    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.

David Baerwald: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 1907
Q: How did David and David influence your career, and why did you eventually go solo?

David Baerwald: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 1907
Q: Did you always want to be a musician professionally?
Baerwald explains that becoming a musician was not a planned path; it happened by circumstance and collaboration in his early years.
Luke Doucet from Whitehorse: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 1909
Q: Why the name White Horse?
We chose it to provoke questions about our origin and Canadian identity, avoiding the Americana label and signaling our Canadian roots.
David Rider: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 1913
Q: So David Rider, what are your personal feelings about artificial intelligence, AI, if you will?
It is complicated with both great potential and real risks. AI can enhance journalism through data analysis and efficiency, but it can also misinform if not properly verified, so it requires strict human oversight, clear methodology, and transparency about how it's used.
