"Your DNTO" gets lost (Nov. 30)
What do you find when you get lost? That's the question Your DNTO asks this week. Read on to find out what's on the show.
A few years back, Steve Thomas found himself in the Cambodian jungle with Aki Ra - former child soldier, now de-miner, and expert hunter. So what do you do when your expert guide tells you he's lost? Steve tells us his story.
DNTO listener Martha tells us what she found by getting lost.
What happened when Sook-Yin set out to get lost with Shawn Micallef, author of Stroll: Psychogeographic Walking Tours of Toronto? We'll find out.
It's an old stereotype that men refuse to ask for directions. But when she's in the midst of contractions - and he's "misplaced" the hospital - will Jean Freeman's husband finally ask? We'll hear her story.
When was the last time you got lost... and how did you find your way? Sook-Yin and her mic find their way to you for the answer.
A GPS device is supposed to keep you from getting lost. Theoretically. Two DNTO listeners explain why that theory isn't always how things actually work out. (And for more on the downside of the GPS, see Alex Hutchinson's article in The Walrus.)
Most of us get "turned around" from time to time. But imagine getting lost in your own home. It's a terrifying reality for people with developmental topographical disorientation - and Sharon Roseman tells us her story.
Sook-Yin will talk with the man who first discovered Sharon's neurological condition - and let her know she is not alone - University of Calgary researcher Giuseppe Iaria.
Mike Odongkara was lost for about a year and a half. When he was 14, soldiers came to his school in northern Uganda, rounded up the kids, and drove them away. They were treated like slaves and used as human shields during fighting. Mike recounts how he found his way home.
And here's this week's playlist:
Sweet Thing - "Change of Seasons"
Talking Heads - "Road to Nowhere"
Blue Rodeo - "Lost Together"
Christa Couture - "Map Unfolded"
