The Voice

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rMslade () shaw ca>]

CBC is our national broadcaster in Canada.  "The Current" is a morning radio 
program of current affairs and short documentaries.  It starts off with a short 
piece of satire, usually politically based, of a news item, with a short (usually one 
line) commentary added.  The identity of the person who reads this (with his 
voice digitally altered) is not widely known, he is simply known as "The Voice."

I've recently looked into the archives for the show, and they go back to the 
program's inception, as does The Voice.  Most of the shows have Real Audio clips, 
including most of the pieces from The Voice.

The archives are at http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/logs.html.

Here are some examples:

The Current for Show December 9, 2002 

It's Monday December 9th, a day of full disclosure in Baghdad.

This past weekend Iraq finally submitted a report to the UN Security Council that 
detailed the full extent of its weapon's program. Though Iraq denied it had any 
Weapons of Mass Destruction, it did admit to be in the possession of quite a few 
"Weapons of Mild Irritation". Currently, the Iraqi arsenal includes one Polaroid of 
Saddam Hussein in leather chaps and cod-piece, thousands of jars of way-too-tart 
marmalade, and an entire battalion of small moustachioed men with wet fingers 
ready to stick in people's ears.

The Current for Show December 10, 2002 

It's Tuesday December 10th, and Brian Mulroney and George Bush Sr. are both in 
Washington to mark the 10th anniversary of NAFTA.  

The traditional 10-year anniversary gift between trade partners is tin.  

Currently, American officials are planning a 300% anti-dumping tariff on 
Canadian tin imports and a flat-out embargo on those Roots Aspin Bomber  
jackets. Happy Anniversary!
