November 07, 2025 Oren Weisfeld On Canada's Golden Basketball Generation
Today Matt Robinson is joined by basketball writer Oren Weisfeld to discuss his new book "The Golden Generation: How Canada Became A Basketball Powerhouse."
We have a fascinating discussion about the history of basketball in this country, why it took so long to get top players working together in a national program, the part systemic racism played in holding Canada back, whether the arrival of the Toronto Raptors and Vince Carter is overstated in the growth of the game north of the border, what needs to happen to see things continue to grow here, just how high this current crop of Canadian stars can take Team Canada and so much more.

November 05, 2025 Playing Catch Up On The NHL, CFL, NFL & UFC
Matt Robinson is joined today by Steve Bunda to try to catch up on all the things that have been neglected while all the attention was on the Toronto Blue Jays' World Series chase.
Is there reason for concern around the Ottawa Senators' goaltending? Are the Toronto Maple Leafs destined to remain so mediocre? What's next for the Ottawa REDBLACKS after firing their head coach? Who has established themselves as being for real in the NFL? And what has Bunda's attention as the UFC appears set for a strong finish to 2025?
