About this Event

Calling all word nerds – , the beloved segment from CBC Radio's The Sunday Magazine, is coming to Glenn Gould Studio for a live taping! Host Piya Chattopadhyay will step into the hot seat as a contestant, competing against special guests Mattea Roach, host of CBC's Bookends and 23-game Jeopardy! champ, and Canadian actress and comedian Jennifer Whalen in puzzle master Peter Brown's signature battle of brain games.

Plus – we'll be picking members of the audience to play on stage!

Tickets will be released here on Nov. 17, 2025, at 8 a.m. ET. Be sure to get yours before they run out.

Seating is first come, first served. Admission is free, but if you'd like to give to a GTA food bank, the Daily Bread will be on-site accepting non-perishable food items, cash and electronic donations.

About Make the Season Kind

Last year, with the generous support of our community, CBC Toronto raised more than $1 million for GTA food banks. Make the Season Kind brings communities together to help fight hunger and food insecurity. Since 2012, CBC has helped raise more than $64 million for food banks and other charities from coast to coast as part of its annual holiday drives.

Help us make the season kind. For more information, including how to give in your community, visit cbc.ca/kindtoronto or call 1-866-416-KIND (5463).
