Wiretap

You never quite know where WireTap will take you. From a scientist who documents the final words of parrots to what it's like to date Lois Lane after she's broken up with Superman, the minds of Jonathan Goldstein and his friends and family are truly unique.

    So glad it’s back
    So fun, so Canadian. Really love how this is just ordinary things that all of us often struggle with and somehow put off resolving for some reason. After a long hiatus I’m very happy that this podcast is back. Now please also pickup Heavyweight w Jonathan Goldstein since Spotify killed it!
  • RDC!
    Love this show!
    Can you please post the episode with the professional pencil sharpener?! Classic.

    Wiretap amazing, this podcast, garbage.
    Wiretap is the benchmark in which I compare any other radio/podcast. I’ve yet to find a show that is comparable. You should go look on the internet and listen to them all. This podcast, is hot garbage. There was a trickle of content, and now just puts out ads for other cbc shows.

    I've Missed You!
    I can't remember when I started listening to Wire Tap--seems like it must have been a lifetime ago. So glad to see it come back. Truly the best podcast ever and I've missed you!
  • Mikeintraffic

    I’m so glad that these are back again! A+!
  • dreuuuus
    More episodes!!
    Love the show, probably my favorite podcast show now, and my favorite radio show then! Dig through that archive and publish some more!

    Loved it then, love it now.
    Found this show back in 2008 and became a loyal listener whenever a new episode I could find aired. I loved it, it was really well written and well acted and sometimes felt like it wasn’t. I was incredibly sad to see it go off the air. I still listen to it years later, kind of in the same semi-depressed realisation-his-life state as the host noticing I’m listening to only things that I get, but that does make it better in a way.

    Muffy Drake Vibe!
    Peabody worthy. Reminds me of Joe Frank meets Muffy Drake in Paris for drinks.
  • jencbuddan
    Too amazing!

    TURN DOWN THE COMMERCIALS
    I love Johnothan Goldstein, he is a fantastic storyteller and an extrememly funny human. Howard is my spirit animal. The only problem with this podcast is that the COMMERCIALS ARE SO GODDAMN LOUD! Keep UP the good work and turn DOWN the commercial volume. Thanks.

    Best podcast!!
    I adore this show!! This was the first radio program I looked forward to hearing. So happy to see it accessible to my older self.
  • Bama Five
    Overjoyed
    I was looking for something new to subscribe for the commute to and I found Wiretap - I’m so happy I can’t wait to go to work tomorrow. I used to love it and can’t wait to listen to it all again
  • TallDeadGuy
    GREAT show with terrible audio engineering
    Please either raise the audio level of the show or lower the level of the ads and interstitials. The difference is 15-20 db. It is alarming and painful when the ads come on.

    Timeless
    This show was so ahead of its time. Loved it then, love it now. Thank you, Johnathan!!
  • ed108649
    Good
    The Jonathan Goldstein content you want but suffering in quality compared to his work on this American life and Heavyweight. THE ADS ARE SO LOUD PLEASE FIX
  • hazelbnr
    Hilarious
    That’s it. No, hilarious is not adequate. Creative with surprising twists & turns. Love it.
  • Reemosupreemo
    I love this show
    I bought all the episodes on iTunes yet here I am subscribed and excited every time I see them in my feed
  • bandit84lumber
    Where have you been???
    I love Wiretap! Glad it’s back! Howard, cracks me up!! One of my favorite shows ever! Hilarious and witty! Scripted skits seem so realistic! I love it!!
  • D.flo
    Wonderfully unique
    I have missed this so much!!! There is something about the format that makes me think of a lighter version of Joe Frank.
  • disappointed & disturbed
    Heavyweight is SO GOOD!!
    Heavyweight is my very fav podcast. You are hilarious there!! More Heavyweight, please. This is too stressful to listen to. I want to find the gems in WireTap (Radical Honesty was a really great listen), but there’s just too much that’s so hard to listen to. This is the first review I’ve ever written for anything, after forty years of life, and over a decade of deep podcast listening. More Heavyweight, please! You split my sides and open my eyes there. Wiretap is the exact opposite. Cool that you can have these different avenues of expression, I guess :)
  • Jenett
    I LOVe this podcast!!
    I’m so glad this podcast is back! I love this podcast! Hilarious. Always makes me laugh.
  • Will the bugs EVER be fixed??
    Interesting...
    I like that you’re not sure what you’re gonna get, but you kind of do. Endearing and funny, just right.

    Loud commercials
    I love this podcast! Could you just adjust the commercials volume level? I’ll be listening & suddenly a very loud commercial...very disruptive. Thank you.
  • mags2witches
    Great podcast with insanely loud ads
    Will change this from 2 to 5 stars once CBC remixes the inserted ads and turns them down to reasonable levels. Holy wow, they blast my eardrums every time. It’s sonic assault and it ruins the flow of the episode. Love Jonathan’s work tho! <3
  • Gallio get out
    Thanks
    Thank you Jonathan. Appreciation from Austin tx
  • howardismyspiritanimal
    A podcast before there were podcasts
