As It Happens

As It Happens

CBC

News that’s not afraid of fun. Meet people at the centre of the day’s most hard-hitting, hilarious and heartbreaking stories — powerful leaders, proud eccentrics and ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. And plenty of puns too. Hosted by Nil Köksal and Chris Howden, find out why As It Happens is one of Canada’s longest-running and most beloved shows. (Ahem, we literally helped make the beaver a national symbol.)


New episodes Monday to Friday by 7:30 pm E.T.

Listen to the last episode:

A former advisor to Stephen Harper's government concedes things are not going great for the Conservatives under Pierre Poilievre -- but he says MPs need to fix the party from within rather than cross the floor. 


The mayor of Sarnia, Ontario says some constituents feel betrayed by Marilyn Gladu's defection to the Liberal government -- and the only solution is a byelection. 


A Manitoba First Nations Chief describes the suicide crisis unfolding around her -- and what it will take to stop it.


A small town in north west England is plagued by an overwhelming stench from a nearby landfill that residents say is not complying with environmental regulations.


A man spent years building a precise replica of the Orca, from "Jaws". He says it's a dream come true -- with a touch of nightmare. 


You might think it's fun to add emojis to your work emails, but your colleagues may not agree -- according to a new study that looks at the big picture in terms of small pictures.


As It Happens, the Friday Edition. Radio that knows a laughing emoji can drive you up the LOL.
