0700 Where's the beef? That's more than a catchphrase from an old burger chain ad. It's what more and more people are asking about THEIR meat selections. More specifically, where does the beef come from.
Mario Fiorucci can offer answers. He's the owner of three Healthy Butcher stores in Toronto and Kitchener. And he also offers butcher courses. Mario told host Mary Ito why "meat" is on people's minds.

0730 It's interesting what a difference a few decades can make...at least when it comes to Ontario wines. Author Linda Bramble came in to talk about the visionaries who caused a wine revolution in the Niagara Region. Her book is called---naturally enough---Niagara's Wine Visionaries. It's published by Lorimer.

0800 It's tough to be the new kid on the block. But coming to a new country poses special challenges. That's the theme of a multi-media dance show called Displacement. The man in charge has his OWN story to tell about making a fresh start in a new land. His name is Vitek Wincza. He's artistic director of the Hamilton Conservatory of Arts Dance Theatre. Vitek talked with Mary about his own experience...and how similiar experiences are portrayed in the work. Displacement will be performed tonight (Nov 21) in Toronto at Harbourfront Centre's Fleck Dance Theatre. Learn more about it at the HCA website.

0830 That Michael Kaeshammer sure gets around. All the way to China. He went there for a two week concert tour. And now that he's back...Mary invited him in to the studio to talk about it.
Listen (runs 10:41) to that conversation. And catch Michael in concert tonight (Nov 21) at Koerner Hall in Toronto. Get all the details at Michael's website.
