The CBC must have an archive of several hundred complete editions of Basic Black my all-time favorite radio program. What are the chances that they will be made available for fans to hear again? Thanks

Hi Barry,
There are indeed stacks of great Basic Black episodes available. Unfortunately they contain lots of material protected by copyright, so we can't put up whole shows. But let us know your favourite segments, and we'll see what we can do! Cheers.
