Health and environment lead CBC Radio summer sked
Healthcare and the environment are two hot-button issues for Canadians, and this summer CBC Radio will explore both from unique perspectives.
It will also welcome a number of new hosts to CBC Radio, including Steven Page of Barenaked Ladies and country music star Lisa Brokop.
- White Coat, Black Art – Dr. Brian Goldman takes listeners through the swinging doors of hospitals and doctors’ offices, behind the curtain where the gurney lies. It’s a biting, original and provocative show that will demystify the world of medicine with a refreshing and unprecedented level of honesty.
- Destination Wellville – Pauline Dakin tracks the personal journeys of Canadians in one community as they try to get and stay healthy. She’ll follow the people of Kentville, N.S. on one leg of their ongoing effort to stave off the inevitable.
- Feeling the Heat – A bold new program hosted by Ian Hanomansing that inspires Canadians to get serious about the environment. One person can make a difference – and each week, Canadians across the country will find out how.
- Climate Currents – Anna Maria Tremonti distills some of the highlights of The Current’s environmental coverage into a compelling series of portraits of the people and places affected by climate change.
- All the Rage – Steven Page (Barenaked Ladies) takes an entertaining look at fads and trends through the ages…and uncovers the surprising ways they connect to our lives today.
- Hidden City – Nick Purdon sifts through garbage, chats up cabbies, and hangs out in dark alleyways – all in the name of unearthing the secret rules, behaviours and activities that make the modern city work.
- Twang – Lisa Brokop serves up a great mix of music on the show where country’s cousins, both old and new, get to meet.
- Flavour of the Week – Fred Lee and Margaret Gallagher explore a new culinary flavour every week with people who know how to make the most of it.
- Live by the Drum – Wabanakwut Kinew examines how humanity is linked by rhythm and drumbeats when he explores how different cultures around the world express universal experiences like war, sex and death using ‘beat-heavy music’.
- This I Believe – This series, hosted by Preston Manning, explores the personal beliefs, perspectives and values that guide individuals. The series launches May 14 with essays from 40 prominent Canadians, as well as essays from ordinary Canadians.
- Soccer – This summer, we’ll be featuring live coverage of two FIFA Under 20 World Cup matches. Tune in July 1 for the first game, and July 22 for live coverage of the final. We’ll also present a five-part drama with a soccer-crazed world as the backdrop. ‘Y’ Soccer is about a group of disparate individuals brought together by an obsession with the sport.
- Drama & Comedy – Listeners will get another chance to hear some of our most popular comedy and dramatic programming, including Afghanada, Monsoon House, Man, Woman & Child, Steve the First and Steve the Second.

Looking forward to a schedule to see which shows I’ll be able to listen to; hopefully “Heat”, “Currents” and “Flavour” will be at good times.
Also, is that a complete list? If so, what happened to Emm Gryner and Danny Michel’s Under the Covers (which I think was scheduled to debut on Victoria Day)?
Finally CBC Radio One is going to have “LIVE” FIFA Soccer Games Coverage but 2 games. CBC Need to look at that more and offer more games on CBC Radio? CBC Radio should look at bringing CFL and NHL games “Live” on CBC Radio then it CBC will be Number 1 in my books..
Heard “Things I Believe” last evening for the first time ever. Asolutely loved it. Is there any way to get transcripts, or more information on the author who was featured for any given show?
There’s a website for the show; it doesn’t have full show transcripts, but it does have author bios and essays in text and audio format.
If you really want transcripts, an external company does ‘em. They’ll probably want some form of monetary compensation though.
Wondering if CBC could set up its own sports radio operation. I’m just about convinced that they’ll have enough content to justify it, not to mention the eyeballs.
Or in this case, the eardrums, I should’ve said.
