Terry Dimonte and I get together every year for a Christmas episode. We recorded this in early December before a scheduled trip with his wife Jessica to England.
They reminisce about their radio days, including Terry's time at CITI FM, CHOM-FM and his experiences with new wave music. Both of us watched the show and loved it. Here is the Trailer.
They also discuss the decline of traditional radio, the rise of podcasts, and the importance of local community connections. Terry highlights the success of his local podcast, "The Standing By Podcast," and its growing audience. They conclude with reflections on their upcoming trip to England and their love for Christmas traditions.
Right off the top of the show, Terry explains why did not have his usual year end meeting with the Prime Minister. Sadly, Terry felt he needed to explain why the show was not happening this year - because of all the keyboard warriors who would be willing to draw their own conclusions.
It's a shame that that needed to be explained as well as call out the anti-semitism that has become pervasive in our society; alongside the piss-poor media coverage of the anti-semitic acts. Check out this gem from CTV Montreal where inanimate objects are blamed for the attack on a synagogue on Montreal's West Island. Clearly this was written by someone who got their degree in DEI Headline writing from Concordia University (aka Taliban U since 2002).
Anyhow here's hoping more things like missiles, cars and airplanes don't target places of worship in 2025. As for CTV News enjoy it while you can, it will not be here much longer at this rate.
