CBC Television’s Interpretation of Canadian History

Patrice Dutil explores how CBC Television has presented Canadian History with Monica MacDonald, the author of Recasting History: How CBC Television Has Shaped Canada's Past (McGill-Queen’s University Press). MacDonald examines the show Explorations and Images of Canada which were broadcast in the 1960s and a number of key producers such as Eric Koch, Pierre Berton and Knowlton Nash. Other programs such as The National Dream, The Valour and the Horror, Canada: A People’s History and Canada: The Story of Us are discussed. This podcast was produced by Jessica Schmidt.
