A while ago, we did a radio story that seemed to have stuck with people. In the mean time, we have something for you. We're going to pop in, too, to let you know about new projects- and there are some exciting ones in store. We're going to keep our Facebook page going so you guys have a place to hang out and talk about shows, to talk about life.

I guess I also just want to let you know I'm not that big a sad sack (though I am still a medium-sized sad sack).ДЄlso, all of us at WireTap want to stay in touch. Which is to say, I thought this stuff was funny. As the show continued from the early seasons they began to write stories and shape the show, mixing, editing, dreaming up schemes that made it better and better, and I can't wait to hear what they do next.ДЄnd here's a glimpse behind the curtain: We edited out a lot of my laughter. And Mira Burt-Wintonick, my lead producer/show partner, and Cristal Duhaime made all of them, and me, sound better than anyone ever could. Howard Chackowicz, Gregor Ehrlich, Buzz and Dina, Josh, Tucker, the late David RakoffВ - the list goes on and on, but these were the voices I heard in my head when I was dreaming it all up in bed at night. If you're lucky in life you might get to work with people who make you better than you are, and I had that good fortune, gifted with the most talented people you can imagine. Each episode was fuelled by a wish to connect with you. I never stopped feeling grateful to get to be on the radio each week and never stopped being nervous about it. Still amazes me that the CBC gave me the chance. 'My idea is basically a show that would involve telephone conversationsВ - natural, conversationalВ - some amount of writing.' It was in an old Yahoo account I hardly use anymore and was dated December, 2003. I just spent the past hour trying to find my initial email to the CBC. It's funny that something with such big ambitions started off with such a poor pitch. I wanted to make something that was weird and complicated in the way I knew life to be. I wanted to make something that felt different than everything else I was hearing on the radio, something that felt funny and real, that didn't shy away from the big questions ('why are we here?'), but still had room for the smaller questions ('why does this pork pie hat make my ass look fat?'). I wanted to create a place where we could hang out together and like-minded people could join us. It started from a simple desire to share the funny, smart people in my life with all of you. It's run longer than I, or anyone, could have ever imagined. The show has run longer than Seinfeld and All in the Family. The reasons for this are many, but the simplest way to put it is that 11 years is a long time to do something and it felt like time to try something new. This is a hard, sad thing to announce, but WireTap is coming to an end.
