The Great Canadian Talk Show on 92.9 Kick-FM found an audience across the country, and we regularly featured perspectives from experts outside of Winnipeg. No perimeteritis here. On our first Weekend Special, 'Dirty Money' Shaun Myall joins us from Victoria BC, to discuss the recent crushing defeat of the Harmonized Sales Tax that had been inposed on taxpayers in British Columbia. Despite the lectures of the Globe and Mail and others about 'morons' being allowed to vote, Myall made the case that a dishonest Liberal government got a message and explained how in BC, issues of unethical behavior had sunk previous governments.
We also compared notes on how repeated CBC reruns of our Dragons Den appearance in October 2007 has resulted in the odd situation where people have come up to us the past few months saying "oh I just saw you on TV", and we had no idea what they were talking about. DM also went into how the 'reality' show is so heavily edited, that the real drama of our 45 minutes in front of the Dragons demonstrating professional wrestling as a marketing device and business model was lost in favour of a recreated storyline - not that the contract didn't allow for it. Heck, when else are 675,000 people going to hear us do play by play of a match?
Tom Brodbeck's column about the murders of 3 innocents this summer got a lot of supportive online comments which are also highlighted. The Saturday Episode can be heard on the player on this blog to the right, or by visiting the tgctspod.podbean.com hosting site.
