CBC Radio Show ‘Spin Cycles’ Looks at Politics, PR and Media

by Eric Eggertson on December 1st, 2006

Adding to the Saturday morning political coverage on The House, CBC Radio has announced Spin Cycles, a Sunday morning show about political spin and the media that laps it up. Ira Basen will host. See Inside the CBC.

The Canadian public broadcaster is also renewing Terry O’Reilly and the Art of Persuasion, an excellent look at the way advertising mixes science and art to influence consumers. See my personal blog.
