Peter Gzowski: talking 'sexy water' on Radio Free Friday

For three hours a day, five days a week – for 15 years – millions tuned in to CBC Radio's Morningside and Peter Gzowski. Despite Gzowski's dishevelled appearance, this beloved radio host cast his folksy charm across the country. When Gzowski died in 2002, Canadians paid tribute to the broadcaster whose stammering informality and comforting voice had become a symbol for Canada.

Gzowski interviews Moses Znaimer about a "potent" water from Yugoslavia.
Medium: Radio
Program: Radio Free Friday
Broadcast Date: April 11, 1969
