First thing they could do is change the theme song -- ripping off Edwin
Starr's "25 Miles" for a theme doesn't do anything to make the show more
listenable.


No way. The theme has to stay after these many years. This has been the
theme throughout the shows 30 or so years' history. I like the hosts, and
their approach to interviews. Some of the stories are certainly fluffy,
and some are very poignant.

I like the program, and I like "Fresh Air" too. But there's something
about that As It Happens theme that's just jarring -- Dah DAAAHHH, dut
dut DAAAHHHHH, dut dut DUUHHHH! Always seems out of place, to my ears.
