    I am a big fan of What on Earth - love the staff and that it’s on CBC. The re-freezing arctic ice piece was interesting and inciteful and re-hearing Patti Gonia’s interview was beautiful and also timely as I’ve just discovered Yo Yo Ma’s new podcast with WNYC Our Common Nature - maybe you’ve already got him lined up for future episode - keep up the great work.
