Tapestry (CBC radio)

Tapestry is a Canadian radio program, which airs Sunday afternoons on CBC Radio One featuring documentary and interview programming relating to spirituality, faith and religion.[1] The program was created by producer Peter Skinner and host Peter Downie.[1] The first episode was broadcast in September 1994. Downie was a former host of the CBC Television program Man Alive, which was also about spirituality, faith and religion.[1] Skinner was an associate producer of Tapestry's predecessor on CBC Radio, Open House, as well as at Man Alive.

Peter Downie was the program's first host, for the 1994/95 and 95/96 seasons.[1] The program's current host is Mary Hynes.[2]

The opening theme of Tapestry is taken from "Bitter Sweet Symphony", a song from the alternative rock band The Verve.
