Does anyone remember a group called "Touch and Goes" with a song called "Christopher"?They may be from BC. I heard on David Wisdom's show "Nightline" in the 90's and have it on tape. They seem to have vanished without a trace

This morning instead of the familiar nasal whine of Geo Cummings that we all know and love, there was some guy literally whispering the news. The volume difference between him and the clips only made it more drastic and hilarious.

Haven't laughed this hard at a CBC news briefing since "omocroms" from a few years ago. Love you guys!!

I’ve only been to the one taped for radio. It’s pretty clean. Wondering if it’s safe to bring the parents to the other shows they have

The three clues were:

1. The year that the A-Team premiered on television
2. The year that baby Jessica got stuck in the well
3. The year that the song Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley was released

The answer, listeners were told, is 1987 but I knew that the A-Team was early 80’s and that the Rick Astley song and baby Jessica were mid to late 80’s.

I was so invested that I googled it when I got to work and yeah, sure enough, the A-Team was released in 1983.

Get it together guys.

Hi y'all, I've really gotten into CBC Marketplaces, and I was wondering where can I find and watch old CBC Marketplaces Season 1-31? On CBC gem, and on the Internet I was only able to find clips from older seasons, but was not able to.find full seasons

I was a little skeptical about this based on the title.

The Massey lectures have provided some of the most engaging radio content I've encountered. Some of that content has lingered with me for years and years. Margret Atwood, Wade Davis, Stephen Lewis, Thomas King, Jean Vanier, are examples.

Still need to finish Ep 5, but this year is resonating for me in a way that the Masseys haven't in some time. Not that there haven't been interesting ones in recent years. Just feels like this one is exceptional for confronting a big aspect of our zeitgeist with a nice mix of creativity, soul searching, and real talk.

List of Questions regarding Trump’s election and potential repercussions on Canada and Canadians. 

1. If Trump decides he wants to annex Canada for our drinking water, or for our arctic defences or just because he feels like it and there are 330 million Americans and barely 40 millions of us and Canada is so vast and Americans think America is full. What happens if Trump announces his plan to invade Canada overnight? 

2. Since we are part of the Commonwealth, will the King and the members of the commonwealth come to Canada’s’ aide? What is the monarchy’s role if one of our allies wages war on us? 

3. If Trump leaves NATO, can he then invade Canada? Will NATO countries come to our help? 

4. What is the state of the Canadian Military? What is the state of CSIS? What is our contractual relationship with The 5 Eyes if one of them goes full Hitler? 

5. What if Trump lets Russia take Ukraine, and NK take South Korea, and China take Taiwan and Israel take part of the middle east and THEN decides to wage war on the middle east? Will Canada join? Will it be optional? 

6. How can Canadians protect themselves for what is to come?How can we prepare for a far-right shift that is globally, nationally, regionally, municipally and personally arising from the US and other right leaning countries deciding to vote to enact a fascist state? How do we as Canadians prepare for the worst, assuming the worst has already happened? 

Is there such a thing as a vocal fry filter and if so, could the cbc install one for the millennials that get interviewed on Q and Commotion?

Anyone else stop listening to CBC Radio because of the almost non stop US news about Trump. Seems like I can't listen to 10 minutes without some reference to him. Barf!

Today's Front Burner Podcast she decides to interview another journalist, David Pugliese, about the Deschênes Commission rather than any one of the dozens of Canadian scholars on WW2/Eastern Europe. She doesn't challenge him or reign (or rein as has been pointed out) in his talking points which drift rather far from Archives Canada's recent decision but instead allows him to hit all the usual Russian propaganda talking points: Chrystia Freeland, the U of A, the Ukrainian Canadian Congress. It was an absolute career low for Jayme. I bet she's glad we live in a post-shame culture.

In the Maritmes, couldn't go to a local ceremony, so figured I'd listen to the Halifax one on Radio One. 10 minutes into it, they switched to Commotion. Tried to find the live stream in their app, all I get is it'll be available on demand. Not actually streaming in the app at the moment. FFS, who that that was a good idea?

I'm in Toronto. I have Bell Fibe TV and an Amazon Fire TV Stick.

I'd like to listen to Radio One through my TV.

I know it's on Channel 956 on Bell, but I'd have to upgrade my TV channel package that adds over a hundred stations, and I'd rather not spend that money to listen to one radio station. I don't watch the channels I already have.

I have the CBC Gem app on both Fibe TV and the Fire Stick, but it doesn't have the Radio Stations (why not?)

There is the CBC Listen App, but it doesn't appear to be in the Bell Fibe Google Play Store nor the Fire TV App Store.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I'm confused by the CBC's decision to turn off commenting on Youtube videos, by an organization that is supported to be a source of honest, real and open discussion. I think you are making a huge mistake, open discussion is what made you of higher consciousness and expression and your ending any kind of conversation seems like you just ended your superpower, nothing makes you special if we cannot talk about things.

I listen to the CBC World News every morning on Alexa. And every single time, Joe Cummings fumbles the words and makes a mistake. It's become a game now. I can reliably wait for him to make a mistake. It's shocking because he only needs to read for a couple of mins. And yet every single day he makes at least one mistake. How is he still employed as a news broadcast?? It is embarrassing for CBC. Can't they find anyone else to read for 2mins without making a mistake? Anyone else notice this?

Shouldn’t we as taxpayers who fund the CBC be allowed to give feedback to news stories?

I know the CBC stopped the feedback portion that trailed a news items because comments were getting abusive etc.

But other forums like Cross Country Checkup and Ontario Today get moderated if comments are abusive or off topic, so why can’t we have an online forum to comment?

Perhaps some guidelines need to be set up. Limit on length of comments. Can only comment on a story within 48 hours of its’ release. What does the BBC do over in England?

Not allowing public comments adds more fuel to the political campaign to defund the CBC. Such a development would harm the broadcasting world and our communities.

People need to be heard. CBC, please give us our forums back.

I joined halfway through the spot on Ottawa morning and heard Robyn Bresnahan is stepping down as host. I think she is maintaining the podcast but wondered if she is doing anything else?

Did anyone fact check the CBC Radio Ideas report on leaf blowers and the environment that played on CBC Radio today in Saskatoon?

The whole report conflates CO2 emissions with noise pollution, talking as though they were the same thing. Hot take, they're not.

It goes on to claim that an F150 Raptor is the biggest truck you can get when comparing driving one to running a leaf blower. This will be news to 3/4 and 1ton trucks like F350 and F450's all over the continent. Completely confused what a 2 stroke engine is. They claim that all leaf blowers, lawn mowers, and any engine with a pull start is 2 stroke and dirtier than driving a vehicle long distances. Nevermind that most lawnmowers have been 4 stroke pull starts for over a decade - and the ones that aren't are usually electric... No wonder, the one paper they rely on for all this info is from 2011...

This sort of garbage reporting is what keeps moderates skeptical about what's going on with the environment. It's clear that Ideas is now a climate change show, but does it have to be a propagandist climate change show? I mean, there are actual facts that you can rely on without spreading garbage information. Pretty biased for a publicly funded broadcaster. Super disappointed.

Can we start a "Trump" counter for this show? I get that American politics effect us in Canada, and he's going to come up. But it seems like every day, at least one segment is about Trump. Today in the introduction, I think I heard his name 4 times. Come on, are there no interesting things happening in Canadian politics?

I’m interested in applying for the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) through the Employer Job Offer stream. I recently received a job offer from CBC and am considering joining them, but only if they agree to sign the employer form required for the OINP application. Has anyone here successfully secured OINP with CBC as the employer? I would appreciate any insights or experiences you can share.

Has anyone had experience with the CBC pension plan after leaving the company? CBC has given me the option to either contribute to the pension or receive extra cash in lieu of it. Since I don’t plan to stay with them for more than three years, I’m trying to determine if it’s worth contributing or not. I’m in my thirties and considering cashing out after leaving, as that’s an option. I’d appreciate hearing from anyone with experience on this and what your recommendations might be.

Anyone know when the next season of Someone Knows Something by David Ridgen comes back?

Can it just be me? Anybody else?

Moto G Power running Android 14.

Who does the programming?

We are starting the morning with a report of a shooting at a Jewish school. Following that a discussion about a 13 year old in Kelowna violently attacked by multiple people.

These are important issues that we need to talk about but fuck. Do we really need to start our Sunday morning depressed? We haven’t even started the day and the first think we are thinking about is depressing horrible shit.

Why does cbc do this so much?

A year later and they are still trotting out the same BS that Isreal is “trying to eliminate Hamas” and “has a right to defend itself. Absolute garbage coverage, and it leads virtually every news break.

Was listening to The House on CBC radio yesterday morning. What the heck? The HOC is currently shut down on government business until they release incriminating documents to …. ITSELF. A massive scandal being buried by the LPC NOT A WORD ABOUT THIS ON CANADA’s PREMIER POLITICS SHOW. This is a slap on the face to politically informed Canadians. In the CBC trying to commit suicide?

Tariq’s afterdark is miles above o-Radio’s. One gets the sense that o-Roboto neither likes nor even listens to the satellite radio playlist that he plays. Generic Odario filler: “Aw, yeah. Just how we all feel: [insert lyric from album liner or lyric search]. Humans, like we totally are, really get those feels.” Tariq’s playlist reminds me so much more of the well-missed Laurie Brown’s contemporary ear-bending sound. Considering that Odario is so obviously already canned, recording his entire set in about nine minutes of terrible filler, I would love to hear the mothership actually can him to have Tariq provide that brilliant sound eight nights per week.

The CBC has been, and forgive me here, shitting the proverbial bed when it comes to the promotion of interesting contemporary artists. Odario plays some, but it comes after a long transition, like Shift, out of r&b and rap and pop to eventually land on some excellent new sounds before signing off for nightstream (which is near the only place I can turn for the introduction to stellar Canadian artists, and presumably shouldn’t be as something of a ghostship in the night). Short of resurrecting the Signal, which I regretfully admit after years of coming to terms is an impossibility, perhaps our Corporate Broadcaster could fatten Tariq until like a vicious gosling the better afterdark takes over the timeslot and even those useless bits on either side of it.

Just a thought. And, if the mothership is listening, I’m not sure whether Tariq has an alternate musical producer or whatever it is in the secret sauce, but more please and forever.

People are tragically disappointed by the CBC’s efforts to branch out to cradle all of the ‘disenfranchised.’ The bough has broken. It’s time to promote musical excellence again. Combat the Conservative defund campaign by knocking the raw asses off your listenership, with sound.
