AS IF
Monday: 11:30 am - Noon

AND SOMETIMES Y
Tuesday: 7:30 – 8:00 pm
Saturday: 11:30 am - Noon
Host: Russell Smith
Originating from Toronto
As shelves sag with unused dictionaries, and teens and advertisers invent most of the new words, the question must be asked - do the old rules of language and grammar matter any more? Russell Smith takes a whimsical and provocative look at how our language is fairing and failing under the strains of contemporary living.
TEN TIMES TABLE
Saturday: 9:30 -10:00 am
Host: Bill Richardson
Originating from Vancouver
In Ten Times Table, Bill Richardson builds the ideal Saturday morning brunch, one guest at a time. In weeks one through nine, you’ll hear Bill in conversation one on one, with each individual: an explorer, a scientist, a musician, a poet, an athlete; someone with a big worldview and ideas to share. In the tenth week, through the artful connivance called editing, all nine of these dynamos will join Bill at his table for a go-round that would probably never happen in the real world. Fact meets fiction and virtual sparks fly on Ten Times Table.
