From the WBEZ Blog:

So, we�re trying something new this week on WBEZ. We�re testing out a show on our air and asking you to share your thoughts on it.

Here�s the deal: our friends �up north� at the CBC have a show they think we Americans will love. It�s called �Q�. No, it�s not a call in show with James Bond�s late gadget guru. Rather, it�s a daily arts and culture interview program hosted by Jian Ghomeshi.

Each episode features the well-prepared and conversational Jian interviewing guests like Leonard Cohen, Lily Allen, Woody Allen, Radiohead and Salman Rushdie. You may know �Q� already from their popular podcasts � or from Jian�s infamous interview with the cantankerous Billy Bob Thornton which ignited a flurry of views on You Tube last year. His first guest today: Adam Lambert of American Idol fame. (OK, so you can�t win them all, but you get the idea�)

Anyway, the program has become a huge hit for the CBC, so much so that it�s now the most-listened-to cultural affairs program in the nation.
