CBC Realtime
May 31st 1997

On Saturday May 31st, the CBC Stereo Network presented the Canadian premiere of the Gary Numan tribute album "Random" on their now-defunct Realtime show, hosted by Leora Kornfeld.

This page outlines briefly what happened on that show and allows you to listen to the entire broadcast via RealAudio, which should begin playing automatically in just a few seconds. If you would prefer to jump ahead to a particular segment of the show, simply scroll down and PLAY NOW or DOWNLOAD the segment you wish to hear. All of the RealAudio content here should play in real time (no pun intended) just fine, even on a 14.4K modem.

If you can identify any of the callers to the show (ie: if it was you or someone you know), please let me know as I'd like to try to identify everybody on this list. Those who have been positively identified in the list below appear in YELLOW text.
