September 7, 2025 - 2:00PM
Longtime colleagues and lifelong friends Steve Paikin and Bruce Dowbiggin share 35+ years of stories from their broadcasting and journalism careers, plus the twenty books they’ve collectively written! Steve and Bruce co-hosted the Double Play radio show on The Fan 590 and worked together at CBC-Toronto. They’ll share their positive (and not-so-positive) interactions with well-known athletes and politicians, along with tales from Steve’s 19 years hosting TVO’s The Agenda and Bruce’s days as a columnist at the Globe & Mail and Calgary Herald. Keeping them ‘on task’ will be host Andrew Applebaum from the Toronto Legends podcast. This incredible experience will also include a meet and greet, photo opportunity, and book signing.

He currently co-hosts the #onpoli podcast, writes a weekly column for TVO’s website, and is the bestselling author of nine books.

Bruce is a two-time winner on CBC TV of the Gemini Award as Canada's top television sports broadcaster, a regular media contributor to the Calgary Herald and the Globe & Mail, and the website editor of Not The Public Broadcaster. Bruce is also the bestselling author of eleven books.
