DiscDrive was an afternoon show on CBC Radio 2 hosted by Jurgen Gothe. It played a mix of classical, traditional bluegrass, jazz, and commentary. It was on the air between 1985 and 2008.

The name is a pun since the program is playing discs while listeners are driving home from work during the afternoon rush hour.

During the broadcast aired on February 19, 2008, Jurgen Gothe alluded to a discussion that the show was to end soon. He indicated that the program would go on throughout the spring and summer (of 2008), but after Labour Day he would be hosting a new program. This cancellation of the show was later confirmed, and the final broadcast date was August 29, 2008.[1]
