The final episode of Spark’s third season aired on June 26, 27, and 29. Thanks to everyone who listened and visited us at here at the blog. Spark will be back with new episodes after Labour Day. In the meantime, Spark production is on hiatus.
So here’s our plan for the summer:
On the radio, we’ll air “encore presentations” of our favourite episodes from the past season. A full list of repeat airdates is below. You can hear Spark:
- Sunday afternoons on CBC Radio One at 1:05/1:35 NT (4:05 PT)
- Tuesday afternoons on CBC Radio One at 3:05/3:35 NT
You can also listen to Spark over the air on Vermont Public Radio and Puget Sound Public Radio.
If you subscribe to the Spark podcast, please stay subscribed. Each week we’ll feature a different, long-form interview or panel. They’ll come out on Wednesdays, as usual. For a full list, see below.
If you’d like to leave a story idea for next season, we’d love to read what you have to say. Leave a comment below, or contact us by phone, Twitter, or email. Thanks again for listening!

I am continuing to stay subscribed to the spark plus podcast. Please let me know if I should be getting the summer repeats as well, or if there is something wrong with my podcast client. Thank you, and I LOVE the show!
Nope, there’s nothing wrong with the Spark Plus Podcast. Since all of the extended summer interviews originally went out on Spark Plus, we’re not repeating them there. If you’d like to get the summer repeats, you can subscribe to the regular Spark podcast: http://feeds.feedburner.com/cbcradiospark
