This week on Driving Law, Kyla Lee and Paul Doroshenko discuss Vancouver's decision to extend bar hours to 4 a.m., raising concerns about transit access and impaired driving enforcement at a time when the city's traffic unit is severely depleted. They explore how the change could affect public safety, particularly in the absence of roadblocks and routine DUI checks. Next, they examine a series of questionable policing decisions involving Constable Keith McCready of the Prince George RCMP, including issuing IRPs in odd circumstances. Public backlash intensified after an arson site near a weigh scale was tagged with graffiti: “Good job McCready.” Kyla and Paul reflect on community trust, internal misconduct, and the difficulty of holding officers accountable. They also dissect a troubling video from Florida showing a Black man violently pulled from his car during a traffic stop despite being compliant—another example of systemic issues in policing. The Ridiculous Driver of the Week is a man in Brampton caught on video speeding along a sidewalk in a Lexus to skip traffic. In a bonus local story, a Vancouver man with a handicap placard was filmed illegally dumping a mattress in a public park.

SummaryIn this week's episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Daniel Koonce, Caleb Talley, and Jeff Amerine dive deep into the topics of screen time, digital distraction, and addictive technologies with Ian McCready, founder of selfctrl. Ian's journey is as relatable as it is eye-opening—once addicted to video games himself, he now leads a nonprofit aimed at helping kids and parents reclaim their time and mental wellbeing in the age of endless scrolling and instant dopamine hits.Through candid stories, Ian shares how recognizing the negative impact of his gaming habit (sometimes up to 14 hours a day in college) prompted a complete lifestyle shift. He ultimately launched selfctrl, dedicated to equipping both youth and adults with the skills and frameworks to develop healthier relationships with screens. From school assemblies to workshops for parents, Ian and his team offer practical, actionable steps for families feeling overwhelmed by technology.What's striking is the universality of the challenge. Ian highlights stories ranging from elementary-age children struggling to put down YouTube to adults admitting addiction to mobile games and social media. Listeners will find both comfort and motivation in Ian's advice: set limits, seek real-life community, and be transparent about struggles. The conversation concludes with a powerful reminder about the value of relationships and human connection, something screens can't replace.

Matt and Luke are back aboard their TV Time Machine to journey back to June of 2000. June isn't a great time for television, and the four shows that debuted back in 2000 are proof of that. There's McCready and Daughter which is the first post EastEnders role for Patsy Palmer. Then there's BBC comedy Chambers which was a studio based sitcom about a law chambers which stars a post Corrie Sarah Lancashire, strange ITV comedy Up Rising about a neighbourhood and its residents. Finally, Alan Davies stars in BBC comedy A Many Spilntered Thing about a man who moans about having two women in his life. It's a strange, and quite frankly instantly forgettable set of shows but it's always interesting to look back at what works and what doesn't about these shows that have disappeared.

“A Place Where There Are Not Words” is episode 27, emerging from one of several encounters with Elin McCready in Tokyo. Besides researching language inside and outside of academia, she's a member of the collectives WAIFU and SLICK. I met Elin during my first few weeks in Japan. I also remember the nuance Elin made regarding safe spaces. It is not the same to say “a safe space to” or “a safe space from.” She would also tell me that identity politics are one thing and personal interactions are quite another. The way in which these contradict each other is something that comes up in many conversations with friends. It often reminds me of an idea by val flores, which I saw expressed in Tokyo with a vivid image of snow on a cherry blossom tree. We must learn to live with contradictory instructions. Our conversation for this podcast started with the Fueiho Law. It was introduced in 1948 to police nightlife in Japan, banning dancing at specific hours. The club scene in Japan is all about music, as Elin says. Dancing does not mean the same thing in every city, venue or moment in life. A rave is political if its ravers do political action. The same goes for art. Editing the podcast of someone who is so conscious of language, created even more questions. Each voice is a collection of many others. I also believe that we have many voices within us, even contradictory ones.

The BBC board has apologised over "missed opportunities" to tackle "bullying and misogynistic behaviour" by the former BBC Radio 1 DJ Tim Westwood. Nuala discusses with BBC correspondent ChiChi Izundu. Same Dress Different Bodies began when fashion-loving friends Laura Adlington and Lottie Drynan realised they were both having problems finding clothes they felt comfortable in, Lottie because of bloating caused by IBS, and Laura because she was limited by what was available in plus sizes. They tell Nuala about turning their positive approach to fashion into a live show.The mother of the Royal Artillery Gunner Jaysley Beck, who took her own life, tried to discourage her from joining the army. Assistant Coroner Nicholas Rheinberg ruled Jaysley died by suicide and that the Army's handling of a sexual assault complaint against Battery Sergeant Major Michael Webber was ‘more than a minimal contributory part in her death'. She was later subjected to relentless harassment by her line manager, Former Bombardier Ryan Mason. He sent her over 4,600 messages confessing his feelings for her and showed her a 15 page love story about her. The Army's failure to take action after she was harassed by him also contributed to her death. Her mother LeighAnn McCready tells us about her daughter and the army's investigation.Fatma Said is a renowned classical singer – she was the first Egyptian soprano to perform on La Scala's famous stage in Milan. She has also sung alongside Elton John and Ed Sheeran and was the first female artist to perform at the Grand Egyptian Museum in 2023. Fatma sings in several languages, and her albums span an eclectic mix of genres: El Nour celebrated her cultural heritage, and Kaleidoscope, featured everything from opera to Whitney Houston. She joins Nuala to discuss her latest album – Lieder - in which she turns to 19th Century German romantic music.Presented by Nuala McGovern. Produced by Melanie Abbott.
This episode jumps into a tour year that we don't often talk about on the pod - the final year of the Backspacer tour in 2012. This year featured 13 shows over in Europe and a few additional festival shows in the US, and for this one we'll cover the show that kicked off the entire year in Manchester, UK. No, it's probably not the Manchester show that you'd think. We're not covering the show that features the one and only performance of Hitchhiker. But there are plenty of things about this show worthy of conversation, performance wise and storyline wise. In Pearl Jam's history, there's been somewhat of a stigma that surrounds two different types of shows - tour openers and night ones. This show happens to be both. The stigma about tour openers is that they can tend to come off a little bit flat, there's a concern over the equipment sounding the way it needs to sound and the fact that there is usually a somewhat significant time frame since the last performance. Night ones can sometimes have a very similar reputation as well, as many people consider night two as the show where they'll bust out rarities and surprises. We'll take a chunk of time at the beginning of the episode talking about how the band has essentially worked on erasing these stigmas within the last few tour years, with the band pulling out very solid tour opening shows as well as some night one shows that were far better than their night two counterparts. And yes, getting into the performances too! We'll spend time talking about how and why Stone overpowered McCready on the big time songs at this show such as Even Flow and Porch, and get into a short take on a great song from a hometown Manchester band that has relevance in the Pearl Jam canon.
