The Morning Show with Devon Peacock

On today’s edition of The Morning Show Podcast, we examined the rise of political violence in the U.S. after the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the growing threats facing Canadian politicians. We spoke with London Police Detective Sergeant Micah Bourdeau about the increase in shootings in London, bail reform, and illegal guns coming across the border. Our Thursday panel with Ryan Gauss and John Fyfe-Millar dove into those issues, as well as Premier Doug Ford’s push to eliminate photo radar. We also looked at local news, including Webster St. tenants winning a renoviction court case, Fanshawe College support staff going on strike, and St. Joseph’s Health Care adopting out dogs used in medical research. Finally, we turned to artificial intelligence, with Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton warning of mass unemployment as AI spreads — and we focused on its impact in the music world.

On today’s edition of The Morning Show Podcast, we look at Premier Doug Ford’s push to scrap speed cameras despite strong public support, and hear from London resident Teresa McLellan about growing concerns over neighbourhood speeding. We learn about Scott McCallum’s third annual fundraiser to send aid to Ukraine, and Rabbi Raphael Shore’s new film Tragic Awakening that explores the origins and impacts of antisemitism. Mackenzie Machado joins us to talk about the return of Kicks for Strength, a mental health fundraiser inspired by her cousin Cameron. We wrap up with a study that suggests music may ease car sickness, the surprising return of landlines with Wi-Fi, and Uber’s move to accept cash payments.
