I will miss Mary Hynes’s incredible talent to thoughtfully ask the most insightful queries. You exude compassion, I’m sad. Take care Mary. Maria

Such a loss for Tapestry to be coming to an end! And old episodes removed from the podcast-why? You will be missed Mary

Mary Hynes rocks!

I appreciate their efforts to present shows that help us make sense of the extraordinary event we are experiencing and to provide us with coping tools and new perspectives. To the person who criticized the lack of emphasis on Christianity, Tapestry’s mission is to explore spirituality, religion...Read full review »

I love this podcast, the topics are so interesting, and up to date with the society. Continue doing the amazing job Mary!!! Nadine

Gaining a wide scope of understanding the spiritual beliefs around the globe and our history on this show is truly enlightening. It fills my soul with a better understanding of our shared existence. The interviews are in depth but also moments of laughter and joy. Thank you CBC.

You would never know from this podcast that Christianity still exists in this country. Thanks CBC.

Tapestry used to be a must-listen for me but it’s been getting less and less interesting over the past couple of years. Was this a conscious decision to dumb it down or make more “fun”? Really too bad, and there’s nothing on CBC radio to fill the slot that Tapestry once did.

I enjoy that this podcast/radio show has many diverse backgrounds and religions. It’s not just for diversity sake, it’s a conscious effort to reflex real life and view point about ways of doing or practicing religions. I really enjoyed hearing people like Casper Ter Kuille, who I know from Harry...Read full review »

I happened upon this show on my car radio while driving through Ontario on my way to New York from Iowa. It was an interview with a Rolling Stone reporter who had visited Medjugorje to report on the alleged apparitions of Mary. I’ve been hooked ever since and listen in the States via podcast....Read full review »

I appreciate
Reagan Bennett via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/29/18
The topics of summer episodes hosted by Christa Couture and Narcy Alsalman were marred by extraordinary self centred perspective of the hosts. Wow. Not since SookYin Lee have I heard such unbridled egos making each topic about themselves and scope limited by their narrow perspectives.

I wait all week for the new download.

On top of having interesting subject manner, these are fully engaged interviews and excellent jounalism.

I look forward to every episode. This is one of my fav shows.

A spirit and soul inspiring podcast. Mary is a delightful host and covers such interesting topics. I look forward to the fall season.
HannahAmy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/16
I really enjoyed listening to Reza Aslan and Lesley Hazleton episodes. Although I find the program little too polite for my liking (it must be how Canadians are), I find the program very informative and interesting.
incognito82 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/01/14
Wow
I love how I get a different slant on the world when I listen and learn from the tapestry series. I walk away with a more rounded And educated perspective on my pre conceived notions of life and religion.
Ladykay59 via · 07/23/14
A broad and witty discussion of religion, spirituality.

Been listening for years; it's great on the iPod for days when a run turns into a walk and a thought into reflection. I have wound reading many of the books first introduced to me on this show and never, never will tire of Anne Lamott as a guest.Read full review »

This show is always interesting and covers a very wide range of topics all centered on some aspect of spirituality and/or religion. Mary Hynes has an ease with the people she interviews which gives the feeling the listener is there visiting with the guest. I definitely look forward to each episode.

It is so hard these days to find a radio broadcast that is both deep and intelligent. Mary is such a gifted interviewer - someone who highlights the humanity in those she interviews, bringing their ideas, feelings, philosophies to life. Thanks for many a wonderful hour of soul-soothing content!

Why so many repeats? Don't let Tapestry get slowly assassinated by this government.Read full review »

New favorite. I need something to make me think during my days. Tapestry does just that.

Fantastic! Broad range of topics/ discussions/ideas. Interviewer remains unbiased but asks important questions that need to be opened up for discussion. Thank you for making this show available via podcast, CBC !!!

I've always enjoyed Mary's wise, eloquent, and subtly humourous style on Tapesry, now as a (limited editions) podcast. Please, please give us more podcasts, so I may take it with me to my isolated logging camp job. Love the show, with all of its crew and contributors.Read full review »

I have been meaning to write for a while as I am a dedicated listener. Now that I have an iPod I never miss a show. David Swanson's review below is so well written that I will take the easy way out and say that I couldn't have said it any better. What he said. Thanks Mary, you rock!Read full review »

A great show and I'm glad you can access the episodes here on Itunes. I have to complain about only the latest episodes being available, it would be great if we could access some of the podcasts that from more than a month ago..Read full review »

Tapestry is my favourite CBC program and I would not have discovered it without podcasting. Each week brings some theme to ponder and savour and explore. Mary does a terrific job of nurturing the music from each guest's passion. I find that the ideas from the shows usually become part of my...Read full review »

I love this program. It helps keep me focused on God and spirituality in my life, and often addresses questions I have been wondering about myself. Plus it's fun to listen to!

Mary Hynes herself is a warm and cheerful balance to the serious topics in religion and spirtuality, and she has made the whole inpenetrable world of spiritual accessible to the listener. Every Sunday I listen to hear who the guest is, and most often am transfixed for the whole hour. The exact...Read full review »

May sound corny, but has changed my life for the better - engaging me to think, internalize, connect, and perhaps most surprisingly act and be way more at peace with myself and the world. Every week there is a new perspective to absorb. THANKS for PODCASTING - I can listen when I am ready....

Thomas Moore spoke of the need to 'ensoul' a culture. The Tapestry broadcasts fulfill a need to enchant the ear and ensoul the heart through material that invites deep listening. Thank you for this service. Gary Diggins, TorontoRead full review »

I do not consider myself a particularly religeous person but I have really enjoyed the episodes of Tapestry that I've heard so far. They are a fantastic look into a wide variety of beliefs and religeons - very eye opening for anyone with an open mind. Although I do not subscribe to any one...Read full review »
