Margaret Atwood's first interview with George Stroumboulopoulos on The Hour

In 2009, Margaret Atwood took her first seat in the red chair to talk about "Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth," her book written for the 2008 Massey Lectures. In honour of Margaret's *75th birthday*, we're revisiting that classic interview.

George is a little too flip at times with Margaret, like at the 4:00 minute mark when he evidently wasn't listening to her. She is one of the greatest Canadian writers for whom I have enormous regard. I have seen her speak several times, from late 1973 at a Canadian University Press Conference at Ryerson in Toronto to book signings later here in Winnipeg. I agree, she is very deep and her more current perceptions of debt as well as other numerous aspects of the human condition through her writing has been incredibly impressive.

@@TheLategates thank you, exactly!! (funny-just before reading your comment I gave someone a "huh" as well... lol)

She is brilliant. He is a dullard.

Love Strombo. Love Atwood. Worst interview I've ever seen him give. She uses his name when it's obvious that George is thinking about other things instead of this interview. It's a shame.

Huh? No doubt you're making an assumption. You see what you want to see.

[@JohnDaly-x4i]

She has talent. He doesn't.
