1. THE CURRENT:
Last week, two Canadian women were among four aid workers killed by
the Taliban in Afghanistan. Days later, the Taliban issued an open
letter directly threatening Canada and demanding Canadian soldiers
leave Afghanistan. This morning on The Current, a look at how all of
this is affecting an already difficult job - delivering aid in
Afghanistan. Also,
The unquenchable human wish for a Magic Bullet - in this case, a pill
that could deliver all the benefits of exercise without any effort on
your part beyond swallowing. That's on The Current, with guest host
Susan Ormiston, 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) on CBC
Radio One***
Fighting to keep a language - a dying language - may seem like a
hopeless cause to most people. But for Florence Carpenter, it was a
lifelong crusade. For more than twenty years in the Northwest
Territories, she spoke to only a handful of Gwich'in-speaking people -
her people - through her radio program, helping to keep the Gwich'in
language alive for future generations. Hear her story this week on The
Late Show, this morning at 9:30 (10 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
A while ago, the CBC Radio series White Coat, Black Art did a couple
of shows about medical mistakes. And the consensus among health
professionals, including doctors and nurses, was that it was better to
admit mistakes up front. Now several hospitals in Winnipeg are doing
just that. They're even willing to compensate patients who have
suffered because of the mistake -- a first for Canada, where these
things are usually left up to the courts. Today on Sounds Like Canada,
host Steve Burgess talks with Donna Davis, a mother who wanted answers
after losing her son in a Regina hospital. That's on 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***
Canadians are learning Aboriginal words all the time - words like
Canada, Winnipeg, Toronto, and Trickster. This week on Revision Quest,
host Darrell Dennis talks with language experts - including Grover
from Sesame Street, and even travels through time to find out whether
Aboriginal languages have any application in the modern world. Along
the way, he discovers interesting uses for the languages of First
Nations Peoples. And he learns some useful new phrases, including what
to say when you run into trouble with the law! 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***
They've toured with Interpol and opened for Paul McCartney. Montreal's
The Stills bring an artistic flair to their indie rock. They're
launching their third CD, "Oceans Will Rise", tonight at Toronto's
Horseshoe Tavern. And they'll drop by Studio Q this afternoon to
preview it with Jian. Q, with Jian Ghome****, this afternoon after your
local noon show on CBC Radio One.
6. CROSSING BOUNDARIES: ***Heard at 2:30 p.m. only in Winnipeg***Not
heard in all locations***Also heard Wednesday morning at 11:30 (noon
NT) on CBC Radio One***
If you had to pick one writer in the English language who's had more
impact than any other, chances are you'd pick William Shakespeare. His
plays have been seen by millions of people around the world, and
countless phrases from them have become standard in the language. But
with almost no exceptions, the characters in Shakespeare's works are
perceived as white. So where does that leave African-American people
who love the Bard and want to delve more deeply into his plays? This
week on Crossing Boundaries, an intriguing do***entary from SoundPrint
in the U-S called "The Color of Shakespeare". Narrated by Sam
Waterston of "Law and Order", it looks at everything from minstrel-
show parodies of Shakespeare to colour-blind casting of his plays.
"The Color of Shakespeare", 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***
If your parents come from two different cultures - neither of which
happens to be the one in which you're living - or if you're adopted
from a different country by Canadian parents, you become the
embodiment of the "Mashup". And this week on the program Mashup, host
Geeta Nadkarni chats with several people who fit that description. So
how do they view themselves? Do they reject the labels other people
try to apply to them? You'll meet two people from very different
Mashups who met on a FaceBook site called "Ethnically Ambiguous". And
you'll meet a woman adopted from Korea by French Canadians in
Chicoutimi who's heading back to Korea to visit the culture of her
birth. That's on Mashup, with Geeta Nadkarni, tonight at 7:30 (8 NT)
on CBC Radio One.
8. OUTFRONT:
****rley Camia is obsessed with money. Not making it. In fact, she
earns quite a lot. ****rley's problem is that she can't save any of it.

entire lives. Even so, they've never had any trouble paying the bills
and socking money away in the bank. ****rley decides it's time to get
some financial advice from Mom and Dad. Share that lesson on Outfront,
this evening at 8:45 (9:15 NT) on CBC Radio One.
9. IDEAS:
The modern world seems bent on its own destruction. A theological
movement called "Radical Orthodoxy" believes it has uncovered the
roots of the modern mistake. Tonight on Ideas, producer David Cayley

and Catherine Pickstock. "On Radical Orthodoxy", tonight on Ideas at 9

machine=85so he gets a part-time job delivering papers to help pay for
it. Why do you get the feeling that something will go "Tilt" before
long? That's this week at the Vinyl Cafe, tonight at 11 p.m. (11:30
NT) on CBC Radio One.
11. THE CHOICE:
Ah=85"To sleep, perchance to dream...", but why, exactly, DO we dream
while we sleep? And why do we spend a third of our lives cut off from
the world, lying in a state of slumber? Tonight on The Choice, a
listener request for Part One of "While You Were Out". Jeff Warren's
Ideas do***entary examines the world of sleep and dreams, and what
they reveal about who we are. "While You Were Out", a do***entary
about sleeping and dreaming, on The Choice, tonight at midnight (12:30
NT) on CBC Radio One.

12. HERE'S TO YOU:
This is the perfect time of year for a long, lazy picnic by a river,
with swans cruising gently past. Which is why Here's to You is playing
music perfect for a long, lazy picnic this morning. Catherine will
have the Simon Bolivar Orchestra of Venezuela playing Arturo Marques'
Danzon Number 2 today on Here's to You, plus a couple of works by

host Jurgen Gothe, this afternoon at 3 (3:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
15. TONIC:
Aside from being a way to cook eggs and a general state of confusion,
"Scrambled" is also an infectious jazz tune performed by the trio of
pianist Oliver Jones tonight on Tonic. And if you have neighbours who
keep turning up at the back door at dinnertime with expectant grins on
their faces, you'll identify with the tune "Newsy Neighbours" from the
Seventies girl band First Choice. And just try not to dance when
percussionist Poncho Sanchez and his band play "Cinderella," - bet you
can't do it. That's on Tonic, with Katie Malloch, this evening at
6:00 p.m. (6:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
