1. THE CURRENT:
Jamaican sprinters have been cleaning up at the Olympic games for
years. The difference in Beijing is that they're wearing their home
country's colours. This morning, The Current looks at the success of a
relatively poor country that is no longer watching its best athletes
leave to compete for other countries. Also, 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 guest host Susan Ormiston, this morning at
8:30 (9:00 NT) on CBC Radio One.
2. DIET FOR A HUNGRY PLANET:
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 week 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 morning at
9:30 (10 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
It's just like the makeovers in popular magazines - but instead of
revamping your hairstyle or your dining room, Sounds Like Canada is
revamping a business. This morning, as part of an ongoing series, SLC
matches a Windsor, Ontario restaurateur with a business consultant.
And it's all about helping the restaurateur realize his dream of
showing North Americans that there's more to Mediterranean food than
just shawarma.
Hear how it all works out, on Sounds Like Canada, with host Steve
Burgess, this morning at 10 (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
4. CROSSING BOUNDARIES:
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-Americans 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 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***
Any anthology - musical, literary or other - is bound to spark debate
about what was included and what was not. But author Jane Urquhart may
not have been prepared for the ferocity of the response when she
edited "The Penguin Book of Canadian Short Stories". Today on Q,
author and critic Adrian Michael Kelly takes a look at the book and
the controversy. Q, with Jian Ghome****, 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 Inside Track's second Olympic Show this week! You'll hear
from kayaker Adam van Koeverden on how he's planning to defend his
Olympic title from 2004. Rhythmic gymnast Alex Orlando explains the
ins and outs, plus the hoops and ribbons, of her s****t, and you'll
hear highlights from the first week on the Games. As well, a look at
how red tape may keep foreign-trained coaches from passing on their
expertise to young Canadian athletes, and how only her age is keeping
a young Canadian gymnast from competing in Beijing. 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:
Teenagers growing up in Canada today 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. Host and mother
Judith Mackin will also describe her desire to pass along to her
descendants the spirit if not the letter of the values she learned
from her devout Christian parents. That's on Alien Nation, this
evening at 7:30 (8 NT) on CBC Radio One.
8. OUTFRONT:
Sunsets and sundowners, rest and recuperation. Seana O'Neill started
"Cottage Dreams" to give cancer survivors a much-needed break because
cancer has taken its toll on her family, too. Hear Seana's story in
"Cottage Dreams", on Outfront, this evening at 8:45 (9:15 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
9. IDEAS:
First seen as a medical oddity, autism has a fascinating and troubling
story. Tonight on Ideas, Bernice Landry takes you from the heyday of
psychoanalysis to the blame-the-mother era, the rise of the activist
parent and the decoding of the dark secrets of human genes. For Rain
Man it was numbers; for Darius McCollum, it was the New York City
subway. Meet the man whose compulsion to steal trains had cost him
years in jail long before he ever heard about autism. That's Part One
of "The Dark End of the Spectrum", tonight on Ideas at 9 (9:30 NT) on
CBC Radio One. (CONCLUDES NEXT WEDNESDAY)
10. WORLD OF MYSTERY: ***Also heard Friday at 11:30 a.m. (noon NT) on
CBC Radio One***
Canadian mystery author Gail Bowen has created a memorable character
in Charlie D: he's brilliant, disfigured, reclusive in some ways - so
it's a bit surprising that he's a very successful radio host. Tonight
on World of Mystery, Charlie D and his faithful producer Nova have to
figure out whether one of his devoted, demented fans is also a killer.
Part One of "The World According to Charlie D: Long Time Listener/
First Time Caller" by Gail Bowen, on World of Mystery, tonight at 11
(11:30 NT) on CBC Radio One. (CONCLUDES NEXT WEEK)

root of his misfortune. Howard winds up at the doctor's office with an
unlucky tummy ache; and Gregor tests his luck - along with Jonathan's

CBC Radio One.

desperation has turned into a green industry that's been successful
beyond all expectation. Tonight, And the Winner Is=85presents Rhoda
Metcalfe's award-winning do***entary on The Garbage People of Cairo.
And the Winner Is=85tonight at midnight (12:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.

you'll hear the Flower Duet from Lakme for one listener in BC and
another in Alberta, the 1812 Overture for a woman in Brighton,
Ontario, plus Miles Davis playing the Concierto de Aranjuez, and
Abbott and Costello's classic "Who's on First?". Here's to You, with

14. STUDIO SPARKS:
Studio Sparks spotlights great music from the last century today,

Hovhaness, called "Celestial Gate." That's on Studio Sparks, with Eric
Friesen, today at noon (12:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.

Festival, tonight on Canada Live. Also on the program, another heart-
stopping concert from the Festival, featuring British soul star (and
former Van Morrison sideman James Hunter. And the evening ends with a
