Spark is a Canadian radio talk show about technology and Internet-related topics. Hosted by Nora Young, the program made its CBC Radio One début on September 5, 2007.[2] The show is also broadcast on Sirius Satellite Radio 159 and, since January 9, 2010, on Vermont Public Radio's network of stations in the United States.[3] Spark is produced in Toronto by Michelle Parise, Dan Misener, Anshuman Iddamsetty and Nora Young.[4]
The program is made collaboratively with its audience. Nora Young often encourages listeners to become "Spark Contributors" by participating in the active conversations on the Spark Blog, notifying the Spark Team of interesting ideas to investigate, or even recording interviews and letting Spark use them on the show.[citation needed] The show often plays phone messages left by Spark listeners and features comments left on the Spark Blog. The on-air version is available as a weekly podcast, augmented with two additional feeds: Spark Plus (which includes additional audio like full interviews), and Spark Lite (a low-bandwidth edition).[5]
