Customer Reviews
The way it’s done
Spark is CBC at it’s best, and it used to be more like this. Cracking and insightful, entertaining and well paced. Nora is one of our broadcasting treasures.
Butterfly Effect series
I am used to Spark being a wonderful and engaging listen, but the first episode of this long-form look at the effects of integrated circuits was a joy from moment to moment.
