Podcast Description
Canada Reads celebrates five Canadian books for three months online, at public events and on air. It all leads up to a week-long show hosted by Jian Ghomeshi. In this annual title fight, five celebrity panelists defend their favourite work of Canadian fiction. One by one, books are voted off the list, until one panelist triumphs with the book for Canada to read this year.

Customer Reviews
Canada Reads: The Best Laid Plans
I found the first eleven podcasts to be intelligent, knowledgeable and humorous.
I am now downloading the rest which I expect will continue to provide excellent entertainment.
Terry Fallis deserved to win the Canada Reads honours. Great book, Terry!
Canada Reads "The Best Laid Plans"
Both the book and the format of the podcast are excellent and I've enjoyed both!

Is there a reason why I can not download this episode. All other episodes were O.K.
Many Thanks
