Brad Smith has lived several lives—and somehow talks about all of them on the radio.

  • AWESOMELY REFRESHING!!

    If you only know Brad Smith from years ago when he was the Canadian Bachelor and mistakenly think he cannot possibly be great as a talk radio host, you owe it to yourself to listen! His shows are intelligent, but entertaining, a great mix and fantastic guests on many subjects that you will almost never hear on radio or “mainstream media”

    He is not afraid to state his opinion, and also have his mind changed. A really great show and he has become one of my favourite broadcasters!
