    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The WPBL Podcast with Ashton Lansdell: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 1980
Q: Was it more rewarding to win in a winner-take-all game five or to sweep the series?
While winning earlier would have felt sensational, the winner-take-all dramatic finish provided the league and fans with a cinematic climax and a stronger sense of competition and narrative for the season.
Cathy Young: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 1979
Q: How did Cathy Young's early experiences shape her career trajectory?
She describes starting on the street and gradually moving to bigger stages, meeting pivotal figures, and navigating label dynamics, which formed a resilient, network-driven path rather than a straight line to fame.
Jayne Eastwood: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 1984
Q: How did the Godspell experience pave the way for your later work with SCTV and Second City?
The energy and collaborative spirit of Godspell helped me understand ensemble performance and improvisation in a real way, which translated into later opportunities with SCTV and beyond.
Jayne Eastwood: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 1984
Q: Who among the Godspell cast made the biggest impression on you early on?
Victor Garber stood out as an angel with warmth, and I remember how he connected with the music and the whole vibe of the ensemble.
Jayne Eastwood: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 1984
Q: What initially drew you to Godspell, given you were more of a dramatic actress at the time?
Honestly, I have no idea; it felt like an American Idol-style audition where people were just showing up and taking a chance, and I ended up in a role that surprised me and changed my career.
