C. That's on Here's to You,
with guest host Andre Alexis, this morning at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio
Two.

Katie has great jazz from trumpeter Chase Sanborn, saxophonist Stanley
Turrentine and pianist Sharon Minemoto this evening on Tonic. You'll

(6:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
16. CANADA LIVE:
When The Vinyl Cafe rolled into Winnipeg a while back, host Stuart
McLean was looking for a band to join him on stage -- a band that
would capture the spirit of the city. The Weakerthans definitely fit
the bill. As an added bonus, the group was joined by singer-
songwriter Christine Fellows, and together they delivered a great set
of songs to the hometown crowd that filled the Centennial Concert
Hall. Hear that performance tonight on Canada Live. Also on the show,
a tribute to legendary Metis fiddler Walter Flett by three rising
Metis stars - Ryan Daoust, Matthew Contois and Alyssa Delbaere-
Sawchuk, who worked with Walter's son James. And Cara Luft, a founder
and former member of the Wailin' Jennys, showcases her second solo CD

Radio Two.
17. THE SIGNAL:
Pianist Eve Egoyan plays selections from "Inner Cities", Alvin
Curran's epic work for solo piano, tonight on The Signal. You'll hear

"autobiographical fragments like a drawer full of fossilized
imprints". That's on The Signal, with Laurie Brown, tonight at 10 p.m.
(10:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
