SATURDAY AUGUST 16, 2008
=2EOLYMPIC GAMES COVERAGE:
CBC's extensive coverage of the Olympic Games from Beijing continues
this weekend.
CBC Radio features Olympic Re****t, hosted by Matt Galloway, with Jill
Dempsey, Dwight Smith and Scott Regehr, seven minutes before the hour,

go to cbc.ca/olympics
1. THE HOUSE:
There's been plenty of talk over the past months about changes to
Canada's Immigration Act. And most of the attention has centred on
changes that will make it more difficult for people to get into
Canada. But some of the changes will make it easier, according to
Immigration Minister Diane Finley. She'll explain them to host
Kathleen Petty this Saturday on The House. Also, a look at the buyout
package the federal government is offering tobacco farmers in
Southwestern Ontario. It's a rescue of sorts, but what will it mean to
a region, its communities and a way of life? That's on The House,
Saturday after World Re****t at 9 a.m. (9:30 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
2. WHITE COAT, BLACK ART:
Canada is suffering from a severe shortage of physicians - both family
doctors and specialists. One way to ease the problem is to attract
physicians who've trained elsewhere. And there are plenty of trained
physicians eager to move to Canada. But Canada doesn't make it very
easy for them to practise here. This Saturday, White Coat, Black Art
takes a look at the hoops foreign-trained doctors have to jump through
to get a chance to work here. And you'll hear from a provincial
*****sor about just how they rate once they get in the door. White
Coat, Black Art, Saturday morning at 9:30 (10 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SIMPLY SEAN:
Special guest Jill Barber drops in on Simply Sean this week with her
guitar to sing a lazy, hazy ode to summer. She and Sean also chat
about life in Halifax, touring across the Pond, and finding
inspiration in public restrooms. Sean will also weigh in with a few
more precious tips for surviving the summer in Canada. That's Simply
Sean, Saturday at 10 a.m. (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
4. THE IRRELEVANT SHOW:
There's plenty of action and drama on the Irrelevant Show this week.
Someone has stolen all the gold medals from the Olympics. Can a hard-
bitten cop and his rookie partner find the culprits? Also, meet the
world's nicest death metal band - Grave Kandy. An exclusive interview
and performance. And.. a man who not only missed his wakeup call, but
slept through the greatest moment in the history of the world. The
Irrelevant Show, Saturday morning at 11 (11:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
5. O'REILLY AND THE AGE OF PERSUASION:
Believe it or not, there was once a time when s****ts and marketing
slept in separate beds. Enter C.C. "Cash & Carry" Pyle, the first
modern s****ts agent. This week on The Age of Persuasion, Terry
O'Reilly explains how Pyle changed s****ts forever, and why marketers
so eagerly assume the expense - and the risk - of putting their
product in the hands of a star athlete. Then, he'll give you a peak
at the marketing playbook, and show you what distinguishes a 'star'
from a 'superstar'. Terry O'Reilly and The Age of Persuasion, Saturday
morning at 11:30 (noon NT) on CBC Radio One.
6. QUIRKS AND QUARKS: ***Also heard Mondays at 11 p.m. (11:30 NT) on
CBC Radio One***
The Antarctic summer of 2002 was a turning point in our understanding
of climate in the far south. It was a year of warm temperatures, high
winds and lots of rain. Meredith Hooper was there to chronicle the
activities of a group of scientists studying the Adelie penguins. What
she saw was shocking. Thousands of penguins were missing, and those
that survived were having trouble raising their chicks. Meredith
Hooper's new book, "The Ferocious Summer", looks at the plight of the
penguins and how climate change is coming to the South Pole. Hear her
on Quirks and Quarks, with host Bob McDonald, Saturday afternoon after
the noon news (12:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
7. DEFINITELY NOT THE OPERA:
Meet meat. Yes, meat - it's back in the zeitgeist in a big way. So in
spite of health issues, environmental concerns and ethical conundrums,
why are we embracing meat again? This week on DNTO, Sook-Yin talks
with the editors of Meatpaper, a magazine that explores meat and
popular culture; and with Scott Gold, author of "The Shameless
Carnivore: A Manifesto for Meat Lovers." DNTO contributor Adam Growe
ponders why boys love barbeques, and DNTO comedian-in-residence Dawn
Dumont explains why she was a vegetarian... and isn't any more. That's
on Definitely Not the Opera, Saturday after the one p.m. news (1:30
NT) on CBC Radio One.
8. FUSE:
The Skydiggers are a Canadian classic, still crisscrossing the country
after twenty years with their soulful, folky songs. Kyrie Kristmanson
hasn't even been alive for twenty years. But her jazzy, quirky brand
of pop is sure to launch a long music career. The Skydiggers and Kyrie
harmonize on Fuse with Amanda Putz, Saturday at 3 p.m. (3:30 NT) on
CBC Radio One.
9. BETWEEN YOU AND ME: \
Throughout history, people have been drawn to *****c images. Images

and Me with Josey Vogels, Saturday afternoon at 4 (4:30 NT) on CBC

follows the friend****p between Mr. Watts, the only white man who stays
behind when the soldiers invade the island, a little girl called
Matilda, and Pip the hero of Dickens' "Great Expectations", the
battered novel that Mr. Watts uses in all the lessons he teaches the
island children. It's an unusual story about what a child's
imagination can do even in the face of terrible violence. "Mister Pip"
by Lloyd Jones, on Talking Books, with Ian Brown, Saturday afternoon
at 4:30 (5 NT) on CBC Radio One.
11. THE WORLD THIS WEEKEND: ***Pls adjust intro if necessary to
reflect later developments***
Week One of the Olympics has been dominated by some excellent
performances by Chinese and American athletes, and record-setting

medal a few times, but so far=85not so good. Things are quite going as
planned.
Saturday on The World This Weekend.....Canada's Olympics, so far.

13. RANDY BACHMAN'S VINYL TAP: ***also heard Fridays at 11 p.m. (11:30
NT) on CBC Radio One***
Randy Bachman has spent the past couple of weeks focusing on a couple
of classic rock guitars - the Fender Telecaster and the Fender
Stratocaster. Randy's staying with guitars this week, but he's moving
from Fender to Gibson. The Gibson company is credited with having
developed the first commercially successful electric guitar back in
1936. But their most famous achievement is the Gibson Les Paul.
Ironically, Paul himself had very little input into the guitar's
design. But it's won a place in the hearts of guitarists, including
Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and many more. Find out more,
on Randy Bachman's Vinyl Tap, Saturday evening at 7 p.m. (8 AT, 8:30
NT) on CBC Radio One.
14. UNDER THE COVERS:
Nothing can cement a relation****p like performing a musical duet
together - from Johnny and June Cash to Miss Piggy and Kermit the
Frog. But what happens when musicians duet on a cover song? Well, it
can sure change the way a singer is perceived - just ask David Bowie,
after he duetted with Bing Crosby on Little Drummer Boy. Hosts Danny
Michel and Emm Gryner play some of their favourite cover song duets,
and talk to Jann Arden about why she was terrified to duet with music
legend Anne Murray. They'll also reveal why John K Sampson of the
Weakerthans really, REALLY didn't want to duet with Sarah Harmer on
"Islands in the Stream". Under the Covers, with Emm Gryner and Danny
Michel, Saturday at 9 p.m. (6 p.m. AT, 6:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
15. SATURDAY NIGHT BLUES:
For more than thirty years, David Wilcox has been writing and playing
blues music in Canada. The guitar wizard got his start playing in Ian
& Sylvia's classic band Great Speckled Bird, backing everyone from
Anne Murray to Carl Perkins. This week on Saturday Night Blues, Holger
takes time for an in-depth interview with the multi-award-winner, one
of the most enduring performers on Canada's blues scene. In Hour Two,
it's a concert featuring David "Honeyboy" Edwards. Born in 1915 in
Shaw, Mississippi, he has performed with almost every blues legend
imaginable. Honeyboy has written several blues hits, including "Long
Tall Woman Blues", "Sweet Home Chicago" and "Just Like Jesse James"
and you can hear him in concert on Saturday Night Blues, with Holger
Peterson, starting at 10 (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.

before long? That's this week at the Vinyl Cafe, Saturday morning at
10:00 (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.

genre! This week on Deep Roots, Tom Power plays tunes by Widow Maker,
the hot Calgary band that's won that distinction. Also, another
Wainwright - step-sister to Rufus and Martha. Lucy Wainwright-Roche

confessing her innermost fears - on DVD, no less? Find out, this week
on In Tune, with Katherine Duncan. You'll also learn why a new "bare-
bones" version of Elgar is raising a storm more than it's raising the
