1. THE CURRENT:
China promised to allow peaceful protests during the Olympic Games.
But most applications for permission to demonstrate have been refused,
and some of the applicants are being punished. So CBC Re****ter David
Gutnick decided to see what would happen if he tried to get a permit
to protest. Hear what happened, this morning on The Current. And still
at the Games, American swimmer Michael Phelps' historic performance is
even more impressive when you realize that he has ADHD - Attention
Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Find out how athletes deal with ADHD
and why some people think it can actually help an athlete achieve
great things. That's on The Current, with guest host Susan Ormiston,
this morning at 8:30 (9:00 NT) on CBC Radio One.
2. BETWEEN YOU AND ME: ***Also heard Saturday afternoon at 4 (4:30 NT)
on CBC Radio One***
It's hard enough for parents to deal with the teen years. But parents
of children with brain injuries have an even tougher challenge - how
to teach their kids about ***uality. After all, they're feeling the
same powerful urges as kids without brain injuries, but these
youngsters may not have the same social filters. This week, Josey
Vogels hosts a special edition of Between You and Me from Canada's
largest children's rehab hospital. And she'll talk with parents who
are caught between respecting their children's needs and feelings, and
protecting them from a society that often denies or ignores their
***uality. Between You and Me, with Josey Vogels, this morning at
9:30 (10 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SOUNDS LIKE CANADA:
They say that Roughriders fans "bleed green." That's how fanatical -
and loyal - they are. Fortunately this year, most of the blood has
been shed by other teams. The CFL's Saskatchewan Roughriders are hot
this year - despite plenty of injuries. Why are they so good? And why
are Riders fans so devoted, so "never-say-die" about their beloved
team? This morning on Sounds Like Canada, host Steve Burgess talks
with Riders CEO Jim Hopson. That's Sounds Like Canada, this morning at
10 (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
4. MASHUP:
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, 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***
In all the hoopla surrounding the Olympics, most of the attention has
focused on the Gold medal winners - raising their arms in victory.
But what about the folks who finished Second? Toronto-based
photographer Sandy Nicholson has made a career of capturing the
runners-up - in every kind of competition from spelling bees to
pillow fights. He'll talk with Jian today on Q. Also, Montreal-based
punk rocker, musical engineer and now McGill Professor Daniel Levitin
explains "How the Musical Brain Created Human Nature" in his new book,
"The World in Six Songs." Q, with Jian Ghome****, this afternoon after
your local noon show on CBC Radio One.
6. TALKING BOOKS: ***Heard at 2:30 p.m. only in Winnipeg***Not heard
in all locations***
Ian Brown and his guests tackle "Mister Pip" by New Zealand author
Lloyd Jones this week on Talking Books. Set in Bougainville in the
South Pacific during the civil war in the early 1990s, the novel
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, this afternoon at 3:30 (4 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
7. THE IRRELEVANT SHOW: ***Also heard Saturday morning at 11 (11:30
NT) on CBC Radio One***
Remember the "Hokey-Pokey" - the kids' song with all the actions
attached?
Here's a new variation:
You put your left hand in, but is it really there?
You take your right hand, and completely clear your mind.
Experience the Zen Hokey-Pokey this week on The Irrelevant Show.
As well, witness the chaos that Queen Elizabeth the First creates when
she travels through time to visit a modern-day convenience store. And
the Antiques Road Show digs up a phone so ancient that it didn't take
pictures! The Irrelevant Show, this evening at 7:30 (8 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
8. OUTFRONT:
In 1967, Marie Beath Badian's mother came from the Philippines to work
as a nurse in a small town in Saskatchewan. Forty years later Marie
Beath takes her mother on a return trip to Prince Albert and
Arborfield, Saskatchewan to get a sense of her mother's beginnings in
Canada. In the process she gains a greater understanding of the
sacrifices her mother made to help those around her. Outfront, this
evening at 8:45 (9:15 NT) on CBC Radio One.
9. IDEAS:
The threats posed by climate change, the resource potential of the
Arctic, and new challenges to this country's sovereignty have re-
invigorated debate about the future of Canada's North. Tonight on
Ideas, in a talk recorded at St. Jerome's University in Waterloo, Ken
Coates discusses the contradictory influences at work in this
im****tant but little understood part of Canada. "Losing the Arctic?",
tonight on Ideas at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
10. WRITERS & CO:
Families and fiction - or is it memoir? Tonight on Writers & Company,
Eleanor Wachtel's 2002 conversation with English novelist Margaret
Drabble about her book "The Peppered Moth", and with her husband,
biographer Michael Holroyd, about his family history, "Basil Street
Blues". That's Writers & Company, tonight at 11 p.m. (11:30 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
11. REWIND:
For the past couple of weeks, Rewind has been featuring an Ideas
do***entary on the place of s****t in society. This week, it's a look
at professional s****ts, and especially the impact pro s****ts - and our
fascination with them - has on the way women see themselves. It seems
like a huge leap from the days when women were forbidden to compete in
s****ts to the day when a petite Canadian woman would win Olympic gold
in Wrestling. Women and s****ts=85on Rewind, tonight at midnight (12:30
NT) on CBC Radio One.
-- RADIO TWO --
12. HERE'S TO YOU:

the penultimate Organ Thursday. Here's to You, with host Catherine
Belyea, this morning at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
13. STUDIO SPARKS:
This is almost that bittersweet time of year when summer is still
around, but hints of autumn are in the air - chilly nights, cool
mornings, and all those Back-to-School ads. So it's the perfect time
for an all-Brahms edition of Studio Sparks. Because Brahms' music
often feels as if it's looking back on something beautiful that is now
just a memory. Three hours of sepia-toned Brahms, on Studio Sparks,
with Eric Friesen, today at noon (12:30 NT) on CBC Radio Two.
14. DISCDRIVE:
Today is the first day for PATAWAM (Pick A Tune And Win A Mug) - the

not!) - with selections sent in earlier this month by DiscDrive

the Rainbow, Pennies From Heaven, and that's just the start of the

with Katie Malloch, this evening at 6:00 p.m. (6:30 NT) on CBC Radio
Two.
