75th Drama- podcast | The history of drama on CBC Radio with Micahel Enright and his guest host Eric Peterson. In its early days, CBC’s national and regional drama series were the primary showcase for the best of both home-grown and international drama.

In fact, CBC drama was our national theatre for many years, as professional theatre wasn’t really established in Canada until the mid 50s.

75th- Aboriginal- podcast | An hour that traces the changes in how society and CBC Radio has covered issues about and of concern to aboriginal people. Michael Enright's co-host is Darrell Dennis, a native actor, writer and host of CBC Radio's ReVision Quest. The coverage of aboriginal issues on CBC Radio in many ways mirrors the attitudes and beliefs of Canadian society. On the one hand there was fascination with what was seen as an exotic way of life; on the other an assumption of dysfunction. And underlying it all was a belief that given enough time, aboriginal people would be absorbed and integrated into the larger society. | 10/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
