I got to attend mt first week of “upfronts” recently in Toronto. Upfronts are when networks preview the upcoming season in the hopes that advertising companies will buy commercials on these networks upfront (before the shows even air). Get it?
Anyways, one of the shows I’m excited to see on CTV (part of Bell Media) is the new upcoming program by Russell Peters: The Indian Detective.
According to IMBD, “The series will star Peters as a Toronto cop who unexpectedly finds himself investigating a murder in his parents’ Indian homeland, and will begin shooting this fall in South Africa, Canada and India. Big Light Productions, Blue Ice Pictures, Wonder Films and CTV will produce the project, which is financed by Blue Ice Pictures and the Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa.”

Arturo Marcano is a Toronto-based author who writes about the problems in Latin American countries caused by the globalization of baseball, specifically Major League Baseball (MLB).
In this hour-plus long conversation Marcano shares with us:
– how MLB has helped shape the cycle of poverty in the baseball-talent rich nations of Venezuela and the Dominican Republic
– why this same problem doesn’t exist in Mexico or Japan
– why there are not a lot of players in MLB from Mexico
– the upcoming battle between Cuban baseball and MLB
and much, much more!
Enjoy!

Sonya and I discuss dropping out of university, lying to her parents about grad school, moving to Toronto as a single South Asian woman with no job, her life in broadcast media, how women should deal with trolls (online and off), her agency Youzus, buyer’s remorse, her new app, what she’s doing with Tim Hortons, and SO MUCH MORE!
Then the dream ends when the phone rings,
You’re doing alright he said it’s out there most days and nights,
But only a fool would complain.
Anyway Susan, if you like,
Our conversation is as faint as a sound in my memory,
As those fingernails scratching on my hull.
Today is Free Comic Book Day. I’ve always been a comic book fan. When I wasn’t able to afford comics I would go to my local library and borrow my comics. Then when I started working I would go to the comic book store in Bridlewood Mall and buy the latest comic book. My poison was Spider-Man comics. I’ve always been a Spider-Man fan. I even have a Spider-Man tattoo on my left forearm.
Even though I bought a bunch of comics I still don’t have a massive collection. In fact, I did buy a really cool Super-Man comic a few years ago when I was visiting New York City.
