The Mystery Project
The Mystery Project was produced by CBC Radio (Canada). It aired every Saturday night on CBC Radio One (6:30 p.m. for most of Canada, 7:30 p.m. Maritimes, 8:00 p.m. Nfld.), and was repeated at 3:30 p.m. the following Mondays on Richardson's Roundup, also on Radio One. CBC Radio produces more than 150 hours of original radio drama each year, and they do far more than just mysteries. They are produced in regional centres across the country and in the network studios in Toronto. Their mandate is to, hopefully "reflect the national fabric of Canada and beyond."[1]
The series ran from 1992 until 2002. Each week, casual listeners got to puzzle through a fully dramatized radio-play with a resolved plot, while regular listeners had the added fun of following familiar characters' further adventures. The series was created by the Executive Producer, Bill Howell. Barry Morgan was the co-ordinating producer. With Host Bob Boving.
