This is an unofficial fan blog celebrating the most promising words you’ll hear on the radio: “You’re listening to Wiretap with Jonathan Goldstein.”

Wiretap features telephone conversations between Jonathan Goldstein (regular contributor This American Life and author of Lenny Bruce is Dead) and his friends Joshua Karpati, Gregor Ehrlich and Howard Chackowicz with appearances from his family, Buzz and Dyna Goldstein, Heather O’Neill and Arizona “ZouZou” O’Neill as well as other regular guests such as David Rakoff, Shalom Auslander and Jorge Just. The content is part fiction, part improv, part heartbreaking, part hilarious, part frivolous, part profound and pretty much amazing all around.

From CBC.ca:

Broadcast times:

Radio One: Sundays at 1 p.m. (1:30 NT, 4 Pacific) and Wednesdays at 11:30 p.m. (12 a.m. NT).
