[[CBC News]], April 10, 2024.</ref> ===Notes=== For [[Lawrence Hill]]'s Massey Lectures in 2013, the CBC Radio website featured a visual narrative to accompany that year's theme ''Blood: The Stuff of Life''. The story included full-screen images of blood, animations that visually demonstrated historical attitudes towards blood and videos of people affected culturally by it. 1996 did not feature a lecture because ''Ideas'' producers and the selected Lecturer [[Robert Theobald]] could not agree on an appropriate [[manuscript]] for the programme.<ref name=theobald>{{cite news| pages = A15| last = Valpy| first = Michael| title = The Massey Lectures you won't be hearing| work = Globe & Mail| location = Toronto, Canada| date = 1996-09-17}}</ref> The theme was to have been on the future of work. Theobald later published his manuscript as ''Reworking Success: New Communities at the Millennium'' (1997).<ref name=reworking>{{cite news| issn = 0319-0781| pages = β6| last = Smith| first = Cameron| title = The Massey Lecture we didn't hear| work = Toronto Star| location = Toronto, Ont., Canada| access-date = 2017-01-16| date = 1997-03-29| url = http://www.cameronsmith.ca/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=331; }}</ref>
