We kick off Season 11 with the question: “what have we learned so far?” Our listeners chimed in with their comments and Christopher and Tom expound on lessons both sublime and absurd. Then, we get to the good stuff, with an incredible lost 1993 interview with Paul McCartney that was only discovered in the Famous Lost Words archives a few weeks ago! Paul talks about how he chooses what songs to play in concert, how The Beatles would hash out songs in the studio, plus his dedication to vegetarianism and environmental causes. It’s an excellent chat with Paul and interviewer Dale Smith, a Beatles fan who is totally in his element. Then, Tom & Christopher share some Cool Song Facts about the Beatles post breakup. This is when things were getting pretty ugly between the Fab Four. Nevertheless, there are touching moments too, like when Paul helped out George during his final weeks. And we end things off with a tribute to the R&B vocal groups from the early days of rock and roll. Ben E. King talks about his days with The Drifters, Leon Hughes reflects on the hitmaking days of The Coasters, and in a rare audio clip, Frankie Lymon talks about his music career. Famous Lost Words, hosted by Christopher Ward and Tom Jokic, is heard in more than 100 countries worldwide and on radio stations across Canada, including Newstalk 1010 Toronto, CJAD 800 Montreal, 580 CFRA Ottawa, AM 800 CKLW Windsor, 610 CKTB St Catharines, CFAX Victoria, AM1150 Kelowna and 91x in Belleville. It is in the Top 20% of worldwide podcasts based on the number of listeners in the first week.

The CEO of Groupe Dynamite says he is considering moving his businesses to the United States amid concerns that Quebec’s rigid immigration policies pose a huge risk to his operations. Are Quebec politics moving to the right - at least economically? The word of the moment as the National Assembly gears up for its next session appears to be “efficiency” - with almost all the parties talking about it. The sun is setting on the second Valerie Plante/Projet Montreal term in office, but that hasn’t stopped the party from spending on what some are calling frivolous travel.

Elias Makos welcomes back Justine McIntyre, Strategic consultant and former city councillor, and Meeker Guerrier, Commentator at Noovo and RDS. Jimmy Kimmel made his return to late night television on Tuesday night. Over the course of an 18-minute monologue, TV host did spend some time trying to make amends for his controversial comments on the killing of Charlie Kirk. Three days after a 15-year-old was killed by police in Longueil, there are many more questions than answers. Dirty politics at play in the Montreal municipal election? On Monday, Mayor Valerie Plante dropped that Craig Sauvé – who’s running for mayor under his Transition Montreal banner – tried to get back into the Projet Montreal caucus in July.

Prime Minister Mark Carney unveiled yesterday the first plans for his ‘Build Canada Homes’ program. After demanding his ministers to find a way to cut spending inside multiple areas of government, we are now learning that projections for the next federal budget will see a deficit of around $100 billion. The Journal de Montreal reports today that nearly 90 percent of fraud cases reported to police result in no charges being laid. As we approach the changing of the clocks on November 2nd, it seems doubtful that Quebec will move forward with eliminating the time change.
