I would like to down load the episodes that feature the readings of Best Laid Plans, but can only find the readings of 'Something Fierce' (which I enjoyed). Is there an archive of podcasts where I could retrieve Best Laid Plans? Thanks

Really dumb how a tax funded mega company like CBC can’t have ALL episodes of Canada Reads available on this podcast. Why only the most current season? What if I wanted to listen to last years? Why does CBC gladly take government money and offer nothing in return.

I found the first eleven podcasts to be intelligent, knowledgeable and humorous. I am now downloading the rest which I expect will continue to provide excellent entertainment. Terry Fallis deserved to win the Canada Reads honours. Great book, Terry!

Is there a reason why I can not download this episode. All other episodes were O.K. Many Thanks
