The Faces Behind the Voices
Every December for as long as Torontoist can remember the holidays have been marked by a certain Friday morning when CBC’s Metro Morning (our must-listen morning radio since childhood) just doesn’t quite sound the same. The strange echo and laughter of a live audience can only mean one thing: we’ve missed the CBC’s holiday open house yet again. Every year we swear that we’ll haul our cookies down to Front Street to meet the voices that wake us up every morning, and every year we forget until it’s too late.
Well, we haven’t missed it yet this year. Tomorrow morning, bright and very early, Metro Morning is broadcasting live from the Glenn Gould Studio from 6 to 8:30 in the morning. Andy Barrie has been promising all kinds of awesome musical guests all week, and sports guy Kevin Sylvester and traffic guy Jim Curran will be auctioning off a linocut and a stained glass window, respectively, to raise money for the Daily Bread Food Bank.
Doors open at the ungodly hour of 5:30, and admission is free if you come with a donation of unperishable food for the food bank or a new unwrapped toy for the Toronto Firefighter’s Toy Drive.
