Nora Young has a love hate relationship with technology, culture, and armchair sociology, which she pursues on CBC Radio, on television, in print, and online.
Nora started with CBC as the founding host and a producer of Definitely Not the Opera, where she was a frequent commenter on technology and popular culture. She creates miniseries and documentaries for shows such as Ideas.
Two outstanding recent interviews – Change Camp and the game for PS3 "Flower." Both reflect values I believe are vital to human survival.

Hi Nora…Great segment on "Twitter" that you participated in with Fred Langdon on NewsWorld this Friday (Feb.13, 2009). Fred pointed out that Twitter just may be a complete waste of time. After several discussions about the internet, I am convinced that there is a distinct generational gap between those who view internet-based communications as important and those who think its a waste of time. It reminds me of the condescending giggle some of my elderly relatives give me when I send emails from my Apple MacBook. They are not sold on the need for cell phones let alone emails. Every generation has its tools of choice.
Yup. Beautiful… Amazing. And the show's pretty good too.
She's absolutely awesome. Can't we just get more technology-interested women like her on TV? Please…
Nora Young has the best voice for radio I have ever heard! Her voice has the qualities of an exquisite wine with a rich seductiveness, but also resonates confidence and authority. I could listen to her say anything, even reading the back of a shampoo bottle.
Spark is a wonderful show. I am so glad to be able to hear Nora's dulcet tones on a regular basis once more.
