We will begin the show by marking a sad anniversary.

Two years ago this week, in the town of Chatham, Ontario - a drunk driver crashed into a van, killing everyone inside. The passengers were four elderly women... lifelong friends and beloved in their community. The driver was sentenced a few weeks ago to four years in prison. This has sparked outrage in Chatham and across Canada, and has sparked us to look at how we (as a society) can best address the problem of some idiot getting behind the wheel of an automobile after having one, or more than one, too many.

In our second hour... the Franco-Anglo-Inuk singer and songwriter Elisapie Isaac. Isaac grew up in Salluit, in Nunavik, northern Quebec where her musical influences ranged from throat singing to Euro-Pop. She was part of the group Taima, then took a few years off to start a family. She has just returned to music with a new solo CD, There Will Be Stars. It's lovely.

Ben Yagoda's new book, Memoir: A History is a well-researched look at the history of the personal reminiscence. It is also at times bawdy, rollicking, sex-and-scandal filled and thoroughly entertaining.

Elsewhere in the show, you'll hear Michael Enright and Robert Harris with Edition 18 of his series, 20 Pieces of Music that Changed the World.

And five-years-ago documentary producer Frank Falk blew the lid off a dark Christmas secret. A secret that struck at the heart of the season known as much for its shopping as its spirituality. The secret? Men who give gifts. And the women who actually buy the gifts for them to give. Today, a repeat of this shocking expose.
