WireTap

Jonathan Goldstein, Host

Whether he is arguing with an ex-girlfriend about his lack of style, counselling a friend who’s recently become addicted to eating rabbit food, or trying to give his nephew advice about women, "WireTap" host Jonathan Goldstein gleefully welcomes all eavesdroppers. Each episode of "WireTap" swings back and forth between his monologues and phone chats with a roster of some of the funniest storytellers on the radio today.

The "Toronto Star" describes "WireTap" as "[pitting] the absurd against the plausible. The sense is of a world not completely unlike our own that runs parallel ... conversation, storytelling and introspection, culled from equal parts real-world experience and the warp of Goldstein's imagination" and the "Montreal Gazette" calls the show "something between borscht-belt comedy and Franz Kafka."

"WireTap" was awarded the 2006 Gold World Medal for Best Regularly Scheduled Comedy Program at the New York Festivals.
