after World Report at 9 a.m. (9:30 NT) on CBC

3. GO:
Last June, GO cooked up something pretty explosive in the CBC
laboratory. Brent Bambury paired up Jim Cuddy from Blue Rodeo with a
high school string quartet for an exciting new rendition of the hit
song "Try". Go builds on that success this Saturday morning. Brent
welcomes back arranger and orchestral leader Kevin Fox for the first of
the official monthly Go Sessions. Kevin will be dropped into the
musical melange with Chris Murphy and Jay Ferguson of Sloan. Add a
pinch of orchestral harp and a dash of French horn and who knows what

4. MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD:
"John the Compassionate" this week on Man, Woman and Child. A
neighbourhood is really just a smaller village - and nobody knows that
more than John, when his house becomes the village centre. That's Man,
Woman and Child, with John Wing, Saturday morning at 11:30 (noon NT) on
CBC Radio One.
5. QUIRKS AND QUARKS:
Eat Your Words...this week on Quirks and Quarks. For most of us,
sitting down with the newspaper and a cup of coffee involves two
separate sensory experiences. One is the process of reading the paper.
The other is tasting the coffee. But for a very small group of people,
these two separate experiences become one. Reading a newspaper can
evoke strong tastes. Even hearing certain words can cause these people
to sense the taste of specific foods. The phenomenon is a form of
synesthesia - a rare condition in which a person's senses become
crossed. Imagine hearing the word "castanets" and tasting tuna fish. Or
tasting sausage when you hear the words "Roger", "Regina", "register",
or "edge". It gives a whole new meaning to having a taste for
literature. Find out more on Quirks and Quarks, with host Bob McDonald,
Saturday afternoon after the noon news (12:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
6. DEFINITELY NOT THE OPERA:
This Saturday on DNTO, Sook-Yin Lee goes in search of the perfect
manifesto. She chats with design innovator Bruce Mao about his
Incomplete Manifesto for Growth (Point 27: read-only left hand pages),
and then tries to put his points into practice by trying them out on
unsuspecting villagers. Plus comedian Fraser Young on The Pedestrian
Manifesto, and alt-country goddess Neko Case, caught live in concert.
That's on Definitely Not the Opera Saturday after the one p.m. news
(1:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
7. TERRY O'REILLY AND THE AGE OF PERSUASION:
"Love, Marriage & Sexual Tension" this week on The Age of Persuasion. A
funny thing happens to men when they marry: their I-Qs drop 40 points
- and Terry O'Reilly has the Ads to prove it. This week, Terry takes
a playful look at the eternally fascinating differences between men and
women - and how they shape the world's greatest ads. Terry O'Reilly
and the Age of Persuasion, Saturday afternoon at 4 (4:30 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
8. TALKING BOOKS:

of a new chapter in Canadian politics. Get the latest from the
convention Saturday on The World This Weekend with Lorna Jackson, at

the borders and increasing immigration, while his opponent, Korean
Canadian Paul Bae says, "Enough is enough!" Next up, Gary Jones argues
that legalizing prostitution will take all the fun out of "snagging a
hooker," while Deb Kimmett counters that legalizing the sex trade will
make it easier for kids to pick out a Father's Day present. That's
this week on The Debaters, Saturday evening at 6:30 (7:30 AT, 8 NT) on
CBC Radio One.
11. RANDY BACHMAN'S VINYL TAP:
Way back in the dim dark days before vinyl, if you were a singer in a
girl group, chances are you were a novelty act on a vaudeville stage.
Through the 1940s you might have teamed up with your sisters or your
cousins and entertained the troops or perhaps sang a song or two in a
movie. Then came the Sixties and the explosion of girl groups. It began
with the Shirelles and went on to include hundreds of different acts,
lasting right up until the Eighties with groups such as the Go-Gos,
Bananarama and The Bangles.
The Ronettes, The Chiffons, The Crystals, The Dixie Cups, The
Supremes... just a few of the girl groups you'll hear this week on
