-- RADIO ONE --
1. THE CURRENT:
The Back-to-School ads are starting, the summer's starting to wind
down, and Canada's federal politicians are tearing themselves away
from the Barbecue circuit and trying to figure out where they're up
for the fall election that may be in the works. This morning on The
Current, find out how the party leaders have spent their summer
vacations and look ahead to the new political season. Also on the
program, a do***entary from last March about an orthodox Jewish woman
from Montreal who spent fifteen years trying to get a Get - a
religious ruling allowing her to remarry within her faith - and set a
landmark legal precedent in the process. That's on The Current, with
Anna Maria Tremonti, 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***
Today's Canadian teenagers are growing up in the most secular,
consumer-oriented society ever. So what does spirituality mean to
them? Is it just something odd that older people care about? This week
on Alien Nation, teens talk about their search for meaning. Some have
strong relation****ps with their respective faiths. Others don't know,
don't care and don't want any part of organized religion. You'll meet
a young woman who very much defines herself in terms of a religious
upbringing that sustains her body and soul. And you'll hear about
host Judith Mackin's wish to pass on the values, if not necessarily
the theology, of her devout Christian parents. That's on Alien Nation,
this morning at 9:30 (10 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
Nervous airlines passengers may be tough to convince, but you're
actually much safer in a big jetliner than you are in a smaller
chartered plane, cor****ate jet or helicopter. And in 97 per cent of
those cases, crashes are caused by pilot error. Suzanne Kearns is a
commercial pilot, and teaches in the Aviation Management program at
University of Western Ontario. Today on Sounds Like Canada, she'll
tell Steve Burgess about the online flight-training program designed
to make the skies safer for private pilots. That's today on Sounds
Like Canada. That's Sounds Like Canada, this morning at 10 (10:30 NT)
on CBC Radio One.
4. WHITE COAT, BLACK ART:
This year nearly 160,000 Canadians will find out that they have
cancer. Then they will begin a bewildering maze of tests,
appointments, and treatment choices spoken in words most of us can't
understand. That's where a patient navigator comes in - someone to
guide the patient through the system, and Joanne ***minger from Nova
Scotia is one of the best. 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***
Ever seen a cover band, or an ad for one, and wondered what that life
was like - weeks and months on the road, trying your hardest to be
exactly like someone else? Steven Kurutz spent a year on the road with
two of the biggest Rolling Stones tribute bands. He's written a book
about what observed and experienced, and he'll tell Jian all about it
today on Q. Also, a look at the Harvard Med School program that has
students study art in order to become better doctors. Q, with Jian
Ghome****, 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***
The Choice is a program on CBC Radio One that lets you hear
outstanding past programs again or for the first time. It also gives
producers a chance to talk about their productions. Tonight, Karin
Wells presents her do***entary "Lillian Just Smiles." It's the story
of a child soldier, finally returned home to her family in Sierra
Leone. That's on The Choice, this afternoon at 3:30 (4 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
7. DIET FOR A HUNGRY PLANET: ***Also heard Wednesday morning at 9:30
(10 NT)***
Diabetes affects nearly 250 million people around the world. And
India's population accounts for one sixth of the total... topping the
ranks. And as the country modernizes, its traditional diet is
increasingly Westernized. And that, in turn, makes the problem of
preventing and treating diabetes much harder. This evening on Diet For
a Hungry Planet, Alison Broddle's do***entary "Sweet Poison" follows
the story of a young Indian girl with diabetes, and a doctor
struggling to help his diabetic patients. Diet For a Hungry Planet,
this evening at 7:30 (8 NT) on CBC Radio One.
8. THE DNA FILES:
Scientists from the disciplines of biology, geology, and chemistry are
collaborating on projects aimed at unraveling some really big
questions: Where and how did life begin on Earth? Where else might
life be found in the universe? They've dubbed this field
"astrobiology". Genetic science is one of the main tools in the search
for answers. This week on the DNA Files, host John Hockenberry
explores scientific research on the origins of life and where else in
the universe life might be found. The DNA Files, tonight at 8 (8:30
NT) on CBC Radio One.
9. IDEAS:
Why do people dodge responsibility when things fall apart? Why can't
political figures own up to their blunders? What's behind so many
domestic fights? Distinguished social psychologist Elliot Aronson
explores the power of cognitive dissonance. "Mistakes Were Made - By
Others!", tonight on Ideas, tonight at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
10. QUIRKS & QUARKS:
You might think you're pretty smart, but how can you be sure? After
all, the concept of intelligence has intrigued and puzzled researchers
for much of the past century. Just what it is and how to measure it
are still among the most contentious topics in science. How do you
compare poetic genius with mathematical genius? Why are there such
huge gaps in IQ scores between different groups? Why do we seem to be
smarter than our parents and grandparents? This week on Quirks &
Quarks, intelligent ideas about what it means to be intelligent.
Quirks and Quarks, with host Bob McDonald, tonight at 11 (11:30 NT) on
CBC Radio One.

11. HERE'S TO YOU:
Several years ago, a newscast on CBC Radio ended a little too early.
And the newscaster, a woman who was never at a loss for words, said
"Now, by popular demand, our theme in its entirety. " And that's how
they filled the remaining time. But today on Here's to You, Catherine
really WILL be responding to popular demand - your requests to hear
themes from CBC Radio programs, past and present - everything from
Music for a While to DiscDrive to Off the Record. As well, you'll hear
music to honour Maestro Mario Bernardi's birthday and Indonesian
Independence Day. All that and more on Here's to You, with host
Catherine Belyea, this morning at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
12. STUDIO SPARKS:
(no advance info available)
13. DISCDRIVE:
Tune in to DiscDrive today for summer sounds - Ranee Lee with "The
Summer Knows", Debussy's "The Girl with the Golden Hair", Chris Norman
with Two Valse Clogs from Quebec and Sibelius' gorgeous Swan of
Tuonela. That's on DiscDrive, with host Jurgen Gothe, this afternoon
at 3 (3:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
14. TONIC:
It's crying time again this evening, as Tonic brings you some classic
"hurtin'" songs. Aaron Neville and Trisha Yearwood perform a duet of
"I Fall to Pieces," and then Deborah Cox covers Dinah Wa****ngton's
classic song "Misery." You'll also hear some amazing out-takes from
the soundtrack of the fabulous jazz film "Round Midnight", featuring
Dexter Gordon, Herbie Hancock, Bobby Hutcherson and John McLaughlin.
That's on Tonic, with Katie Malloch, this evening at 6:00 p.m. (6:30
NT) on CBC Radio Two.
15. CANADA LIVE:
Singer/songwriter Anne Schaefer won critical and popular acclaim for
her debut CD Twelve Easy Pieces, a few years ago. Now she's released
her second project, "The Waiting Room". Hear her showcase it in front
of a very receptive Victoria crowd tonight on Canada Live. Then it's

Alcorn, Christa Couture and Ian Sherwood share the stage in a raucous
evening of original music and high spirits. Canada Live, tonight at 8
p.m. (8:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
16. THE SIGNAL:
***Pls note: it really is "Newfound" in this case rather than
"Newfoundland"***

Music Festival, including Rob Power's evocative work for marimbas and
vibraphone, called "Untouchable". That's tonight, on The Signal with
Laurie Brown, tonight at 10 p.m. (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
