In this 1235th episode of Toronto Mike'd, Mike shares the 4th instalment of Every Spring A Parade Down Bay Street featuring David Shoalts, Gare Joyce, Liam Kelly, Gerry Hall and Toronto Mike.

How to Succeed in Sportswriting (without Really Trying) features at least two entries a week and sometimes a fair bit more. Gare takes readers behind the scenes in the sports media and comes clean about his most abysmal failures that he had managed to mostly cover up--recent entries include Gare getting chased by police through the stands during the closing ceremonies at Boston Garden or writing the leads of a reporter with chronic writer's block--a reporter who happened to be working at a competing paper. Paid subscribers to How to Succeed in Sportswriting get exclusive stories, full access to the archive and Gare's home phone number. Subscriptions start at $5 a month.

Toronto Mike'd is proudly brought to you by Great Lakes Brewery, Palma Pasta, the Yes We Are Open podcast from Moneris, The Moment Lab, Ridley Funeral Home and Electronic Products Recycling Association.
