About this listen

On The Brian Crombie Radio Hour, three distinct conversations come together around one quiet but powerful thread: how we listen, how we belong, and what happens when people stop being seen. In the opening segment, Brian reflects on the philosophy behind his interviewing style — why real insight comes from patience, space, and allowing guests to move beyond rehearsed answers into their deeper “signature story.” In a media culture driven by speed and certainty, this is a case for slowing down — and why thoughtful listening matters more than ever. Next, the show takes an unexpected turn with a lively and thoughtful discussion on whether Canada should join the Eurovision Song Contest. Joined by historian Dean Vuletic, the conversation explores Eurovision as more than entertainment — a cultural and political institution that reveals how nations express identity, belonging, and soft power on a global stage. The program closes with a commentary on invisibility — not being criticized or opposed, but simply not being noticed. It examines how quiet reliability is often mistaken for replaceability, why organizations reward visibility over value, and why people rarely leave loudly — they disengage quietly. Three conversations.

One shared question.
What does it mean to truly be heard — and seen?
