Hear the first four episodes ever broadcast, hosted by David Suzuki from the CBC Digital Archives....
Is science just a subject for academics and geeks? Not according to the CBC Radio program Quirks & Quarks. When it debuted in 1975, Quirks set out to show Canadians that science is exciting, interesting and relevant to our daily lives -- and the program has pursued that same goal ever since. The first host of the show was outspoken geneticist David Suzuki, at the helm from 1975 to 1979. Jay Ingram hosted from 1979 to 1991, and Bob McDonald has been host since 1992. The CBC Digital Archives features the first four entire episodes from the program's inaugural year of 1975, plus a broad selection of shorter clips from throughout the show's history.

Big Picture TV looks at global problems in a broadly positive context. Challenges such as climate change, species loss, poverty and the proliferation of nuclear arms are sadly all too familiar – but they represent only part of the story. The other part is about solutions – recognising that the crises we face bring with them unparalleled opportunities to rethink, innovate and progress. Our informational videos allow you to hear directly from today’s leading thinkers and innovators.
Big Picture TV is a fully independent video channel offering solution-oriented commentary on the critical issues of our time. A distinguished advisory board helps to shape our video archive and to identify relevant authorities. Big Picture TV offers these authorities a media platform where they can share their views and ideas with a growing international audience.
The depth of their knowledge and experience gives our contributing speakers the ability to examine the causes of societal or environmental problems and point to practical solutions. Certain speakers have expertise in a specialist field or are active in the support of a particular project or campaign. Others address the big picture by stressing cross-sector or inter-disciplinary connections. All of our contributors, however, offer insight and analysis that is accessible to viewers of all ages.
