Each week, WireTap invites you to eavesdrop on a mix of funny, thoughtful and unpredictable stories and conversations. Whether it's a tale about what it's like to date Lois Lane after she's broken up with Superman, or an interview with a man who works as a ketchup sommelier, you never quite know where WireTap will take you.
The Montreal Gazette calls the show " something between borscht-belt comedy and Franz Kafka" and the Toronto Star describes it 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."
Wiretap won the 2006 Gold Prize for Best Weekly Comedy Program at the New York Festivals and in 2012 received a special mention in the Prix Italia competition for Best Original Radio-Drama.
WireTap is produced by Jonathan Goldstein, with Mira Burt-Wintonick and Cristal Duhaime.
