The Radio Show was a Canadian radio show, which aired on CBC Radio from 1983 to 1992. The show incorporated some aspects of a conventional radio talk show, filtered through the warped comedic sensibilities of host Jack Farr. The program, described by some critics as an "electronic pub" or a "radio chautauqua", had as its core philosophy the provision of light entertainment for people who suffered from "information overload" during the week.
Premiering on April 23, 1983 as a summer replacement for the network's Metropolitan Opera broadcasts, the show aired on Saturday afternoons. By its third season, the program was airing throughout the year.
