This weekend Antonia Zebisias broke her blogging silence to remember Sid Adilman, one of Canada’s best entertainment journalists. He died this past Saturday and the paper he spent so much time at, the Toronto Star, remembers him well.

Sadly, another Canadian media legend died today: Lister Sinclair, the genius behind CBC’s Ideas program (among many others). For the next three nights, during Ideas’ time slot, the CBC will air a three-hour tribute to the broadcaster.

Before this medium consumed me, I lived for radio as exemplified by Lister Sinclair’s Ideas. The show — which to me, was him — offered more intriguing ideas and discussions than I’d encounter in school and his program continued to indulge my mind well beyond graduation. His voice, which was all I knew of him, will be missed yet fondly remembered.
