Summary Profile

Vicki Gabereau is a three time ACTRA Award Winner for best radio host-interviewer, and Canada's undisputed Queen of Talk.

Gabereau is the kind of person who makes friends wherever she goes. She has a knack for getting the most reticent and evasive guests to chat with her like neighbours over the back fence, making it easy to get the inside scoop that Barbara Walters never gets.

Gabereau's insight into the lives of the people she interviews, her warmth and her wit (not to mention her humour)add up to make her a hit with audiences across the country.

Gabereau has also published an autobiography, This Won't Hurt a Bit, and a cookbook collecting some of her favourite recipes sent in by her CBC radio listeners.
