We must not accept the increasing drivel that is called progressive programming on the CBC these days (as a CBC brat, I should be more loyal, but I just can't be...), but aside from Choral Concert and The Opera, the other fine offering for thinking minds is Tapestry, the religious affairs program on CBC Radio 1, Sundays at 2pm (http://www.cbc.ca/tapestry/). (Oh, and Quirks and Quarks gets a shout-out, too). While the hosts have changed over the years, the show's integrity and quality of content has remained excellent. They interview everyone from Harold S. Kushner (When Bad Things Happen to Good People) to John Shelby Spong, and cover all world religions, belief models and ethics. Kind of like Ideas, only about faith.
Preston Manning is hosting a new format radio program called This I Believe, which I hope to hear and report back to you on, but for now, feast your ears and mind on this cornucopia of concepts whenever possible. I have never been tempted to turn off one of their discussions.
