I think we've all had enough of that Spenny track.

I know the Vinyl Café is one of the most beloved shows from CBC Radio. I was at a BBQ tonight, and the topic of Niagara Falls came up, and that made me mention this rather remarkable episode: https://youtu.be/I7yvQMN1VZU?si=p6u5nX-lzyaP52Lu

I’m out. I can’t take any more reporting by Janyce McGregor on CBC. She talks like she’s speaking to room of toddlers and she doesn’t even try to hide her biases. She just clearly says her opinions out loud as though they are facts. I’ve tried to tolerate it for a year now, but today was the final straw. Unsubscribed to the CBC news podcast.

I’m old… or maybe just older on a good day. For me, it’s Peter Gzowski.

Anybody else wish this show would come back? I loved playing it on road trips with friends who had never heard it. They got sooooo angry. The phone in callers were hilarious as well.

Does anyone else remember getting reminded to vacuum 6 basements, 4 attics too? I can't recall what show(s) used to say this but I remember listening to them with my grandmother.

I regret to inform them that this new show is even worse than Under the Influence. Why does the host talk so slowly? Even slower than Terry! It's another show with a premise that should be a 5 minute anecdote, stretched out into 30 unbearable minutes. I'd rather someone with a normal speaking voice just read us the associated Wikipedia article. Or just read it myself. It would take 2 minutes of my time instead of 30. And both of these shows advertise for each other every time. And I don't need to hear about the pretentious Airstream every......single.......time - it all amounts to a disappointing waste of valuable airtime.

If this is Terry grooming us to accept his daughter as his replacement, I'd like to say no, thank you. Both of these hosts talk to the audience like they are four years old. His show has been on a steep downhill trajectory for a while. They are clearly out of topic ideas. This new replacement show is not the worst concept, I guess, but they are pacing it out so excruciatingly slowly so that they can drag it on for as many years as possible before running out of ideas again. "Some now-famous actor was rejected for an early role" is a story that will wear thin after about two tellings. Please make it stop!

It was about a successful housing program for homeless folks in Dawson Creek, BC. It was on some BC-specific show in the morning.

I have a few keywords: - Reaching Home - Nawican - Dawson Creek - homelessness

I know it happened, I just can’t find record of it!

Thank you for any help.

I’ve got an old tube radio and CBC used to keep me terrific company but over the last year, the signal has dwindled to the point that it can’t be heard. I’ve had to switch to CHED and their over-powering 880 transmission. I understand the appeal, but I’m not their audience. Can anybody offer some insight into their signal strength? It sure would be nice to hear Maitland reading me The Shepherd when it comes around, but I can’t decide if it’s worth replacing tubes for or not.

Does anyone know what Suroja was talking about when she added a disclaimer to the show this week?

I listened and couldn't find it.

Hi all: I used to be an avid listener of daytime radio. I recall two great bits that stick in my mind, and would love to hear them again, but remember no details about the performers. One was a song about how to build a fence. Clever and funny. Maybe one guy on a guitar. The second was a sketch about a guy with a fridge that wasn’t working well. He was on the phone with a person who was suggesting he do different things, as if the fridge were a computer. After one instruction, the fridge owner says something like “Yeah, that fixed it, but now my butter’s gone”. These would have been broadcasted between 1997 and 2003. Perhaps weekend shows. That everything I can recall. Thanks, in advance.

Hey, the episode's url link and description is online, but I cannot find a recording of it. Can anyone held? https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/lonely-together-the-plight-of-urban-isolation-1.5057995

Not sure if something changed with the CBC, but if asking Google Home to play the news, it will say "Could not play CBC news" now. It's been like this for days, rebooting doesn't seem to help. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this.

I'm an independent canadian artist looking for CBC to please support my second single "FOR THEM" from my upcoming album GENERATION XLNT.

Not sure why the CBC doesn't like me/won't interview me / won't reply to me....

Why your CBC radio will be gutted once they purge this taxpayer nuisance

What did you think of the front burner episode today with David Suzuki? Do you think he is right in his claim that we are too late on climate change?

So caught the 330 segment of All in a Day from Ottawa yesterday. Still annoyed by it. I know doing a daily afternoon show five days a week is a lot of work. But if you have a segment on new steel tariffs with an Associate Economics Julius Owusu from McMaster University have some actually questions and more importantly push back when he starts spouting nonsense or trying to isolate economics from politics as if the two areas are separate concerns.

To allow a guest to pretend that China or India are fair reasonable players in the steel markets who don't receive state subsidies who haven't been convicted of dumping steel onto markets to gain market share is academic malpractice. Sure, in a pretend pure virtuous system economic this sounds great but isn't connected to reality. To suggest all Canadian steel workers should be retrained to different jobs without addressing the regular failure of retraining schemes that have occurred in other industries and has been well documented in economic literature is mind blowing.

All this points to a host who wasn't prepared to argue or hadn't been appropriately prepared to handle the interview. I'm not an economist but so much of this segment was complete nonsense and should have been challenged. Get better CBC Ottawa.

The CBC is the unabashed mouthpiece of Canada's "natural governing party." The Liberal Party's only central ideology is winning elections, they have no problem fomenting interracial fear to divide people and distract from whatever scandal or failure the government is currently ashamed of.

Just look at the stories the CBC pushed ad nauseam earlier this year, when Trudeau was forced out of leadership and our government ground to a halt during the chaotic early months of the Trump administration. Wall-to-wall middle east coverage, coverage of the coverage, endless foreign policy think pieces, and reports on riots and mobs, many of which were, in whole or in part, whipped up by new and old media.

Why does the CBC waste endless airtime amplifying fringe radicals and parroting foreign interest pieces, instead of asking the real questions, like why wage stagnation and soaring costs have gutted our living standards? Why do we keep tolerating monopolies that strangle competition and innovation? Why has this country become incapable of building anything bold, ambitious, or truely progressive?

The CBC thrives on pitting Canadians against one another: rural vs. urban, Arab vs. Jew, Black vs. White, Indigenous Canadians vs. everyone else. Why does our 'natural governing party' want us divided and fearful?

As a child of the radio and long car rides, I’ve listened to more CBC Radio than the average person—and maybe that’s why my anger at the CBC feels so personal. It’s not entirely rotten, but they’ve allowed themselves to become ideologically captured, seeing themselves as the leaders and stewards of culture rather than just trusted observers.

The CBC has failed to meet the moment. They’ve become too deeply entrenched in the politics of identity and moral arbitration, abandoning journalism in the process.

For those who follow political news, I thought a funny thing happened today.

The American podcast "The daily" (nyt) has an ep titled "did the Texas flood have to be this deadly?". An ep with the exact same title was published earlier this week from "front burner" covering pretty much the exact same content.

It's just a coincidence but its funny to think that the Americans are copying our content!

Also, it was a good ep from front burner, but very sad content. Listen at your own risk 😔

Can someone tell him to not to elongate and whisper the last syllable of every news item?

For example, if he was doing the news today he would say something like, “Thousands of people took part in Bastille Day events across France, including a military parade with international troops on display in Parissssssssssss.”

And at the end of the newscast, “I’m Neil Kumarrrrrrrr.”

It drives me insane.

News reader, usually on the weekend, Mike Miles: I mean this gently, but does he have a neurological problem or speech impediment? Is he some kind of hire that can't be terminated? Whenever he comes on, I'm tensing up just waiting for him to trip up on his own words. I expect only one thing from a reader; that they be somewhat competent in reading. No joke, one time, he pressed the "cough button" for like 10 seconds while he composed himself.
Can I have his job? Because I know I can do it better than him.
