  • Outfront is radio stories about real life. It's all about your ideas, your experiences, your perspectives, your story. It's fifteen minutes of storytelling, experimental audio and new ways of making radio. Stories told from Canadian perspectives about the Canadian experience. You won't hear traditional storytelling, and you won't hear reporters or hosts. Outfront explores new ways of presenting stories which break the radio mold. At Outfront story means character, scenes, and action. It means insight, or even an epiphany or two. It means a movie without pictures, where your microphone is your camera. And, finally, it means taking us into your life, or the life of someone you know, as you live it today in this country.
