The Evan Bray Show

The National Toy Hall of Fame has announced its 2026 finalists, and there are some pretty nostalgic names on the list — from Bop It! and Polly Pocket to Mouse Trap, Pokémon cards and Tickle Me Elmo. What do you think is the best toy? Maybe it’s something from your childhood, something your kids can’t put down or a classic that never gets old.

Recently, a dead rat was found in Alberta. While this might sound like a slow news day story for us, this is no joke for our next-door neighbours who have been essentially "rat-free" for 75 years. Karen Wickerson, rat and pest specialist with Alberta Agriculture and Irrigation, joins Evan to explain how the province keeps the rats at bay and whether Saskatchewan is to blame for any unwelcome visits from the rodent.

Canada’s relationship with the United States has been under a close microscope since Trump's latest tariffs and constant threats to our country. But a new book argues that Trump didn't create our economic problems; he simply exposed them. Ian Lee, Carleton University business associate professor and author of TRAPPED: In the Shadow of Trump’s America and How We Escape, joins Evan to talk about his five proposed solutions.

Did you know grocery stores don’t always advertise their lowest prices? Mike Hollingworth, Acting Commissioner of the Competition Promotion Branch at the Competition Bureau, joins Evan to discuss its investigation into the practice and whether it could be costing Canadians at the checkout.

What time is it? It’s Eatin’ Time! with Belton Johnson! Grillmaster Belton Johnson joins Evan with his recipe for smoked buffalo chicken dip.

While agriculture is a huge part of Saskatchewan's economy and identity, not every child grows up with a direct connection to farming. Sara Shymko, Executive Director, Agriculture in the Classroom Saskatchewan, joins Evan to talk about how the organization brings agriculture and hands-on learning into classrooms, and sometimes even brings the students directly to the farm.
