Sometimes it just blows me away.  I searched for Rob Canoe.  It's what it sounded like to me when he said on air, "Howdydo.  I'm Wab Kinew.  Welcome to Q"  Google found him for me on Wikipedia.  Turns out that the guy's name is Wab Kinew. 

The CBC is full of good people who's names I can't figure out.  There was Jian Ghomeshi who they dumped because he couldn't keep his pants, mouth, and ego zipped.  There is one whose name sounds like it's spelled Pia Chattapi.  There's another on the air who can be quite good whose name I haven't heard enough to attempt.  He calls himself "Shad" to make it easier on me to find if I decide he's worth the bother.
Always move forward. Never look back.

They're interviewers that work for the CBC.  I appreciate a really good interview more than most folks, I think.  A good interview is more that a Q and A session.  The CBC has better people than NPR, IMO.  Ghomshi was without peer but the CBC had to fire him.  The other ones I mentioned have hosted his program "Q" since he left.
