Today, from 1961, the Rod and Charles Show. It was a fast paced, quirky and engaging show hosted by Rod Coneybeare and Charles Winter that became as popular for adults as it did for children.

For 12 years- between 1978 and 1990- CBC Radio’s The Food Show took listeners inside the food business, exploring news and trends in food production, marketing and consumption. Its first host was Jim Wright, a former circus ringmaster. He navigated through the gastronomical gamut as listeners learned all about the food business. From important news, to tips on camel-milking or microwave cooking, The Food Show offered a wealth of information on anything food-related. During this hour we’ll bring you some of the tastiest segments from the show's first season in 1978.

On this edition of Rewind, an hour from the documentary series Project '62. The Project series looked at the pressing social issues of the day- and in this case it was "The Modern Woman." Well, modern circa 1962. In some ways you'll find the program has resonance for our ears- as it grapples with issues of daycare, working women and time constraints. And yet in others- it sounds like the era in which it was made- a Mad Men world. From November 1962, the Modern Woman.

Today the Voice of Canada- Radio Canada International. When it was first established in February 1945, the CBC International Service was intended for broadcast to Canadian Forces overseas. By war's end the radio service was telling the world about Canada in over a dozen languages. Despite budget cuts and critics who accused it of employing communists or operating as a government mouthpiece, the service now called Radio Canada International has persevered. On this show we look back on RCI's six and a half decades of shortwave radio.

Today, the year 1965 on CBC Radio- a sort of portrait in sound of a year. You'll hear music, news, drama and talk that give a flavour of what a CBC listener would hear on a given day in 1965.
