Now or Never

You vs Everybody: How far would you go to compete?


Listen Later

The fire to compete can drive you to push against your limits, and go further than you knew possible. On this episode of Now or Never, competitive hosts Ify Chiwetelu and Trevor Dineen introduce you to people vying to win, and putting in the work to come out on top. 


Identical twins Miriam and Ruth Turk have been competing with each other for as long as they remember. So what happened when they faced each other for gold in freestyle wrestling at the Manitoba Winter Games? And who do their super competitive parents cheer for?


Dave Sproull has been playing darts for over a decade, but having recently turned 55 - and having experienced a serious and life-altering illness - he’s finally getting serious about competition, and is determined to earn a spot on the Darts World Rankings.


For as long as he can remember, Aaron Brown has dreamed of competing on his favourite gameshow, Jeopardy. He walked around with a clicker and quit his day job to host weekly quiz nights in Toronto. So what happened when Aaron finally made it on as a contestant to the real-life Jeopardy? 


K-pop has taken the world by storm, and Toronto’s Hyun Byun is determined to make his mark in it. When he’s not studying as a high school student, he’s busy practicing his singing and dancing in hopes of becoming a K-pop idol. Not many people make it big – but, Hyun says failure doesn’t feel like an option. 


Plus a new contest where you can win a pair of tickets to Now or Never’s live show in Winnipeg, and music from Cameron Whitcomb and Boy Golden.
