Radio Canada International, Shortwave Listener's Corner (Studio Recording): December 27, 1987

Many thanks to SRAA contributor, Sam Ward, who shares the following studio recording and notes:

[This] recording is of the Shortwave Listener's Corner program from December 27, 1987. This edition of the program was a bit unusual in that I don't think they read anyone's letters, but the program definitely does have an Arctic theme to it, plus, Radio Canada International plays a few Christmas carols sung in the Inuktitut language. I certainly appreciate Ian McFarland giving me this studio recording of the show, since I missed it when it was first broadcast.
