Patent Pending [Season Six]

This week on WireTap, an automated relationship replacement hotline that helps mend broken hearts. Plus, Howard's friend Gerard tries to get Jonathan to invest in some groundbreaking inventions: A toothpaste dispensing toothbrush, a lie-down toilet, and edible pen tops.

Tune in Saturday at 1:30 p.m. on CBC Radio One or purchase the full episode on iTunes.

And on the podcast this week, Jonathan's radio voice gets 30% sexier. But is a deeper sound really enough to cure his stuttering delivery? It's a classic episode from our archive, A Fresh New Voice. You can right click to download the free mp3.

Subscribe to the free podcast to have each new episode delivered to your computer every week.

Past episodes of WireTap are available for purchase here.

Neighbourhood Watch

We are very pleased to have a story we produced featured on This Amercian Life this week.

It's the story of a father who relies on the help of his neighbours in order to take his baby daughter out on a walk. Actor Daniel Beirne reads an excerpt from Ryan Knighton's book C'mon Papa: Dispatches From a Dad in the Dark.

You can purchase the WireTap episode where this story originally aired, The Little One, on iTunes.

Your Problem is Our Problem: New WireTap Hotline

Hi there, Jonathan Goldstein here. We've recently acquired a sort of "advice line" for listeners to leave their problems-- quandaries that are of a professional, personal, or romantic nature. The idea is to then convene a round table of Wiretap regulars and try to offer some help.

We have no idea how this will go. As anyone who listens to the show knows, we're not exactly the wisest. Or the best listeners. Really, this could be a disaster. But it could also be interesting. Anyway, if you feel like taking a chance, we'd be really appreciative. Actually, just hearing from you and knowing you're out there would be pretty nice, too.

So if you have something you want to get off your chest, please call our toll free number, 1-877-659-1774, and thanks again for helping out.
