The wickedly talented, remarkably hungover Christian McCann drops back into the pod to talk about his only personality trait: hockey. If you like insurance fraud, broadway plays, or describing labor stoppages using the imagery of an ancient greek myth turned modern broadway musical....you're soooo in luck! This one has three pretty clear acts. Act 1: about 18 minutes of trying our best to choke out any words through the thickened hazy fog of a Disonysian-level hangover. Act 2: The NHLPA's founding executive director, Alan Eagleson, committing a litany of crimes against the players he was meant to represent. Act 3: The introduction of the salary cap -- a move that limits a lot of player's maximum earning potential -- in 2005, as told through poetic and beautiful storytelling. Thanks for listening!

It's being called a big win for fans of the "beautiful game." The international soccer world was rocked earlier this week when twelve of Europe's top clubs announced their intention to form a new super league, however, the upstart move prompted a swift and strong backlash. From fans to players to politicians, there was widespread condemnation. Many of the teams have now withdrawn from the group, leaving the proposal in shambles. It's a big contrast in the way sports teams and leagues are organized in North America but Bruce Dowbiggin says how we watch sports and what teams get to succeed and survive could be a point of contention in the years to come.

Militarised A.I and weapons- Ethics debate A.I- artificial intelligence, it can be a real benefit, but like many past inventions never intended for military use, AI too can become "weaponised". (image via CBC) Google recently released a statement of ethics for its ongoing development of artificial intelligence. This comes after internal resistance from its own staff to projects with the U.S military. Google will not end all A.I. contracts with the military, but no longer work on those which will cause harm. Is this really enough, especially when other companies are likely to move in on lucrative military contracts, and also when many past non-military inventions have been turned into weaponry.
