Snivels and sniffers

Recently, Mark Blevis was lamenting the decline of our local CBC Radio One offerings here in Ottawa which prompted me to comment thusly (sorry for quoting myself):

“It really seems that CBC programming is being polarized. There’s still smart, interesting stuff like the O’Reilly show, Quirks and Quarks, Dispatches, and of course Ideas, and then there are shows which are being deliberately dumbed-down; the morning and afternoon drive shows, and by my reckoning, one of the worst national programmes on CBC radio: Definitely Not the Opera. Since Nora Young and Co.’s departure it’s like fingernails on a chalkboard. I mean how many times can you start an interview with, “So, hey, like, I’m talking to …”.

Anyway, all that to say, if like me, you miss Nora Young and Cathi Bond as they were on DNTO, check out their podcast, The Sniffer [RSS].
