Today I speak with the award winning journalist, 2012 Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient and Weekend News Anchor for Global News, Angie Seth.
In today’s episode we talk about her early work with OMNI Television, working at CBC Radio, running the Boston marathon, her biggest news stories, and why her Twitter handle is @kateygoalie.
Today we chat with Global News News Director, Mackay Taggart. First up, he claims to not be related to former Our Lady Peace drummer, Jeremy Taggart. We discussed the Obama inauguration in 2008; the rise of Donald Trump, Newsroom, Canadaland, and the sex symbol that is Justin Trudeau.
As many of you know I live in Scarborough. Last year we had an election that saw the Federal Liberals, led by Justin Trudeau, defeat Stephen Harper’s Conservative Party. During the election, only one person running for office came to my home: Salma Zahid. I wasn’t going to vote for Roxanne James who was with the Conservative Party. I was actually leaning towards the NDP.
But when Salma came to my office one of the things she promised me was that if the Liberals won and she was my MP, that I could count on her to help fix Bill C 51.
Here’s my conversation with the MP for Scarborough Centre, Salma Zahid.

In today’s episode I speak former musician and good friend Gregg Tilston. Back on Episode #7we chatted about Gregg’s career to date. Today, Gregg and I discuss the recently completed Man Machine Poem Tour.

Today I speak with the award-winning writer from the Toronto Star, Morgan Campbell. Morgan is a returning guest of the podcast. He made his first appearance on Episode #18.
Today, instead of talking about how Canada fared against the world’s best, we talk about how the media covered these games.
