50 Years of As It Happens

As It Happens began with a simple premise in 1968: so many other radio shows relied on a call-in format, but what if we called out?

It enabled the program to interview people across the country and around the world, just by dialing a number: Canadian and world leaders, regular people in extraordinary circumstances, and proud eccentrics of all kinds.

Over the last five decades, As It Happens has been there, bringing you the voices at the heart of the stories that have shaped history — and having a few laughs along the way.
