Watch what happens when a day in Jonathan Goldstein's life gets documented in video.

Wiretap's Jonathan Goldstein is nominated for a media award in the Netherlands and to commemorate the occasion, Dutch TV sends down a camera man to document a typical day in the host's life. Everything goes according to plan... until Gregor shows up.

Watch "Superstar of the Netherlands":

"WireTap" is a weekly, hour-long eavesdropping delight in which host Jonathan Goldstein talks on the phone with fabulous storytellers.

The "Toronto Star" describes "WireTap" as "[pitting] the absurd against the plausible. The sense is of a world not completely unlike our own that runs parallel ... conversation, storytelling and introspection, culled from equal parts real-world experience and the warp of Goldstein's imagination" and the "Montreal Gazette" calls the show "something between borscht-belt comedy and Franz Kafka."

"Wiretap" is a weekly radio show produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and distributed by PRI. Get more "WireTap."
