The Toronto Star describes Wiretap as "[pitting] the absurd against the plausible. The sense is of a world not completely unlike our own that runs parallel... conversation, storytelling and introspection, culled from equal parts real-world experience and the warp of Goldstein's imagination" and The Montreal Gazette calls the show "something between borscht-belt comedy and Franz Kafka." Earlier this year, WireTap was awarded the Gold World Medal for Best Regularly Scheduled Comedy Program at The New York Festivals.
Jonathan Goldstein's writing has appeared in The Walrus, The New York Times, GQ, and The National Post. He is a frequent contributor to PRI'S This American Life and the New York Times Magazine. He is an editorial board member of the Public Radio Exchange and was a 2002 co-recipient of The Third Coast Audio Festival's Gold Prize. In 2004, he was awarded a Canadian National Magazine award for humor. His novel, "Lenny Bruce is Dead," made its US debut earlier this year.
