Don Harron’s Morningside

It's the best offer you'll get today, Canadians were told after Don Harron took over as Morningside host in 1977. Every weekday morning for the next five years Harron set out to prove Canadians are not dull. His sharp wit drove the light and lively three-hour show – a mix of politics, entertainment and culture. Regular contributors included Jay Ingram on science, Lister Sinclair on classical music and Stephen Freygood on shortwave radio.
