Bunny Watson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bunny Watson was a Canadian radio program, which aired Saturday evenings on CBC Radio One and Sunday evenings on CBC Radio Two.
Named for Katharine Hepburn's librarian character in the movie Desk Set, the show was hosted by Bill Richardson and was produced by Jennifer Van Evra and Tod Elvidge in Vancouver. Inspired by the Hepburn character's quote that she "associates many things with many things", Richardson explored a particular theme each week through his personal associations with music, literature and film.
The show first aired in the fall of 2004. In one of the show's most notable episodes, on October 2, 2004, the poet and performance artist Meryn Cadell came out as transgendered.
The program is not currently airing on the full CBC network, although it may remain on-air in repeats on stations in Nunavut to fill a scheduling hole created by time zone differences. It also airs on CBC Radio One's Sirius Satellite Radio channel. [1]
