Every weekday morning, producers Marc Affeld and Joe Burima air the radio series Today in Canadian History from the CJSW 90.9FM studio in Calgary. Marc and Joe interview authors, professors, historians and other experts to share a piece of timely Canadian history with their listeners. The episodes are short (under 10 minutes), the conversations are engaging and the histories are varied and thoughtful.

There are over 200 archived episodes available on their website, TodayInCanadianHistory.ca, or downloadable as podcasts from iTunes. A great way to bring the experts into your classroom!
