As It Happens is a long-running Canadian interview show that airs on CBC Radio One in Canada and various public radio stations in the United States through Public Radio International.

The other co-host, currently Jeff Douglas, introduces the interviews and other segments, such as "For the Record" recordings of speeches or press conferences, and musical interludes (or as former co-host Barbara Budd often referred to them, "the dance portion of the program").
