     FRESH AIR is produced by CBC/Toronto.

     I don't have their phone number, but you could also write to them:
          FRESH AIR
          CBC Toronto
          Post Office Box 5000
          Toronto, ON  M5W-1E6

P.S.  For CBC fans, that postal code is:
      "Make Five Weiners, I'll Eat 6"
           as coined by Arthur Black
