Summary: For the past twelve years, contributing editor and host Allan Gregg has had in-depth conversations with some of the world's most prominent authors, artists, and cutting-edge thinkers.

Wilson, our show endeavours to reach beyond the headlines to explore the forces that create the news," says Gregg. By investigating not merely the whats of current affairs but also the whys, Allan Gregg in Conversation tries to give viewers a context in which to understand the world around them.
