CBCRadioHotsheet
1. THE CURRENT:
In the wake of the death of Canadian reporter Michelle Lang .., The
Current looks at the costs of covering the war in Afghanistan, in
terms of the danger to reporters and the quality of the information we
get back.
That’s today on The Current, with host Anna Maria Tremonti, at 8:30
a.m. (9 NT) on CBC Radio One.
2. Q:
This morning on Q… The Republic of Doyle premieres on CBC TV tomorrow.
It's a private detective series set in St. John's Newfoundland at a
time when the charming port town is transforming into a booming oil
city -- with plenty of crime and vice to keep a P.I. busy. Allan
Hawco discusses his dual role - as lead actor and producer - in the
Republic of Doyle.
Don’t miss Q with host Jian Ghomeshi, today at 10:00 a.m. (10:30 NT)
on CBC Radio One.
3. IN THE FIELD:
Man-about-town, playwright, director, poet, prolific letter writer…
Later today on In The Field...a documentary that explores the hasty
genius of none other than Noel Coward. It seems we just can't get
enough of him these days. That's the resurgence of the work of Noel
Coward, today at 1:00 p.m. (1:30 NT) on In The Field with host David
Gutnick, on CBC Radio One.
4. YOUR DNTO:
Today on Your DNTO… What gets lost - and found - in translation? This
week, we're looking at where being "linguistically-challenged" gets
us... for better or for worse. Nick Purdon explains why no matter how
hard you try, attempting to sound "hip" with your kids will always,
always make you sound dorky. Habiba Nosheen will explain how a
misunderstanding about a seemingly-innocent childhood ritual nearly
convinced her mom to move the family back to Pakistan. And we'll ask
author Robert J. Sawyer how he feels about the translation of his
novel, FlashForward, to television. ...And DNTO listeners share their
stories of mangling the language.
All that and more on Your DNTO with host Sook-Yin Lee, today at 2:00
p.m. (2:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
5. IDEAS:
This evening on IDEAS … Reason has been a blessing for humanity, but
often at the cost of dulling our ability to appreciate the ineffable -
that dimension of human experience that evokes wonder and awe. Walking
at the Edge of Reason and Awe … on IDEAS, tonight at 9:00 p.m. (9:30
NT) on CBC Radio One.
6. RADIO 2 DRIVE:
Not only is it a new year but a new decade. It's nice to know some
things don't change, like Radio 2 Drive with Rich Terfry. Join him
this afternoon for a musical mix you won't find anywhere else. That’s
on Radio 2 Drive … today at 3:30 p.m. (4 NT) on CBC Radio 2.

7. CANADA LIVE:
From Vancouver Island to the Arctic Circle, Arlo Guthrie is a native
son! A singer, songwriter, and lifelong political activist, Arlo
Guthrie carries on the legacy of his legendary father, Woodie
Guthrie. Growing up in the early sixties, Arlo spent time with
musicians and beat poets, took it all in and developed his style.
Arlo's expressive, distinctive voice and message is still ringing
clear. He’s a natural-born storyteller, whose tales and anecdotes
bring his concerts to life. Canada Live caught up with this icon of
the 60's folk era, singing and telling stories at the Vancouver Island
MusicFest, in Courtenay, B.C., before an adoring crowd that knew all
the words.
That’s Arlo Guthrie on Canada Live, tonight at 7:00 p.m. (7:30 NT) on
CBC Radio 2.
