Just a tad…

Beyond my love for the CBC, I just love my Toronto Public Library system. Public access to public discussion. After finding and posting Malcom Gladwell’s interviews I searched to see if this discussion was captured because I had missed getting out to see it live. Happy it was. Next, I’d like to see a discussion about the present and future of CBC Music.
