    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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Danny Marks: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 2001
Q: And this is the inception of Bluz FM.
Marks explains that he auditioned at CJRT when it was transitioning to Jazz FM 91, and proposed the name Bluz FM after Saturday Night Blues was already taken. The spelling was changed to secure the available web address.
Danny Marks: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 2001
Q: So why do you leave Edward Bear?
Marks says he wanted the band to move beyond its pop image and release music reflecting its blues and heavier side. He also describes pressure to join Scientology and says musical differences were the main reason he moved on.
Stu Stone: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 2003
Q: Tell me about all the wild shit you've been up to lately promoting Don't Fuck With Ghosts to Americans.
Stone said the film was picked up by Amazon Prime after online engagement helped attract attention. He and Adam Rodness then created Potluck Originals and filmed The Great American Ghost Hunt, a ten-episode series with Bridget Marquardt and celebrity guests.
Stu Stone: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 2003
Q: What was your personal history with broadcaster Bob McCown, and what was your experience listening to him?
Stone grew up listening to McCown and viewed him as a larger-than-life sports-radio personality. He described McCown as a pioneer who changed sports broadcasting and reflected on the poignancy of hearing him speak after health challenges.
Remembering Eric Bauza: Toronto Mike'd Podcast Episode 2002
Q: What do you think of the idea that from now on, no white people are doing voices for people of color, characters of color? Was that important to you?
Bauza applauds giving performers who have lacked opportunities a chance, while describing voice casting as a nuanced issue. He distinguishes between specific performances and stereotyped characters, and hopes comedy can still include people laughing at themselves.
