For the Record continues to get record downloads as the popular podcast probes into interesting New West issues that are making national headlines this week!That's right, the National Post, City News, CKNW and a range of high profile social media platforms were covering the controversy regarding the removal of New West's crown logo. Out with the crown, in with the tugboat. So far, the public reaction has been decidedly negative, but Community First doesn't appear willing to back down. In fact, they're doubling down! Listen to a province-wide interview Mike Smyth featured which focused on the logo controversy. Callers to the show had a few pointed comments to make about the Royal City's mayor and his commitment to dump the crown. You're out of order!! Next up is an exclusive interview with School District #40 Trustee Kathleen Carlsen. She speaks about her recent advocacy to raise the plight of New Westminster students and teachers forced to learn in overheating portables. Carlsen was featured on CTV, Global and City News this week. Her opinion piece co-authored with Trustee Danielle Connelly was prominently featured in the Vancouver Sun. We also share an excerpt of an interview Trustee Connelly did with AM 730 host Jill Bennett. She too is speaking about concerns regarding a lack of school capacity and the impacts it's having on students, teachers and their parents. It's official! Now that Council has passed a motion introduced by Coun. Paul Minhas, the month of April will forevermore be designated as Sikh Heritage Month. Minhas speaks about what motivated him to initiate the motion and what it means to the local Sikh community in New West. The podcast wraps up with a tribute to King Charles who recently delivered the Speech from the Throne at the invitation of Prime Minister Carney.

Rich Elwood was a Vancouver radio personality, actor, stand-up comedian and comedy club owner. His comedy career started doing Bill Cosby routines in front of his Grade 7 class and he polished his act in Toronto's notorious Yonge Street strip clubs. "They were a good training ground," he told the Vancouver Sun's Lee Bacchus, "You would have about 200 guys out there all yelling 'Bring out the broads!' You had to be good or you'd be doing the last 10 minutes to heckles and boos." Rich says, "Doing standup was always a blast. However, bands typically didn't care for standup warmups. In one case, the last thing they said to me before going on was 'Keep it short and don't touch our equipment.' I was only going to do five minutes and would not need to touch their gear, but it became a twenty minute set that ended in me giving myself a cymbal crash. 'Don't say don't to a comedian', I said to them coming off. I opened for many acts over the years including Tom Jones (a class guy and very gracious), The Righteous Brothers (quiet but nice), Howie Mandel (a super person and very funny), Dennis Miller (very bright), The Temptations (very cool people) and Ray Charles, who was so nice to me and I was very much in awe of him. Man, did he have stories!" Punchline's was the first real comedy club in Vancouver. Robin Williams, Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey, Norm Macdonald, Howie Mandel and other greats all headlined. Rich also opened the door to up-and-coming comics Ryan Stiles, Rick Ducommun, Patrick McKenna and many more. His Vancouver radio career in Vancouver included CFUN (as DJ Rich Kelly) and CKNW as a talk show host. He was MC for Red's 50th Anniversary In Radio celebration in 2004, and he would also step in for Red on CISL's morning show. Among Rich's acting roles over the years was a part in Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore in the mid-1990s. After getting out of the club business, he was an in-demand corporate comic and producer. Rich wrote comedy for the hit political series Double Exposure, and he developed several TV projects with writing partner Patrick McKenna. Rich Elwood died on December 2, 2021 at the age of 67. Old friend John Oliver says, "One of the funniest people I have ever known and a true friend. A risk-taker, an entrepreneur who never quit in his efforts to bring quality comedy to Vancouver." Tom Jeffries replaced Rich at CFUN: "He was most gracious and we had so much fun when he ran Punchline's. A very talented and hilarious man ― I miss him. I was blessed to call him a friend." Recorded in Vancouver in 2013.

In this episode, I'm joined by Brian Antonson, co-author of Slumach's Gold: In Search of a Legend—and a Curse, to explore one of Canada's most enduring mysteries. For over a century, treasure hunters have sought the elusive gold said to be hidden deep in the mountains of British Columbia—a treasure protected by the deadly curse of Slumach, a man hanged in 1891. Why have so many vanished while searching for this fabled fortune? And what secrets does the legend hold? Join us as we uncover the truth behind the curse of Slumach's Gold. My Special Guest Is Brian Antonson A 'radio guy' by trade, Brian has spent a career in radio and in broadcast education, leading the faculty team in the Broadcast and Media Communications department at the British Columbia Institute of Technology, which has trained some of the leading broadcasters in British Columbia, Canada, and indeed, across the globe. Brian Antonson's latest book is Slumach's Gold: In Search of a Legend-and a Curse (Heritage House Publishers, 2024) co-authored with Mary Trainer and Rick Antonson. It is a significantly updated 3rd edition of a bestseller, in a striking new format. Brian co-founded Nunaga Publishing (later known as Antonson Publishing) with his brother Rick Antonson and their friend Mary Trainer in 1972. Together they published twenty-five books (focused on the outdoors, history, and national issues). Their co-authored first edition of "In Search of a Legend: Slumach's Gold," was released in 1972. The book was re-released in a much-expanded version in 2007. Brian was editor of Canadian Frontier magazine and later was co-editor (with Gordon Stewart) of the Canadian Frontier Annual (book) in 1976, 1977, 1978 and 1979. He is co-author of "Whistle Posts West: Railway Tales from British Columbia, Alberta and Yukon," published by Heritage House in 2015.
