I love the CBC. Its news coverage is among the best around, it’s meant the world to the Canadian comedy scene, it plays loads of great music and is the home of some of my favourite sports memories. With all that going for it, how could I not love it? But as much as I …

The urge struck us to do some more audio, so here we are. We had a lot of fun doing this one. It started with me not saying go at the right moment. Woops. Welcome to me not being a good record button-pusher. Then we just rambled about the awesome weather, the Blue Jays winning …
