You probably remember the music chaos of the late 90s and early 2000s, when we went from paying $20 for CDs to $0 for on Napster and Limewire to $0.99 a song on iTunes. This is a convo about what happened in Canada, and how we almost led the way, but didn’t. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/c...

Good morning! Can I interest you in a conversation between myself and @vassb.bsky.social about what exactly makes a company Canadian, and how fake Canadian companies keep getting billions in contracts from our federal government? It's ... quite something! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/w...

As a Canadian gamer since… oh god I’m old, it was a pleasure to talk to @jonore.bsky.social about the huge industry we’ve built up here and why it doesn’t get the kudos that our other creative industries do. You’ve played Canadian games and not even known it! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/c...

This was a fun conversation! Thanks for having me

Swiss Chalet should not be having a “seafood fest”. I’m sorry that is not right, stay in your lane. Ribs was a big big enough reach. Let’s leave it at that.

I've long been a fan of his shows, so it was a privilege to welcome @casinoshiftmd.bsky.social to Cancon to discuss the (troubling) state of Canada's emergency rooms six years after covid hit. You would think we'd have learned a lesson or two, but... Anyway: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/i...

Was an absolute pleasure to chat with @338canada.bsky.social this week on Cancon about the (latest) surge in the polls, if we're effectively a 2.5-party system and the state of polling in the age of misinformation. Please have a listen: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/a...

If anyone here is interested in a difficult discussion about the Canadian podcast industry and if it’s actually viable, I had one with @podthenorth.bsky.social on CanCon this week. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/c...

This was an awesome convo, and if you’ve ever wondered why this country is full of monopolies… well, we were literally built on them.

This was an awesome conversation. I thought I knew and appreciated Canadian whisky, but Emily Osborne schooled me. I figured the largest distillers were internationally owned by now, but almost none of serious size that are still independent? Wild. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/c...

The NFL is going to start the 2026 season in a country with suspended elections and killing in the streets and the guys in the booth are going to say things like “with all that’s going on we’re just happy to be a place where Americans come together regardless of our differences.”

The thing that will stay with me about this headline is that, oh, we’re just calling them “Agents” now?

I am BEGGING parents to let their kids play on their own and figure things out. I had my daughter with me all day today while I was working and the best 90 minutes of her day was when I kicked her out in the snow to go play in the backyard, Calvin and Hobbes mom style.

For those of you who wondered if Elbows Up was ever coming back…. It’s not. At least not as it was. But if you haven’t deserted the feed yet, you’ll find something new in your podcast app tomorrow morning. Hope you’ll check it out!

I am firmly on the left—ask anyone!—and I think she looks nice! Great holiday outfit, nice lighting, perhaps an excessive amount of boobs but very pretty! Hope she’s happy! I am sorry to report I guess that I am the opposite of enraged. The culture war has entered a strange new dimension recently

All the dollars I lost happily hedging against the Jays earlier this year are coming back to me and bringing friends and I honestly hate that. Might have to up the ante. Either we win the division or I make enough money to buy a Switch 2. Gotta go do some math.

A lovely tribute to Ken Dryden by Paul Wells. Very much worth your time today. open.substack.com/pub/paulwell... Also, if you’ve never read The Game, now is the time to fix that.

Not that anyone asked but my brother was doing a Remember Concerts We’ve Been To thing in the group chat, and the more the years go by the more I realize this is probably the best and most historic show I’ll ever have attended: www.setlist.fm/setlist/radi...

My child is growing out of wanting to eat goldfish but I am not…..

I hope for a lot of things for this troubled world. But also, I spend a lot of time hoping that I will live to see a day when I don’t have to give even a first thought, never mind a second, to people like the ones named in this post.

Was talking with a friend about being old today and he raised a fun Q: can you remember who the first athlete was, that you watched their WHOLE career as a fan, who was elected to a hall of fame? You have to actually remember them as a rookie. I think my best is Griffey or Shaq, in 2016.

This might very well make me an old man, but my album of the year so far is a country album and it isn’t currently close. music.apple.com/ca/album/the...

Here’s a good Bluesky sports test. Anyone have thoughts on this 12 team SF best ball draft that I started from the 1.1 and think I like the most of all my teams through five rounds? This is a really entertaining build, with potential!

That was an absolutely incredible tennis match. So glad I took the time to watch it.

It really sucks that sports hasn’t taken off on here. Because I can’t justify, for the sake of my mental health, logging onto the Politics App at 9 pm. See y’all tomorrow.

Good for Bo. Great job, Bo. Go get some pitching now Ross.

I will put the microbreweries in the Eastern Townships up against any area in the country. This was a quick stop at a random grocery store just to see what they had that I hadn’t tried last year. Ridiculous. These are all from various small towns within 20 mins from here.

I’m taking a real beating over here folks but I’m ok with it, you’re welcome.

I haven’t wished I was doing a daily news podcast since the day it ended for me, because everything has been horrible since November and my mental health would have suffered. It was honestly great timing. But man I wish I could do one just on the Blue Jays, just for fun.

You might think I should trim back my garden. But you do not understand. One day I plan to sit down here and just let the plants have me.

I have to tell you folks. I enjoy emotional hedging as basically my only form of sports betting. And I’ve probably lost about $60-80 betting $3-5 against the Blue Jays every day since they got hot and it’s the best money I’ve ever spent.

Ooops!

I put some spare money I had into BTC and Doge. Not because I like it. But it’s the same principle I use when I bet against my favourite sports teams. If the Bad Guys are going to win I want a piece of it. And it’s worth that money to me to see them lose if it happens.

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode of the Decibel, and I’m headed to the cottage for the next five days and now I have a new playlist. Great podcast. www.theglobeandmail.com/podcasts/the... A mixtape of you: The summer of the Great Canadian Playlist - The Globe and Mail

The hilariously sad and yet totally predictable thing about cord cutting is that within a few years massive price increases have probably made it advantageous to the folks who just kept their cable channels and use them to log on to Sportsnet and the like. Was always going to end up this way…

24 Hours, a paper I once worked for and which has not published in Canada since 2017, is more trusted than Fox News. And I can’t argue with that.

We called up the reserves for this one.

A bit late to this, but a great episode! Explore Canada! @jordanhr.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/3EVw...

Yo Addison Barger just might be the real deal. Not just a hot hitting streak, he’s making plays all over the diamond. I’m getting kind of … excited.

Also, it didn’t catch on and they didn’t keep doing it, but Radiohead made In Rainbows a pay-what-you-wish release and a generation that came of age on Napster never stepped up and here we are.

You know who got a ton of hate but that history should totally vindicate? Metallica, for trying to sue Napster and its users into oblivion.

My dynasty fantasy baseball team has Acuna, Carroll and O’Neill Cruz and I would just like to apologize to these four players for the rest of it.

And honestly, before you blame the Globe or the Times or whomever, just remember there are plenty more outlets running it without mentioning the last part as a claim and treating it as fact.
