CBC Radio | As It Happens

Listening to as it happens is like taking a trip around the world five nights a week. For more than 30 years, using the simplest of tools - the telephone - this current affairs program has explored the heart of a story, whether it's happening in the streets of Belgrade, the dockyards of Vancouver, the boardrooms of Bay Street, or the kitchens of Paris.
