As Canada's national public broadcaster, we're committed to sharing the authentic stories of communities from across the country on all of our platforms. The wide range of our honoured audio productions, in both English and French, is a testament to our ability to speak to diverse audiences and to address a wide variety of subjects - from Céline Dion's unifying music to complex and engaging personal stories like those explored in our podcasts Sea of Lies and The Outlaw Ocean, This distinction, along with all the individual award winners and finalists in different categories, also reflects the vitality and excellence of our audio and radio productions. Congratulations to all our teams whose exceptional talent is celebrated in this way." — Natacha Mercure, General Manager, Audio and Radio, Radio-Canada
