    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.

AI Slop Is Rotting Your Brain: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 1933
Q: What are the potential positives of AI mentioned in the discussion?
AI can assist in processing large data sets, aid in creative exploration, and potentially enable new forms of storytelling or research, though these benefits must be weighed against environmental costs and ethical concerns.
AI Slop Is Rotting Your Brain: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 1933
Q: How do you define the term AI Slop and why is it a concern for Toronto historians and creators?
AI Slop refers to mass-produced, low-effort AI-generated images, music, and content that lacks authenticity and proper attribution, which can mislead the public and erode trust in real historical records.
Suzie McNeil: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 1930
Q: How did Rockstar INXS shape your career afterwards?
It gave massive exposure but also created a complicated aftermath, including negotiations, management changes, and a push to navigate the industry with more control over her work.
Ed Keenan from The Toronto Star: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 1926
Q: What are your thoughts on Brad Bradford's chances in the mayoral race?
Brad Bradford is seen as a plausible alternative to Olivia Chow, with potential to draw voters who are unhappy with the current direction, but his path is hindered by name recognition and financing challenges; the race is potentially a three-horse one if a larger name jumps in, otherwise it remains Bradford versus Chow.
Jim Lang re: Rogers Shuttering 6 Radio Stations: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 1929
Q: Jimmy, so tell me how safe are Toronto AM radio stations right now?
Lang explains the trend toward moving AM signals to FM and the likelihood of more consolidation, with regulatory bodies potentially allowing more than two FM signals in a market in the future.
