WARNING: EXPLICIT LANGUAGE. You will hear the unedited f-word 80 times in this podcast.

One word. It can be a verb, an adjective, an interjection, punctuation or a noun. Not often used as an adverb. Starts with an F, rhymes with Muck, and is now legal to say on French radio stations in Quebec.
This podcast explores a recent CBSC ruling in Canada permitting french language radio stations to use the f-word. We also examine the relationship broadcasters have had with the f-word over the years dating back to 1921 when the first "bleep" machine was invented.
Radio broadcasters Charles Adler, Matt Cundill, Keri Jones and others share their misadventures with the four-letter swear.
