It had been an exciting 24 hours with the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau -- who was down the street trying in vain to save his job at the annual Regatta --  stopping by to say hello to the cast and crew.Back in August, few suspected how Trudeau's fortunes might change in six months.

This episode is the second to feature a cast member from Season 4 of Son of a Critch: none other than the son himself, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth. Ainsworth, of course, plays young Mark Critch, circa 1990, on the CBC sitcom. The episode was recorded last summer on location in St. John's, Nfld. Ainsworth was shooting a scene on a residential street closed off for the production. Also there was Sophia Powers, who plays Mark's girlfriend Fox.The two are trying to navigate high school this season, with scenes shot right in series' co-creator Mark Critch's old high school in St. John's.It is fun to hear Ainsworth speak in his own lilting Liverpudlian tongue during this interview. He and his famous co-star, the great Malcolm McDowell, are often at the Duke of Duckworth, cheering on their favourite football club.Ainsworth also talks about his upcoming feature film "Everything's Going to Be Great" which costars Bryan Cranston and Allison Janney.Special note: at the end of this episode, listen for a tribute to one of my high school pals, Stephen Dudley. I recently learned that this brilliant pianist, whose music can be heard on most of these episodes, passed away late last December. Here, in a cassette recording made exactly 50 years ago, he gifts a folk night crowd with one of his own compositions. Stephen was 67.

This is a re-posting of Episode 59 due to audio problems with the original posting. Fructose is sweeter than glucose and is often added to processed foods as a sweetener, commonly in the form of high-fructose corn syrup. Some studies suggest that fructose consumption may be associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and some new research, recently presented at ENDO, addresses this issue. Host Aaron Lohr talks with one of the authors of this research, Theodore Friedman, MD, PhD, chairman of internal medicine at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine & Science and professor of medicine at University of California, Los Angeles. Dr. Friedman and colleagues’ oral presentation at ENDO 2022 is titled, “Fructose Consumption in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in U.S. Adult Population of NHANES 17-18” (NHANES being a national health and nutrition examination survey).
