Piya Chattopadhyay

Out in the Open

Piya Chattopadhyay has been described as a "swiss army knife" for her versatility in filling in as host of a number of flag-ship shows, including "The Current," q, "The World at Six" and Toronto's morning show, "Metro Morning." As the host of "Out in the Open," Piya breaks away from a more traditional role. She interviews guests, but she also has conversations with listeners and the show's producers and where appropriate, talks about how these issues touch her own life in ways which allow her spontaneity, curiosity, and personality to shine.
