The last episode of Spark's second season will air on June 24 & 27, 2009. Thanks to everyone who listened and visited us at here at the blog. Thanks to your support, Spark will be back with new episodes, a new length, and a new timeslot at the beginning of September. In the meantime, Spark production is on hiatus.

So here's our plan for the summer:

Over the air on CBC Radio One, we'll air "encore presentations" of our favourite episodes from the past season. You can hear Spark Tuesdays at 3:00pm (in some parts of the country), and Saturdays at 4:00/4:30 NT. A full list of repeat airdates is below.

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.

And the blog? Much as we love the blog, there are no resources available for maintaining it while we're on hiatus. 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. We'll be back to blogging as soon as we get production underway in mid-August.

Thanks again for listening!
