Eleanor Wachtel is the host of Writers & Company on CBC Radio One and is considered by many to be one of the finest interviewers in broadcasting. In her over two decades on the air, she has had in-depth conversations with the likes of Alice Munro, Susan Sontag, George Saunders and Jane Goodall. We speak to Eleanor about her childhood growing up in Montreal, her early love of books, and how she became the curious and insightful interviewer we know her as today.
