In this informal YouTube video, Tod Maffin from InsideTheCBC.com visits the CBC Radio 3 studio in Toronto and is given a spontaneous tour by Ziju, a freelance staff member. Ziju walks Tod through the booth where the morning show is recorded, points out the mixing board, a computer that controls the lineup, and mentions the recently launched R330 countdown and its companion podcast. The conversation also includes personal anecdotes about the on‑air personalities Pedro and Craig, describing Pedro as friendly and popular, while Craig is portrayed as occasionally mean‑spirited, especially toward Pedro. The segment ends with Craig’s abrupt, humorous interruption, highlighting the casual, banter‑filled culture of the Radio 3 team.

Hi, it's Tod Maffin from InsideTheCBC.com, and I'm currently inside the CBC Radio 3 booth talking to— well, I was kind of expecting— Hi, who the hell are you? I was expecting Pedro or Craig.
I'm Ziju. I'm a freelancer here at CBC Radio 3. I haven't actually had any pieces on the air yet, but Craig and Pedro asked me to do a little tour for you.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm in here a lot, so I know a lot about The booth, this is the booth where the boys record the morning show on Radio 3. And, uh—
No, it doesn't come out of Vancouver, the morning show comes out of here.
No, no, the morning show comes out of here, that's right. And they also record the R330 countdown and the R330 podcast.
Which is new.
Yes, yes, it just launched a couple weeks ago.
That's cool.
They also even interview bands. In here. Oh yeah. You can see the equipment, the mixing board. There's the little computer. Has computer stuff on it.
Computer stuff? You know the stuff really well by name, I see.
Yeah. They don't let me touch it.
Don't they? That's a cool room, yeah. And this computer is presumably where the— so it's all done, the lineup is all kind of done in computer? Sure. And it automatically plays? Sure. Sure. Right on. So what are they like, Pedro and Craig?
Um, well, Pedro's a really nice guy. Yeah, he's really good to me. He's got a lot of fans in the office, especially the ladies. He's a very funny guy. Craig can be kind of, well, he can be kind of mean sometimes. You know what I mean?
Really?
Especially to Pedro. Oh, uh, he's just— I don't know, he's kind of dark or something. Oh, and he's right.
What's going on? Pedro, get out of there! Hi, hi, Craig! It's you! Yeah, get the fuck out of there! What are you doing? It's you! Hi, Craig! Get up, Pedro! Get up, for the love of God, get up, please! It's the third time this week. Jesus Christ.
