to talk about the best stories over the years. Up soon - tonight.

1. I love that program.

CBC radio is an absolute treasure. And Carol Off is so relaxing to listen to.

I'm a huge fan of Writers and Company, too. Eleanor Wachtel has introduced me to so many great books.

2. I've got to get back to it. CBC radio was on the whole time I grew up.

It was on upstairs and downstairs in the evening. It was on when we packed into the car and drove to an from the cottage. I stopped listening to it in my late twenties. I should go back to it. Chocked up quite a bit over the years listening to AS IT HAPPENS.

3. My wife is a big fan of

Randy Bachman's Vinyl Tap and This is That (which is in its last season -- it fooled a lot of people with its satire).

We also tune in to Cross-Country Checkup some Sunday afternoons.

4. Yes. Vinyl tap is one i used to listen to as i went for a drive. Cross Country checkup

is a classic.

5. I love Vinyl Tap and that show the guy who talks about advertising does.

The name is escaping me. CBC Radio is a true treasure.

6. Yes, also fascinating!
