[cdn-nucl-l] Interviews on radiation health effects and nuclear power, Fw: When will interviews be aired?
I was interviewed in late October by Dini Petty (see the write-up on her
pasted below). A remarkable woman!
The interviews will be broadcast on CFRB (dial 1010, http://www.cfrb.com/ )
this Saturday, Nov 13, on The Dini Petty Show, 7 to 8 PM, EST.
We talked for 10 minutes on radiation health effects and for 10 minutes on
nuclear power.

P.S. I met Dini two years ago at a workshop in Ottawa, sponsored by the
Federal Provincial Territorial Radiation Protection Committee, to discuss
what the dose limits should be for pregnant workers. Dini Petty was the
facilitator. I brought several papers on the beneficial health effects of
low doses of radiation (50 copies of each). The committee ran off more
copies and distributed them to all of the participants. People were arguing
vigorously about where, in the range from 1 to 10 mSv, the annual limit
should be, and I kept pointing out that the HPS and the ANS have issued
position papers stating that there are no observable adverse effects below a
dose of 100 mSv. Dini could not understand what the fuss was all about.
She said that she was going to interview me some day.

Hi Jerry
Your interview will be on this weekend on CFRB

-------------------------
Dini Petty is the newest member of the CFRB broadcast family. You can hear
her Saturday nights 7 to 8 on Newstalk 1010 CFRB. The Dini Petty Show is
talk radio for baby boomers.
CFRB listeners will remember her as the host of the Dini Petty Show that
aired daily on CTV for 10 years.
Dini is a brilliant conversationalist with a grace and sense of fun that is
hard to resist. She first came to the public’s attention when she was
twenty-two years old and became the first woman in aviation history to pilot
a helicopter while simultaneously reporting on traffic for a Toronto radio
station. Going the distance was nothing new for Dini who acquired five
thousand hours as pilot-in-command of a "pink" Hughes 300 helicopter, while
wearing her pink jumpsuit.
At City TV, Dini set precedents as the award-winning anchor of Toronto’s
City-TV and hosted an innovative talk show that set Canadian broadcast
records for size of its viewing audience.
In 1980 Dini created television history when the camera followed her
thorough the pregnancy and birth of her son Nicholas. This award-winning
documentary helped to demystify and break down the stigma of pregnancy and
childbirth.
Dini won many awards for her documentary work at City TV as writer and host
on Citypulse News at 6:00, where Dini co-anchored and reported. During her
25 year television career, Dini has been honoured with other awards
including six Can Pro Awards for television excellence for either her talk
show or documentary work, four Gemini awards for her interviewing skills and
The NATPE International Iris Award - an American award for best
International Program for her interview with Red Skelton.
In 1992 the Royal General Bulb Growers Assoc. of the Netherlands recognized
Dini for her two decades of public service and had a triumph tulip named
after her.
She has also written a children’s book – an epic poem entitled The Queen,
The Bear and The Bumblebee. The Children’s Group is developing a musical
version of that book.

Hi Dini, John,
I thought I'd drop a line to inquire when the radio broadcasts of the
interviews will be aired. I'd like to inform my friends and listen to it
also.
Best wishes,
Jerry
