On the Saturday November 15, 2025 episode of The Richard Crouse Show we meet award-winning Canadian journalist and TSN Senior Correspondent Rick Westhead. He is known for fearless investigative reporting that shapes national conversations in sports and sports business. With more than two decades of experience, his work has earned two Canadian Sports Writer of the Year titles, six Canadian Screen Awards, and the 2023 Arnold Amber Award for Investigative Journalism.

In 2025, The Hockey News named him among the 100 People of Power and Influence in hockey. Formerly a foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star, Westhead has reported from Afghanistan, China, and Saudi Arabia. His in-depth investigations explore complex issues affecting athletes and sports organizations, earning him respect as one of Canada’s leading voices in journalism.

Today we talk about his latest project, A hard hitting and powerful look at hockey's moment of reckoning in Canada and the ways in which the game that is so universally loved has been rocked in recent years by court cases involving sexual assault and startling incidents of hazing and abuse throughout junior hockey.  

Then, we get to know Joss Richard. She is an Emmy-winning podcaster as the host and creator of the podcast Three's Company, Too: A Rewatch Podcast, an editorial & social director who’s worked at companies such as Hello Sunshine and Reese’s Book Club, The Walt Disney Company, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Netflix, and Paramount. Today we’ll talk about her debut novel, “It’s Different This Time,” a second-chance romance that sees a twist of fate forces two former roommates to move back into their beloved New York City brownstone where they must confront the events that led to their estrangement—and the unresolved feelings lingering between them.
