It’s official. After 5 seasons of sitting beside the radio with your finger on the record button, WireTap has finally left the stone ages. Subscribe to our brand new podcast and listen at your convenience!

But whether you’re tuning in old school or new school, be sure to check out the premiere of Season 6, this Saturday at 1:30pm on CBC Radio One.

WireTap is finally streaming its episodes online! We will be uploading the back log of shows over the course of the next month, so soon you’ll be able to listen to all your favourites directly from our site. Check out the archive to get started… or check out some of my personal favourites below:

Never Say I Love You

This week on WireTap, tune in for advice from Starlee Kine on how to get over a bad break up. Plus, Jonathan reads his story "You call that Love", Howard confesses his true feelings for Jonathan, and a selection of short notes to people we have loved from dearoldlove.com.

Where Do Babies Come From and Where Do Babies Go?

Ever wondered if you were delivered by a stork as a baby, or dug up from a cabbage patch? On WireTap this week, a lesson in human reproduction as award-winning author Heather O’Neill reads her short story "Where Babies Come From". Plus, Howard takes house sitting to a whole new level.

WireTap has a new video up promoting Jonathan Goldstein’s new book ‘Ladies and Gentlemen: The Bible’.

Check it out!

You may have heard tell that This American Life is producing a TV show. It’s premiering on Showtime in just a few weeks, on March 22 to be exact, but you can already check out the trailer. For those of us who don’t watch TV, it seems like it will most definately be worth Torrenting. I just hope they don’t get too distracted from their radio making.

but do go see him starring in this new movie with daniel johnston.

spam is getting so poetic these days, I almost enjoy it:

mildew
solitary confinement
experimentation time zone,
ammo overshot
the approachable, antenna
idiosyncratic waiting room undue
junior college in windchill factor
likable on experienced
as normal dissident.

liberal arts thimble
apparition was
unveil to repugnant and
increase voluntarily.
was Resurrection.

but then again, the next one from a certain Ronald Stark begins: “Take just a candy and become ready for 36 hours of love”.

so I know it’s all I talk about these days, but if you’re into technicolor dream coats, then check out this flash animation by Gregor Ehrlich, cut to a telling of Joseph’s famous bible story by Jonathan Goldstein.

just a heads up that jer is busy spiffying up my blog so there may be some discordant design for the next little while.
