Tobin welcomes Rick Campanelli back to the show to discuss what he has been up to since episode 48. The last time we chatted with Rick we discussed his Much Music career and transition into ET Canada. We touch a little on this but the majority of this episode is just two guys chatting about what they have learned from their time in media and Rick offers some insight on building relationships with the acts so the tough questions don't need to be a blindside.

We also discuss Rick's goals for 2022, his new radio gig at Z103.5, live interviews, and the Much Music VJ search. I know it's a bit random but that's what you get when you have conversations. Hey we also talk about kidney stones, bet you didn't expect that.

Tobin chats with Canadian Curler and fellow Newfoundlander, Brad Gushue on his path back to the Olympics. It has been 16 years since Gushue has represented Canada at the Olympics and this time it is different. It's a pandemic, he has children, he is more experienced, and has some new faces on his team, how will that all factor in, we find out from the source.

Gushue also talks about how the team is prepping on and off the ice. His team is in isolation in Vancouver leading up to the games. All members of the team are isolated in the same house, it sounds like a great reality show, Big Brother Newfoundland. How is Brad handling it? Is he calm cool and collected or was this interview his way of getting some quiet time from the boys?

Tobin puts his Carleton University/ University of Ottawa rivalry aside for this episode and welcomes Canadian Curler, Rachel Homan. The two talk about what it means to represent Canada in the Beijing Olympics. Rachel discusses how the decision came about for Curling Canada to pick and send her and John Morris to Bejing, considering there was no tournament to see who would represent Canada, and she discusses the tough decision of whether she should go or stayed with her team to try and win a Scotties as she felt if she left, her team would not be eligible to play.

We also talk about how she became a curler, her relationship with John Morris, and have some fun talking about what Rachel plans to do in Beijing.

Tobin chats with Canadian Broadcast Legend, Brian Williams about his career in broadcasting, the Olympic Games in Bejing, and his retirement. Brian takes us down memory lane of his coverage of so many Olympic Games and what his memorable moments were. The Men's Team Canada Hockey team ended the 50-year gold medal drought, the Bronze that felt like a Gold for Women's Soccer in London 2012 and of course Vancouver 2010, my personal favorites as they were held right here in our backyard and unlike Calgary and Montreal, we walked away with the most gold medals in a Winter Olympics not only by a host nation but all time and it concluded with Crosbys OT Winner.

Brian talks about all these things and even gives some advice to young journalists who want to be in the field. What a way to kick-off 2022. Enjoy the episode!
