SATURDAY JULY 29, 2006
1. THE HOUSE:
Should Canadians have the same services, no matter where they live?
Some provinces say they can't afford to provide as much as oil-rich
Alberta. And they want resource revenues shared with the rest of the
country so that everyone can enjoy the benefits. But many Albertans say
they'll fight to protect what they regard as their natural heritage.
This week, The House tries to sort out the squabble. That's The House,
with guest host David McKie, Saturday after World Report at 9 a.m.
(9:30 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
2. TEN TIMES TABLE:
This week on "Ten Times Table" Bill Richardson invites Milton Babbitt

Table, Saturday morning at 9:30 (10 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. SIMPLY SEAN:
Seán gets outside for a sweeping conversation with a disco-loving,
canoeing man from Saskatoon this week on Simply Seán. He'll also have

more. That's Simply Sean, Saturday at 10 a.m. (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio
One.
4. AND SOMETIMES Y:
This week, Russell Smith explores what happens when poets go to the
edge of language. And whether meaning can be found in nonsense. Join
Russell and his guest poets Christian Bok and Darren Wershler-Henry.
That's And Sometimes Y, Saturday morning at 11 (11:30 NT) on CBC Radio
One.
5. CBC FESTIVAL OF FUNNY:
This week on the Festival of Funny, highlights from the gala comedy
show "My Hometown International", recorded at the 2006 Winnipeg Comedy

Arnold Brown. The CBC Festival of Funny, Saturday morning at 11:30
(noon NT) on CBC Radio One.
6. QUIRKS AND QUARKS:
Exorcising Exercise Myths, this week on Quirks and Quarks. As the
February blahs set in, your motivation to get going on that New Year's
fitness program may be at an all-time low. Well, this week, Quirks
will try to work out just what you're getting - and maybe not getting -
from your fitness regimen. They'll tackle the myths around stretching,
look at why exercise might not be making you more fit (but is still
good for you anyway), and why high performance and good health aren't
necessarily the same thing. Also, why some primate males get fat when
their mates get pregnant. That's 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:

out why this week on Lost & Found. Also, a young lacrosse goalie talks
about the significance of people who use wooden sticks in his sport.
Plus a look at old home remedies for fighting the croup - from
turpentine to salt herring. Lost and Found, with host Matt Rainnie,
Saturday afternoon at 3 (3:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
9. SOCKET:
It's interesting --but it is art? This week on Socket, Angela Antle
takes you to meet some artists who are pushing back the boundaries. Jon
Sasaki says a plain old guest book is. Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan
mix perfume to make a political statement. Jillian McDonald inserts
images of herself into Billy Bob Thornton movies anytime he's about to
plant a kiss. And Women With Kitchen Appliances make wild noise using
Mixmasters and wooden spoons. It's all fun. But is it art? Tune in and
decide for yourself, this week on Socket, Saturday afternoon at 4 (4:30

13. RANDY BACHMAN'S VINYL TAP:
Monterey, a trip back to June 1967 this week on Randy Bachman's Vinyl
Tap. It was a time when the world had begun to open its eyes to new
styles, new sounds, and a new way of thinking. It was the
International Pop Music Festival in Monterey, California. Randy
interviews a very special guest who was not only at the Festival: this
person was a listening ear for Jimi Hendrix, who had the pre-show
jitters for fear that the crowd wouldn't like him. Monterey, from The

Sunday on Cross Country Checkup ... Vacationing at home. Canadians are
big on travelling abroad. We make millions of trips outside country
every year. Meanwhile, visits to Canada are down. And that will likely

soon. Should more of us travel in our own country? Are we neglecting
treasures in our own backyard? What's the best place to visit in
Canada? Join guest host Chris Hall, Sunday on Cross Country Checkup,
from 4 until 6 (EASTERN) on CBC Radio One.
9. THE WORLD THIS WEEKEND:
Washington's policy-makers continue to insist that the traditional jobs
that disappear thanks to globalization will be replaced by work in a
brave new high-tech "knowledge-based" economy. Free trade, goes the
thinking, is a rising tide that lifts all boats - a win-win situation.
Sunday on The World This Weekend, in Part Three of a special series,
Frank Koller sets out to examine that assumption. Hear that report
Sunday on The World This Weekend, with guest host Marsha Lederman, at
