1. WHITE COAT, BLACK ART:
Saturday on White Coat, Black Art…it’s NOT hard to find something to
complain about in Canada’s health-care system. For instance, many
people have no family doctor…and those who do often have trouble
getting in to see them when they need to. It’s a problem made worse
by the panic over the H1N1 flu virus. On today’s episode, host Dr.
Brian Goldman looks at the innovative steps some general practitioners
are taking to provide quicker and better care. One of those
physicians is Dr. John Pawlovich of Fraser Lake, British Columbia.
He’ll be on the show to discuss how his clinic is now offering group
medical appointments.
Examining the redesign of family practices this week on White Coat,
Black Art with host Brian Goldman...Saturday at 10:00 a.m. (10:30 NT)
on CBC Radio One.
2. GO!:
This week, GO! is live from Edmonton. Host Brent Bambury is on the
hunt for the family with the MOST CBC love. You know the type:
they’ve got a dozen radios permanently welded to the CBC…they feel
they’re on a first name basis with Anna Maria. The kids listened to
Peter Gzowski while they were in the womb...and they can recite the
Vinyl Cafe's Christmas story - word for word. It’s a showcase of CBC
Radio nerds! But only ONE will be crowned the ULTIMATE CBC Family.
That’s on GO! with host Brent Bambury. Saturday at 10:30 a.m. (11 NT)
on CBC Radio One.
3. QUIRKS & QUARKS:
Canadian astronaut Julie Payette returned this past summer from her
second trip to space…with a special present for Quirks & Quarks! The
program gave her a Quirks postcard to take with her on the Space
Shuttle, and on to the International Space Station. This week on
Quirks & Quarks, Payette will be in studio to give it back to host Bob
McDonald - after carrying it on a 10.5 million-kilometre journey.
She’ll also reveal another special memento she brought on the historic
space mission.
Julie Payette in a “far-out” interview on Quirks & Quarks, Saturday at
12noon (12:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
4. THE DEBATERS:
This week, The Debaters questions the merits of karaoke. Asian
comedian Paul Bae is out to prove that Edmonton's Neil Grahn is both
out of tune and out of touch…if he thinks that this sing-along pastime
hits any right notes. Then, the show lands a debate on air travel.
"Plane" speaking funnyman Al Rae tries to convince comic Graham Clark
that with Westjet flying so high…it wouldn't hurt Canadians if Air
Canada became grounded for good.
As always The Debaters is your one-way ticket to hilarity. Be sure to
be at the Radio One departure gate Saturday at 1:00 p.m. (1:30 NT) on
CBC Radio One.
5. WIRETAP:
Saturday on WireTap, Howard turns his apartment into a micro-nation.
He forms the first country with wall-to-wall carpeting! Then, Gregor
makes Jonathan a personalized mix-tape to help him serenade the
ladies.
That’s on WireTap…Saturday at 1:30 p.m. (2 NT) on CBC Radio One.

6. SATURDAY AFTERNOON AT THE OPERA:
Love works in mysterious ways this week on Saturday Afternoon at the
Opera. Hector Berlioz’s comic masterpiece Béatrice et Bénédict comes
alive through this concert presentation produced by Radio France. On
the island of Sicily, Béatrice and Bénédict share an interest in
outwitting each other surrounded by sharp romantic tension. Claudio
and Héro see the chemistry between the duelling duo…and are determined
to make Béatrice and Bénédict recognize the true feelings within their
hearts.
Sir Colin Davis leads the Orchestre National de France. And featured
in the production are sopranos Joyce di Donato as Béatrice and
Nathalie Manfrino as Héro. Tenor Charles Workman is in the role of
Bénédict and Canadian baritone Jean-Francois Lapointe portrays
Claudio.

p.m. (2 AT, 2:30 NT) on CBC Radio 2.

1. THE SUNDAY EDITION:
Some call him a terrorist…while others call him a statesman. Either
way, Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams has been at the centre of the
controversial Irish Republican movement for an entire generation. Both
in prison and in Parliament, he’s spent decades fighting for his
cause. This week on The Sunday Edition, Gerry Adams is in
conversation with host Michael Enright to talk about a life devoted to
Irish sovereignty. That’s on Sunday at 9:00 a.m. (9:30 NT)…on CBC
Radio One.
2. SPARK:
Sunday on Spark, host Nora Young hears from Kate Arkless Gray of the
BBC project "Save our Sounds". She’ll explain how the initiative aims
to preserve endangered sounds for future generations. Noises - like
city scapes, animals, dial-up modems, and fax machines - are familiar
to many but may soon disappear from everyday lives. Gray will also
share some of these fascinating and threatened sounds from around the
world.
A look at acoustic ecology on Spark with host Nora Young…Sunday at
1:00 p.m. (1:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. CROSS COUNTRY CHECKUP: ** NOTE: please change time to suit your
time zone...Network shows say "Sunday afternoon..." **
This week on Cross Country Checkup…gun control. Parliament voted this
week to kill the long-gun registry. It's another shot in what some
say is an ongoing battle between urban and rural Canada. On Sunday’s
show, host Rex Murphy wants to hear what listeners think about
abolishing the contentious list. Is it time to scrap the registry?
Join the conversation on Cross Country Checkup…Sunday at 4:00 p.m.
EASTERN on CBC Radio One.
4. C'EST LA VIE:
Sunday evening on C’est la vie…musical group Les Trois Accords discuss
their rise to fame and their unique approach to songwriting. The
Drummondville, Quebec band gained popularity with their hit song,
Hawaienne. But it was their second hit Saskatchewan - a song about a
cowboy whose girlfriend leaves him for a guy from Regina - that
changed the course of their career forever.
Meet members of Les Trois Accords on C'est la vie with Bernard St-
Laurent, Sunday evening at 6:30 p.m. (7:30 AT, 8 NT) on CBC Radio One.
