CBC Radio's Eleanor Wachtel Is Retiring

I guess it had to happen sooner or later. After all, she is 75 and has been doing this for 30 years. She hosted one of my favourite radio programs. She is a skilled interviewer and has interviewed many truly interesting writers. Your thoughts.

One of my favorite interviews is with the hilarious Irish writer Nuala O'Faolain.

I hope the CBC keeps Eleanor's podcasts available online for a long time but I doubt it.

Right R2. Because looks are the most important thing, not intelligence and talent.

Jonathan Franzen was another good interview.

Oh well. Eleanor is retiring and no one cares. Meanwhile beached whale Honey Boo Boo gets 177 posts.
