This week on NOW and NEXT:Great to have Barb DiGuilio and Kym Geddes return to the N&N podcast!

  • Barb and Kym riff on the state of NEW media post secondary education programs. Are there any jobs for grads coming out of the broadcast and journalism streams? You might be surprised.
  • Taylor Swift descends on Toronto in a few weeks. She's not just a force of nature in the entertainment and music industry, her presence has forced a major infrastructure upgrade in downtown Toronto!
  • META has fired a numnber of employees, some making healthy six-figure salaries, because they misused $20 or $25 food coupons.
  • Will the cult of Justin Trudeau lead to an extinction event for federal Liberals in the soon-to-come national general election?
  • Catholic school board trustees offer a mea culpa after spending $145k on a trip to Italy to buy religious art for a new school. Is saying sorry "enough" or should the "penance" be tougher?
  • And heading into the final days of the US Presidential campaign, Harris goes head to head at FOX while Trump takes the opportunity to tell profane jokes at a major Catholic charity event in New York City.
