For more than 35 years "As It Happens," CBC's popular current affairs program, has explored the heart of stories from across the world. Whether it's happening in the streets of Belgrade, the dockyards of Vancouver, or the kitchens of Paris, interviews come from world leaders, deposed dictators, rabble-rousers, and bingo callers to find understanding in the story behind the story. The hosts are Carol Off and Jeff Douglas. "As It Happens" can be heard on the Ideas Network weekdays from 7 to 8 p.m.
