TORONTO, ONTARIO - This week's radio pick comes from the CBC's As It Happens.
The holiday season is upon us, and it is, of course, a time of traditions. Leave it to the CBC to fully investigate one holiday tradition--the Chipmunk Song. Yes, the Canadians found out that the voices of the chipmunks were indeed sped up--and decided to let us hear what it sounds like at normal speed. The piece begins about 20 minutes into this 24-minute segment of the show, and if this doesn't provoke a hearty ho-ho-ho, I would assess that maybe your funny bone is a few sizes too small.
Listen to streaming Windows Media of As It Happens "The Chipmunks Song Slow"

An honorable mention this week goes to Charles Osgood of the CBS Radio Network. Osgood made a name for himself in radio with excellent writing, including poetry. This commentary on the political scandal in Illinois combines all the elements that made Osgood famous, from verse to integration of clips from the news in this two-minute commentary.
