August 10, 2018 Should we delay working full-time until the age of 40?
Should we consider delaying full-time work until the age of 40? We’re living older and older as life expectancy increases. With this in mind, would it make sense to deliberately delay your career to deal with this reality?

August 10, 2018 Are police prepared to deal with high drivers? Is there a link between a rise in gun violence and the end of carding? & Should we wait until the age of 40 to start working full-time?
About one in seven cannabis consuming drivers reportedly drive within two hours of using the substance.
With the legalization of recreational cannabis just around the corner, how are police going to handle this issue? Are we adequately prepared and just how dangerous is it to drive while high?
Guest: Sgt. Kerry Schmidt, Media Relations, Highway Safety Division, Ontario Provincial Police

August 09, 2018 Why aren't candidates getting their names out there ahead of the October municipal election? Should the basic income pilot project have been cancelled? & What's the real deal with CTE?
The Scott Thompson Show with Scott Radley

Hamilton's municipal election is on October 22, so why haven’t we been hearing from the candidates? Name recognition is seemingly everything in municipal politics, so why aren’t the mayoral hopefuls getting their names out there? What’s the hold-up?

Guest: Larry DiIanni. Former Mayor, City of Hamilton

Yesterday there was a protest at Queen’s Park over the recent cancellation of Ontario’s basic income pilot project. The Progressive Conservative government is defending the project’s cancellation and that the end date of the pilot would be announced later this month. Social Services Minister Lisa MacLeod says that the project is failing but where is that data coming from?

Guest: Tom Cooper, Director, Hamilton Roundtable for Poverty Reduction and Organizer of protest at Queen’s Park

There’s been a bunch of conflicting news over CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy). New studies are showing that players from the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres don’t suffer CTE at a lower rate than previously suspected. On the other hand, NFL player claims for Parkinson’s and ALS, conditions linked to CTE, are way past league expectations. So what’s going on?
