Simply Sean is a radio show that airs weekly on CBC Radio One hosted by comedian Sean Cullen. It runs every Saturday morning for an hour starting at 10am (10:30am in Newfoundland) featuring songs chosen by Cullen interspersed by his own offbeat observations. The show began as a summer replacement series in 2005 and was renewed in the summer of 2006 and 2007.

Each show features a segment focusing on a topic ripe for Cullen's comedic talents to riff on, including "James Bond", "Saturday Morning Cartoons", and "songs by Star Trek stars". Typical music selections included the likes of The Tragically Hip, Weakerthans, Tom Waits, and R.E.M..

The first season of the show ran for a total of 10 episodes, lasting well into the duration of the CBC lockout of 2005. All of the shows were pre-recorded prior to the lockout, and the series ended at the conclusion of its summer run.
