Scott Radley Show

The Hamilton Police Service has recommended against the introduction of a pilot program for body cameras. There are points for and against but there's no denying that this will cost a lot of money to implement. Are body cameras worth trying or will they be doing nothing more than remove privacy? Guest: Clint Twolan, President of the Hamilton Police Association - Everyone knows about or at least has heard that Don Cherry has been fired. The question now stands, who should replace him? Should Coach's Corner be scrapped altogether? Guest: Rick Zamperin, Sports Director at Global News Radio 900 CHML - James Dean is back from the dead! Or at least you'd think that if you go to see a movie that's set to come out called, 'Finding Jack'. Should actors be fearing for their jobs or is this just a gimmick? Guest: Robert Thompson, Director of the Bleier Centre for Television and Popular Culture

A motion to declare an opioid overdose emergency in Hamilton is set to go forth in front of Hamilton City Council. What would this declaration actually accomplish if it gets made? Guest: Sam Merulla, Ward 4 Councillor - Why do politicians love to stand in front of nearly everything new or recently refurbished and cut the ribbon? Part of their job is to ensure these construction projects actually get done and they seem to want praise from everyone and everything for doing it correctly. Why? - The Premier of Saskatchewan. Scott Moe, had a meeting with the Prime Minister but apparently it didn't go as planned. What happened and how will it affect our future? Guest: David Akin, Global News' Chief Political Correspondent - Where should NBA scouts be looking for new talent? What should be thought about Don Cherry's firing? And most importantly, what kind of sugary cereal did you have growing up? Scott and Bubba O'Neil answer these questions and more. Guest: Bubba O'Neil, Sports Anchor at CHCH

Today Scott had a chat with Rob Golfi of Remax Escarpment and the Golfi team, to talk about the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation downgrading Hamilton in its "risk assessment."   It's Holocaust education week and the last of the holocaust survivors are dying, so Scott talks with Gustavo Rymberg CEO of the Hamilton Jewish Federation about the implications.   And on a brighter note, Scott brings Jamie West of West Pro Media in to talk about a possible change to the Amber Alerts and maybe changing yearbook photos to yearbook selfies.

With Commonwealth Games Canada talks getting louder, Hamilton has to wonder: what happens in the leadup? And more importantly, what's the cost? Jasper Kujavsky joins Scott to discuss. Two McMaster students are taking perfectly good food that's been thrown out and they are using it to feed the less fortunate through Meals With a Purpose. Join Scott in talking to Hardil Bhatt and Heidi Yin.   Americans really do not understand why Kawhi Leonard would sit down for load management, so Bubba O'Neil joins Scott to shed some light on why that might be.

Today on a very special episode of the Scott Radley show, John Paul Danko talks about avoiding a 5.5% tax increase in Hamilton by limiting trash pickup to once every two weeks.    Scott and a panel of judges sit down to judge Novemburger offerings with representatives from The Coop, Earls, Electric Diner, The Barton General, HAMBRGR, The Harbour Diner, and Kelsey's.   For more information and a full menu, check out http://novemburger.ca/ it helps the kids!

"A bid proposal for the 2030 Commonwealth Games says Hamilton should turn Bayfront Park into an island to flush out the algae-plagued harbour and make it safe for swimmers." (published by The Hamilton Spectator) Chris McLaughlin joins Scott to discuss the possibility of the island. - Would you pay to take a nap? Nap it Up has just opened it's doors in Toronto.

There's a billion dollar up for grabs that's available for municipalities to use to offset the costs of infrastructure courtesy of the provincial and federal government. All the municipalities have to do is ask for it, simple as that. The only catch is that the provincial and federal governments get to choose who gets the money they need. In a city that has many ridings often held by parties who don't form the government, how does that impact us? Guest: Chad Collins, Ward 5 councillor - With streaming services all over the place, we are watching different shows on different services all from the comfort of our homes. Are we witnessing the death of the movie theatre? Guest: Scott Henderson, Head of Durham Campus of Trent University - You know the history and traditions of Christmas, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, Thanksgiving and more however you may not be as well versed in the traditions of Halloween and where they come from. Well have no fear because Scott and Ben talk all about exactly that to get you up

You owe more than you think. That's what GenerationScrewed.ca is trying to say as the federal and provincial governments keep tacking more and more on to the amount of debt Canadians are paying for. How much longer can we go on for until people realize this problem? Guest: Kris Rondolo, Executive Director of GenerationScrewed.ca - Municipal governments are legally disallowed to run a deficit and that's why you'll likely be paying more taxes this year whereas the federal government and provincial government can run a budget that's balanced, a deficit or a surplus. Should we force the provincial and federal governments to balance the budget by law? - We often hear that we don't want people to cheat in sports but that never seems to be the case when a star player gets caught for something. This issue and more are discussed when Bubba O'Neil joins Scott to talk about everything going on in the sports world. Guest: Bubba O'Neil, Sports Anchor at CHCH

ParticipACTION has released a report card for the adults of Canada. An 'F' in achieving at least 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise and a 'D' for overall physical fitness. How does this lack of exercise realistically affect our health? Guest: Dr. Martin Gibala, Professor of Kinesiology at McMaster University - She's one of Canada's most accomplished musical artists and she's coming to Hamilton for a concert on Halloween. How did a vet student travel the world, get inspired by the history of the Celts and create music that's sold over 14 million albums? Guest: Loreena McKennitt, award-winning musician and composer - A studio full of people joins Scott to talk about the Karaoke World Championships. The Canadian champions in the duet category are from Hamilton and Brampton which begs the question, how will these talented singers wow the karaoke world on the international stage? Guests: Kate Dion & Candace Miles, 2019 Canada Duet's Champions             Dr. Sharon Quinn, KWC Canada National Direc

We heard that the legal marijuana industry would be raking in money from every avenue but as we go on a year and a month since legalization, it hasn't boomed like people thought. What's causing this and what does the future hold for legal marijuana? Guest: Marvin Ryder, Professor of Marketing at McMaster's DeGroote School of Business - Do the Toronto Maple Leafs have a style of play that can take them to the Stanley Cup finals?

Alberta's provincial government has released the cuts it'll be making to the budget and Albertans are welcoming it with open arms. How is it that it's fine when Alberta does it but when it happens in Ontario, the pitchforks and torches start coming out? Guest: Matt Gurney, National Post Columnist - A massive renovation is coming to EPCOT. Although it isn't know how many millions of dollars The Walt Disney Company will sink into the edu-tainment centre, the question of how a construction project like this might affect the other parks has to be asked along with what the future of EPCOT holds. Guest: Lena Almeida, Travel writer and blogger - The drummer of the E Street Band and also the leader of Conan O'Brien's live band is coming to Burlington for a unique experience called Max Weinberg's Jukebox. The catch with this kind of concert is you choose the songs and can enjoy it this Sunday at the Burlington Performing Arts Centre. Guest: Max Weinberg, professional drummer & star of Max Weinberg's Jukebox

After taking a look at what the federal candidates were and weren't saying throughout the election, it was interesting to see how some of the candidates seemed to pull punches and never fully say what they wanted to while others did say what they want and it turned out favourably for them. Should politicians just say what they mean regardless of it may offend someone? Also, how long will the new Liberal minority government last? Guest: Stephen LeDrew, commentator & former president of the Liberal party - You've likely heard the phrase, "I'm just not a math person," as the reason for someone not being good at math or for stopping attempts at getting better at it altogether. How true is that phrase and could there be a link between it and the reason why some countries seem to develop people who excel in school? Guest: Vanessa Vakharia, author, podcaster and founder of 'The Math Guru' - Everyone has come to know and love the Zamboni. Synonymous with skating, hockey and the ice rink as a whole, this machine

We've heard about the growing anger out west but do people living elsewhere in Canada truly understand the severity of that anger? Guest: David Staples, Columnist at the Edmonton Journal - After being re-elected, NDP MP Scott Duvall speaks with Scott about how he felt things went in his riding during the election and more. Guest: Scott Duvall, NDP MP for Hamilton Mountain - LeBron James posted something online in an attempt at social activism with regards to the Hong Kong protesters however it blew up in his face. Should athletes do things like this or should they do their job and not publicly comment on social issues? Guest: Rick Zamperin, Sports Director at 900 CHML
