I know we said we were pausing Now and Next until the New Year, but today is something of an anniversary for us at SSN.

As we noted last week, we're wrapping up our first full calendar year with the Story Studio Network team. And today marks one year since I gave it my full-time, undivided attention. It was December 19th, 2021 when I wrapped up my tenure as host of the Newstalk 1010 Weekend Morning Show.

It was a wonderful ride, so I thought I'd share the memory. Today's episode features the final hour of our Virtual Open House on the Sunday morning show and it kicked off with a visit from Santa Claus!

Today on Now and Next, we meet Tom Hoppe. Tom is a Canadian military veteran and host of The Most Painful Podcast. It's produced by Story Studio Network for the Chronic Pain Centre of Excellence at MacMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.

The CPCoE team was established to conduct research and help improve the well-being of Canadian Armed Forces Veterans, and their families, suffering from chronic pain.

Description
Today on Now and Next, we sit down one on one with Jeff Musson, Executive Director of Coding for Veterans. Hundreds of Canadian military veterans are transitioning to a civilian career with some exceptional job prospects after completing the coding program offered by Coding for Veterans and the University of Ottawa.

Jeff says it's not all that surprising to see military vets gravitating to cyber security.

These are subjects covered in Jeff's podcast series - 1 Click 2 Cyber Chaos.

Today on Now and Next: A one on one sit down with Neil Hetherington, CEO at Daily Bread Food Bank in Toronto. Pressures on food banks are increasing. Food insecurity is a clear and present danger for a growing number of Canadians who suffered through the pandemic and now face historic rates of inflation.

They are being forced to live in poverty.

Neil says the first step towards stemming that tide is to stabilize incomes.
