Heather Thompson Interview: CBC Radio (June 29)

History alumna, Heather Thompson, was recently interviewed by Colin Butler, Videojournalist, for CBC Radio following the publication of her paper, “A Tall Order: The Stubby Bottle as a Barrier to Entry – A Canadian Economic Story,” published in Western University’s The Mirror.

The stubby story will run on CBC Radio on Sunday, June 29, 2025 at 8:15am on Fresh Air in Ontario. They are also syndicating it across the country, which means it has the potential to run on weekend shows in all 10 provinces and 3 territories. Plus local morning shows on Mondays.

In addition, there is a separate packaged piece that will run as a national news item on Your World This Weekend at 6pm.

And finally, there’s an online story that will run as a national feature on Canada Day, publishing at 3:30 am. Here is the link: cbc.ca/1.7556282

Congratulations Heather!
