1. THE CURRENT:
In China, only state-sponsored places of wor****p are allowed. So many
Chinese Christians have responded by gathering together to wor****p in
secret, even though they risk being thrown in jail every time they do.
This morning on The Current, join CBC Re****ter David Gutnick on a tour
of Beijing's so-called "house churches." And still on the subject of
religion=85are American evangelicals having an existential crisis? In
2004, nearly 80 per cent of evangelical voters backed George Bush. But
now some of them are flirting with Barack Obama, and even organizing
to back him outright. Find out more on The Current, with guest host
Erica Johnson, this morning at 8:30 (9 NT) on CBC Radio One.
2. GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES:
Hong Kong. For many, the city with the iconic skyline is a land of
op****tunity - but this densely populated place appeals not only to
foreign humans but to certain non-native animals as well. Whether
they've been introduced, secretly released, escaped or abandoned,
they've found their own niche and been accepted as part of Hong Kong's
landscape. This week on Global Perspectives, a do***entary from Radio
Television Hong Kong looks at how creatures from birds to bovines and
reptiles to rhesus monkeys have become unlikely - but permanent -
residents. That's on Global Perspectives, this morning at 9:30 (10 NT)
on CBC Radio One.
3. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
The propane explosion in Toronto last weekend was frightening enough
to watch - a giant orange fireball in the sky - but most people were
startled by the sound - one huge explosion followed by a series of
smaller but still very loud explosions. Imagine what it would have
been like to hear those terrifying sounds without being able to see
what was happening. J.P. Pampena is legally blind, and has a daughter
who also has disabilities. He lives near the propane facility - and
during the explosion, the nurse who was supposed to care for his
daughter panicked and fled the scene, leaving his family stranded.
Hear his harrowing story today on Sounds Like Canada, with host Steve
Burgess, this morning at 10 (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
4. WORLD OF MYSTERY:
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,
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***
The Sixties - ***, drugs, civil rights and freeing your mind, right?
Well, not according to Gerard de Groot. The author of "The Sixties:
Unplugged" argues that the decade produced few cultural and social
achievements: it's just been blown out of pro****tion by the Boomer
generation. It's a provocative thesis. Jian Ghome**** talks with Gerard
DeGroot today on Q. But you'll probably hear a very different take on
the Sixties from Jian's other guest - Canadian actor, comedian and
marijuana activist Tommy Chong. He's written a memoir of the Cheech
and Chong years and he'll be there to talk about he remembers it. Q,
this afternoon after your local noon show on CBC Radio One.
6. C'EST LA VIE IN THE SUMMER: ***Heard at 2:30 p.m. only in
Winnipeg***Not heard in all locations***

world for his story about a French Canadian family. B=E9chard's first

this week on C'est la vie in the Summer, with Bernard St. Laurent,
this afternoon at 3:30 (4 NT) on CBC Radio One.
7. REVISION QUEST:
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 evening at 7:30 (8 NT) on CBC Radio One.
8. OUTFRONT:
Lindsay Michael has been working towards a career as an opera singer
for ten years. She has two music degrees and has performed in recitals
and operas. But she has a secret: she can barely read music. Follow
Lindsay as she attempts to work around her learning disability,
dyslexia. Outfront, this evening at 8:45 (9:15 NT) on CBC Radio One.
9. IDEAS:
In 1967, a teenager sets out from Fredericton to make his name in the
music scene. Forty years later, his bones are finally identified.
Tonight on Ideas, "In Your Ear", a continuing series of new Canadian
do***entaries, tells the story of "The Boy Who Never Returned". That's
tonight on Ideas at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
10. RANDY BACHMAN'S VINYL TAP:
Elvis may be The King, but The King of rock and roll guitars has to be
the Fender Stratocaster. And it's Randy's focus this week on Vinyl
Tap. The Strat has been dominating the music world for more than fifty
years. Everyone from Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits to Jimi Hendrix to
George Harrison has played them. One of Canada's finest Strat players
was the late Jeff Healey. Hear the legend and the music of the Fender
Stratocaster this week on Randy Bachman's Vinyl Tap, tonight at 11
(11:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.

Brandenburg Concerto N3, Marcello's Oboe Concerto in C minor, Spring
or Winter from Vivaldi's 4 Seasons or Handel's Water Music Suite in
F? Mayumi Seiler is the violin soloist for the Vivaldi concertos and

spotlight tonight on Canada Live, in the first of two concerts
recorded at that city's Grandview Park. In the second concert, Eneida
Marta sings songs of everyday life in her native Guinea Bissau, songs
that celebrate the strength of that country's women along with their

Canadian cities when it comes to sup****ting cultural endeavours, so
there! Pat will play some hot tracks from The Weakerthans, and then

iconic Guy Maddin. He'll celebrate the classical legacy of Glenn Buhr
