    Mike, love your podcast and you do ask the tough questions.

    One thing that did not get addressed with Steve re. Akim Aliu issue:

    Steve kept saying he knew too much from his sourcing. Well is it possible his sources from the hockey community were racist? To me he used this excuse to escape criticism, but I really have little faith in the hockey community. And so I don’t trust Steve’s sources.

    Thank you,

    Stephen

    A great guy who doesn’t steal the stoplight from his Guests. Mike asks the questions that you want answered as he delivers the Real Talk. I’m surprised at his ability to get such good Guests. Keep up the good work.
