Notes:
[1984?]-06-15 CBC radio host on the second side mentions that Michael Ondaatje reads one of his recent book; since the book was published in 1984, we thought it could be the year when this program was broadcasted.

The quality of tape improves from 20:46 on the first side and to 18:09 on the second side. The first 20 minutes of side one and the remaining time after 18:09 on side two belong to the same CBC program which is mostly about Cabaret.
