Really upset to recently learn that Spark with Nora Young has been cancelled by the CBC, ending in June 2024. (Announcement episode)
One of the most intelligent, progressive technology-in-society news shows in Canada or anywhere for that matter.
Perhaps that it’s medium is radio and CBC execs are coached that they should lean elsewhere but this really stings to someone that promoted the values of this public resource. A real loss for Candians and the CBC.
I’m sure there may be some analytics of podcast downloads or something to back the end of this smart, timely subject matter but what effort was ever used to promote it?
The content is timeless and I hope it remains available for years to come because of the amazing guest interviews, Thank you and all the best in the future Nora.
