Re: [Swprograms] CBC Radio specials Dec 24-25

I have to say that I've had the opportunity to sample "Go" two or 
three times and it is thoroughly awful program.  I realize it's an 
attempt to entice a late teens/early twenties audience to public 
radio.  But the effort even falls flat there.  Last week, for example, 
Mr.Bambury spent considerable time asking a female professor at a 
Vancouver university if she realized how "hot" her male students 
thought she was.  This, of course, after asking a number of students 
who the "hottest" instructor on campus was.  Pure nonsense, not to 
mention a topic of questionable judgement.  Certainly not the kind of 
fare one expects to hear from the national public broadcaster.
