Shane Hewitt catches up with “Uncle Bob” Addison for a chat about beard mishaps, Vancouver Whitecaps heartbreak, and the joys (and pitfalls) of concert-going. They dive into fandom, aging, and whether phones belong at live shows, all with Bob’s signature humor and heartfelt takes.

Carmi Levy joins Shane Hewitt to discuss how social media platforms like Facebook manipulate feeds by resurfacing old or AI-generated content to keep users engaged, often at the cost of relevance, truth, and mental health. They also raise concerns about the environmental toll of AI technologies and the self-reinforcing loop of low-quality, machine-generated content that now dominates the internet.

Shane Hewitt and Matt Gurney dive into Canada’s political landscape, focusing on the challenges facing Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new government—particularly around delivering on promises, managing provincial demands, and reforming slow bureaucratic processes. They explore whether Carney can bring real accountability and efficiency to Ottawa before political inertia sets in.
