victori...@cbc.ca
SATURDAY DECEMBER 3, 2005
1. THE HOUSE:
All three major parties have been lining up "star" candidates for some
of their more hotly-contested ridings. But there have already been a
few bumps in the road for these high-profile politicos, as The House
will demonstrate this week. Also, as Stephane Dion heads into an
election campaign, one of his predecessors as Environment Minister
looks at the impact of walking away while Canada plays host to a global
gathering of climate change experts. That's on The House, with Anthony
Germain, Saturday after World Report at 9 a.m. (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio
One.
2. GO:
When Brent Bambury decides it's time to write his last will and
testament, you can bet there will be a few odd moments along the way.
Journey with him this week on Go. Helping him along the way is Heather
Mallick of the Globe and Mail and Farley Flex from Canadian Idol. It's
full disclosure time. Funeral arrangements, trust funds and who gets
what - live from the GO studio, Saturday morning at 10 a.m. (10:30 NT)
on CBC Radio One.
3. O'REILLY ON ADVERTISING:
Advertisers around the world will spend some $417 Billion (U.S.) this
year. And much of that will be spent on ads that simply don't work.
Join Terry O'Reilly this Saturday morning for a look at why some ads
succeed, and others fail. That's this week on O'Reilly on Advertising,
Saturday morning at 11:30 (noon NT) on CBC Radio One.
4. QUIRKS AND QUARKS:
On the Way to a Warmer World: a full-edition special on Quirks and
Quarks this week. This week in Montreal, the United Nations conference
on Climate Change got underway. And according to the latest scientific
studies, the situation is more troubling than ever. New historical
data, going back 650,000 years, has confirmed what scientists have been
saying for the past decade: carbon dioxide levels are closely tied to
atmospheric temperature. And another new study shows that even wet
areas are going to have problems, as water flow patterns change,
leading to floods in the spring and droughts in the summer. Even the
oceans could be in trouble, as they try to adsorb the carbon dioxide,
threatening sea life. But solutions are out there, and Quirks looks at
how some researchers are trying to find ways to capture and store the
excess carbon. That's Quirks and Quarks, with host Bob McDonald,
Saturday afternoon after the noon news (12:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
5. DEFINITELY NOT THE OPERA:
Saturday on DNTO, host Sook-Yin Lee wonders why no political parties
are trying to convince her to run - if fellow Canadian celebrities Marc
Garneau, Tina Keeper and Peter Kent are doing it, why can't she?
Listen to DNTO this week as Canada's political leaders call up Sook-Yin
and convince her to run for their party. Also, DNTO's music maven John
Threlfall presents "Changing Jackets: When Books Become Records." All
that and indie troubadour Jason Collett, 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.
6. TALKING BOOKS:
This week on Talking Books, Ian Brown and his guests take a closer look
at The Book of Lists, a new Canadian version of a wildly popular
best-seller. Would you care to sample Margaret Atwood's 10 Annoying
Things to Say to Writers? 9 People Who Died Laughing? Chris Turner's
Best Canadian References on The Simpsons? How can you possibly resist?
Talking Books, with Ian Brown, Saturday afternoon at 4:30 (5 NT) on CBC
Radio One.
7. THE WORLD THIS WEEKEND:
The largest telescope in the Southern Hemisphere sits on a desolate
plain right at the centre of South Africa. It's called the Southern
African Large Telescope or SALT for short. But it wasn't money from
NASA or Western technology that brought it all about. This is an
African project, designed by Africans and largely funded by South
Africa. Saturday on The World This Weekend, Nick Miles reports on
Africa's most high- profile scientific project and the broader impact
it could have. That's on The World This Weekend, with Karen Horsman,
Saturday at 6:00 pm (7 AT; 7:30 NT) on both CBC Radio One and CBC Radio
Two.
7. MADLY OFF IN ALL DIRECTIONS:

Belleville. Host Lorne Elliott welcomes Toronto sketch group The
Frantics and, from Winnipeg, Al Rae. That's Madly Off in All
Directions, Saturday evening at 6:30 (7:30 AT, 8 NT) on CBC Radio One.
8. RANDY BACHMAN'S VINYL TAP:
There is a much-used question in songwriter interviews... "Which comes
first, the music or the words?" Sometimes the answer is a surprising
"No words" and another instrumental is born. This week on "Vinyl Tap"
Randy Bachman drops the needle on some tunes that don't need lyrics to
get the message out. In fact, the only words you'll hear will be from
Randy himself. Who can forget "Classical Gas" or "Music Box Dancer" or
"Wipeout" or the real crowd pleaser: "Tequila"?? OK, so that tune has a
one-word lyric but hey, it's mostly an instrumental! So "Walk, Don't
Run" to join Randy this week for a ride down the vinyl highway
featuring all instrumental tunes. Randy Bachman's Vinyl Tap, Saturday
evening at 7 p.m. (8 AT, 8:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
9. THE NATIONAL PLAYLIST COUNTDOWN:
Hip hop star Buck 65, music journalist Sarah Liss and broadcaster Terry
David Mulligan have been slicing and dicing the tunes all week on The
National Playlist, trying to determine which songs deserve a spot on
your iPod. Find out which tunes got the nod and which ones got the
hook, on The National Playlist Countdown, Saturday at 9 p.m. (6 p.m.
AT, 6:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
10. A PROPOS:
The newest crop of CDs from Quebec and France...and Vancouver-has
arrived at A Propos - just in time for Christmas! They range from the
funky and 'out there' to the heartfelt and personal, from France's
Katerine--Catherine--a guy who likes to tweak conventions, to
Vancouver's Harry Manx, who's found a faithful fan base all over
Quebec. And host Jim Corcoran confesses his flirtation with French
rhythms on his own new album. Join host Jim Corcoran for A Propos
Saturday at 10:00 p.m. (10:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
11. SATURDAY NIGHT BLUES:
In 1966, Curley Bridges, a great blues piano man, left the United
States to settle in Canada. The rest is, well, musical history. Meet
him this week in Hour One of Saturday Night Blues, when he stops by for
a chat with Holger about his latest release, "Keys to the Blues" In
Hour Two...a legend... guitarist Buddy Guy, recorded at the Salmon Arm
Roots and Blues Festival. Since the late 50s, Buddy's recorded classic
sessions with Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Koko Taylor, and spent
decades burning up concert stages around the world. That's on Saturday
Night Blues, starting at 11 (11:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.

--- WEEKEND HOT SHEET, SUNDAY DECEMBER 4, 2005 ---
1. THE SUNDAY EDITION:
This week, the Vatican reiterated its ban on gay men in the priesthood.
To some, this may seem like the logical extension of the Church's
disapproval of homosexuality. But for others, the Church has now gone
further than ever before by suggesting homosexuals are fundamentally
unfit for the priesthood. The move has prompted one Catholic priest to
stand up and publicly state that he himself is gay, and to criticize
his church and its leaders for what he sees as a demonization of young
gay men. Father Richard Renshaw of Montreal has dedicated his entire
life to the priesthood, working in countries devastated by wars and
natural disasters, and on social justice and peace initiatives here in
Canada. Father Renshaw talks with Michael Enright, this week on The
Sunday Edition, right after the 9 a.m. news (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
2. VINYL CAFE:
The Vinyl Café announces their annual Christmas Contest prizes this
week. Every year, one lucky winner gets an all-expenses-paid trip to
Toronto. They get to see the Vinyl Café Live. They get dinner with the
cast and crew, and they stay in a swank hotel. On this week's show,
they'll call the winner. They'll also play everyone's favourite Dave &
Morley Story, Dave Cooks the Turkey. That's this week at the Vinyl
Cafe, Sunday after the noon news (12:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
3. WIRETAP:
Find out what it's like to date Lois Lane when she's on the rebound
from Superman. A story by Jonathan Goldstein, performed by Rob Cordry,
of The Daily Show, this week on WireTap, Sunday afternoon at 1:00 (1:30
NT, 4: PT) on CBC Radio One.
4. THE INSIDE TRACK:
Some athletes are more than willing to speak out on hot topics -
including political ones. And others, just as well known, choose to
remain silent. This week on The Inside Track, host Robin Brown talks
with author Dave Zirin, who has written a book that chronicles the
history of sports and athletes and the role they have played in
politics. His book "What's My Name Fool?" examines the question 'why
do some athletes use their profile to speak out like Muhammad Ali,
while others do not? That's this week on The Inside Track, Sunday
afternoon at 1:30 (2:00 NT; 4:30 PT) on CBC Radio One.
5. TAPESTRY:
This week on Tapestry... My Great Grandfather's Tefillin: Harry
Schachter tells the story of a Jewish religious object and its passage
through the generations of his family. Also, Mary Hynes in conversation
with Lucinda Vardey. Vardey was a successful businesswoman. Now she
leads spiritual pilgrimages tracing the lives of the Italian saints.
Lucinda talks about the call she received that led her to leave her
job, buy an old farmhouse in Tuscany and follow in the footsteps of St.
Francis of Assisi. That's on Tapestry, Sunday afternoon right after the
2 p.m. news (2:30 NT, 4 MT, 3 PT) on CBC Radio One.

Company, Sunday afternoon at 3 (3:30 NT, 5 CT/MT/PT) on CBC Radio One.
7. CROSS-COUNTRY CHECKUP:
Sunday on Cross Country Checkup ...top election issues. It's being
called the election that nobody wants but everybody needs. The parties
are jostling to set the terms by which this campaign will be fought
...and won. What do you think? Are they responding to your needs? Are
they talking about the right things? What is the top election issue for
you? Join host Rex Murphy, Sunday on Cross Country Checkup, from 4
until 6 (EASTERN) on CBC Radio One.
8. THE WORLD THIS WEEKEND:
Many films use jazz as background music. But in the movie "Good Night
and Good Luck," music takes on another role. The 1950s jazz sung by
Dianne Reeves becomes almost another character in the film about TV
journalist Edward R. Murrow's battles with Senator Joe McCarthy. Sunday
on The World This Weekend, Reese Erlich looks at how jazz is used in
this and other films. The World This Weekend, with Lorna Jackson,
Sunday at 6:00 pm (7 AT; 7:30 NT) on both CBC Radio One and CBC Radio

women of Galiano Island. The fishing vessel the Loretta B has capsized
with five people on board - leaving 18-year- old Eileen Lorenz floating
in the darkness, lashed to two fish boxes by her young husband Jim
before he, too, slipped beneath the water. That's "Women and Fish:
Hours of Water" on Sunday Showcase starting at 10 p.m. (11 AT, 11:30
NT) on CBC Radio One.
12. JAZZBEAT:
Singer Julie Mahendran brings her supple yet strong voice to Hour One
of Jazz Beat this week. In Hour Two...say "Jane Bunnett", and people
probably think first of the saxophonist's devotion to the music of
Cuba. But tonight Katie showcases one of Jane's other recent projects:
her partnership with the Penderecki String Quartet. It's moving, exotic
music performed with heart and soul at Vancouver's Jazz Festival.

you'll see how carefully orchestrated the open house can be, and whom
it's really meant to serve. Wendy Mesley takes you behind the closed

CBC using Twister without paying royalties.
