Ever since CBC canned my favourite radio host I’ve been searching for his email address in order to tell him how much I loved Studio sparks. Radio Two is not worth listening to anymore. Where is Eric Friesen?
It is particularl painful now that I no longer work and have all the time in the world to listen to what used to be the best classical music station in the world.
