In early-2022, sports betting advertisements were being plastered across every Ontario TV screen in sight. And now, with every live event you see, fans are being inundated with pregame odds and mid-game bets. From NHL games, to even the Olympics, no sport is off-limits. But is it changing how the everyday fan consumes live sporting events? According to a researcher at Carleton University, the answer is an unfortunate ‘Yes’. Andrew Pinsent chats with Liam Young, an Associate Professor at Carleton University and the Co-Director of the prestigious Journalism and Communications Department.

PODCAST: CFRA's House Calls for Sun. March 15th, 2026

Hollywood actor Timothee Chalamet is one of the popular names that could win some hardware at Sunday's Academy Awards. But heading into the big event, this die-hard New York Knicks fan is receiving some heat from the Opera and Ballet crowds. During a candid conversation alongside fellow Hollywood actor Matthew McConaughey, Chalamet said he didn't want to pour ounces of blood and sweat into an industry that is fading out of mainstream relevance, citing opera and ballet by name. Was it an honest observation that could have been worded better, or was it a calculated jab at a 'dying breed' of artistic expression? CFRA show producer Mitch Kedrosky joins Andrew Pinsent for today's edition of What's Trending.
