August 05 The State Of The Toronto Blue Jays Post MLB Trade Deadline
Today Matt Robinson is joined by Andrew Stoeten of TheBatFlip.ca to take a look at where things stand for the Blue Jays following the Major League Baseball trade deadline.
We kick things off discussing a terrific piece Stoeten recently wrote about another fascinating time in Jays history and some of the names from the past that were involved. Later on talk obviously turns to what Toronto was able to ship out and bring in this week and whether they did enough. And we wrap it all up looking at just how much blame is being placed on the LA Dodgers for the impending labour strife and whether it's fair.

July 29 The Decaying NHL Fan Experience In Canada
Today Matt Robinson is joined on TCA by Robert Munnich of The Nation Network to discuss the enshitification of the NHL Fan Experience in Canada.
Last week Rogers announced another price increase to their Sportsnet Plus offering adding one more financial burden to the Canadian hockey fan. On the heels of this news, Robert penned a terrifically insightful piece about the ever-expanding financial price fans are expected to pay to enjoy the NHL in Canada. We ask him to take us inside his article.
Plus we take the opportunity to ask him about the current state of the Calgary Flames and just how deep he believes the Toronto Blue Jays should cut at this MLB Trade Deadline.
