Jonathan Goldstein's Wiretap is one of the most intriguing programs on all of CBC Radio. It combines fiction with reality, humour with philosophic musings, and phone conversations with monologue reflections. But above all, each Wiretap episode is a fascinating thirty minute meditation into life and its absurdities, and a glimpse into the thought-filled mind of host Jonathan Goldstein.  We speak to Jonathan about his life as a writer, his beginnings in radio, and the advantages and drawbacks of experiencing life with an outsider's perspective.

Wade Rowland is an author, journalist, and university professor who has written a book called Saving the CBC: Balancing Profit and Public Service.
