There are moments that change us.
A time we overcame rejection. Experienced loss. Changed jobs. Let go.
In a one-of-a kind musical storytelling experience, All in a Day host Alan Neal visited venues across Ottawa as part of #CBCPOPUP to ask the question: What is a moment that changed your life?
A beautiful mix of stories and experiences were captured and are now available on the CBC podcast, One Question.
