Hi, Steve Patterson here, host of The Debaters, the show where Canada's top comedic minds go head to head on topics that might not be top of mind yet. This week we famously ask a pretty rich question. Is it better to be rich or famous? Get ready for a wealth of wit from two of our country's most well-known, if not most well-paid, jokers. Listen to this week's episode of The Debaters wherever you get your podcasts.

This is a CBC podcast. So when my first child started university, I was elated, not only because it's a joy to see your child move to the next stage in their education, but because I'd now have access to the university library. Oh, why do you want to use the university library? Welcome to Ideas.

I'm Nala Ayed, and I'm speaking with Ideas producer Naheed Mustafa. I worked freelance for many, many years and in those days accessing research materials was tough. I was constantly hitting up my friends in academia or putting a call out on Twitter, hey, I need an article. Can anyone get me a PDF? Why was it so difficult?

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
