Podcast appearances and mentions of Roy Thomson Hall

On this special edition of the Munk Debates podcast, we are bringing you the best moments from the Munk Debate on media bias, which took place in the fall of 2020 in front of a crowd of 3,000 people at Toronto’s Roy Thomson Hall. This is a debate that went viral on social media - it spoke to a vast number of people whose growing distrust in legacy media was finally being addressed. Recent polls show that one third of Americans have low confidence in the mainstream media, while another third distrust it altogether. Canadian polls show similar numbers. How did we get to this point? Listen to this debate to find out. Arguing in favour of the resolution, Be it Resolved, don’t trust mainstream media, was the associate editor of The Spectator magazine, Fox News contributor, and bestselling author Douglas Murray. He was joined on stage by Substack publishing sensation, former Rolling Stone contributing editor, and investigative journalist, Matt Taibbi Arguing against the resolution was the internationally acclaimed author, podcaster and veteran New Yorker staff writer, Malcolm Gladwell. His debate partner was Michelle Goldberg, New York Times columnist and MSNBC contributor.

Liberal democracy has long been credited with the West’s economic development, social tolerance, personal freedoms, and the rule of law. And yet, in recent years, it's been blamed for everything from growing inequality, environmental degradation, political polarization, and cultural fragmentation. Its critics argue that liberalism’s failure to meet the moment has fueled trust societies and given rise to populist movements in the US, England, France, Germany, and even Canada. Is it time for a new, animating ideology? On this special edition of the Munk Debates podcast, we seek to answer this question featuring the best moments from the Munk Debate on the Crisis of Liberalism, which took place in the fall of 2023 in front of a sold out crowd of 3,000 people at Toronto’s Roy Thomson Hall. The debate resolution was: Be it resolved, liberalism gets the big questions right Arguing for the motion was the controversial former British M.P. and cabinet minister, Jacob Rees-Mogg. He was joined by the American writer and columnist who has shaped a generation’s thinking on the important issues of our time: George F. Will. Opposing the motion was U.K. journalist, self-avowed communist and popular leftist thinker, Ash Sarkar. Her debating partner was the disruptive and thought-provoking American social conservative, Sohrab Ahmari, author of the bestseller Tyranny Inc.: How Private Power Crushed American Liberty.

Aubrey Drake Graham, known professionally as Drake, is a Canadian rapper and singer born on October 24, 1986. He is a significant figure in contemporary popular music, credited for popularizing singing and R&B elements in hip hop. Drake first gained attention starring in the teen drama series "Degrassi: The Next Generation," after which he pursued a music career, releasing his debut mixtape in 2006. His early albums, "Thank Me Later," "Take Care," and "Nothing Was the Same," were critical successes that propelled him to hip hop prominence. Drake's recent EP, "Scary Hours 3," marks the third installment in his ongoing EP series. It was written and recorded over a span of five days following the release of his album "For All the Dogs." Drake emphasized that the tracks on "Scary Hours 3" were entirely new creations, not leftovers from previous sessions. The project was revealed through an Instagram video featuring Drake as a lone audience member at an orchestral performance in Toronto's Roy Thomson Hall. "Evil Ways," a track from Drake's eighth solo album "For All the Dogs," features a collaboration with J. Cole. This song marks their first collaboration since 2019's "Jodeci Freestyle." In "Evil Ways," both artists assert their status in the rap industry, with Cole opening the song and Drake finishing it solo. The lyrics are characterized by a blend of self-assertion and bravado, with each artist discussing their impact and legacy in the music industry. The production, involving a beat switch, was handled by Tay Keith, Vinylz, Boi-1da, OZ, Coleman Name, and FNZ. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Introducing him at the United States Senate in 2015, Ted Cruz called Mark Steyn "an international bestselling author, a Top Five jazz recording artist, and a leading Canadian human rights activist". All of which happens to be true. Mark is the author of After America, which was a Top Five bestseller in the United States and a Number One bestseller in Canada; America Alone: The End Of The World As We Know It, a New York Times bestseller in the United States and a Number One bestseller in Canada; and his most recent bestseller, The [Un]documented Mark Steyn. His most recent CD is his cat album, dedicated to his own beloved cat Marvin: Feline Groovy: Songs for Swingin' Cats was a Number One jazz bestseller, a Top Twenty album on the Billboard chart, and a Top Thirty album on Amazon's pop chart. "A Marshmallow World", his Christmas single with Jessica Martin, reached Number Seven on Amazon's easy listening bestsellers, and Number 41 on their main pop chart. Their subsequent full-length Christmas album, Making Spirits Bright, reached Number Four on the jazz chart. "Nine Lives", the song he co-wrote with Kevin Amos, was a Top Thirty smash on the Moldovan Hit Parade. Thank you, Moldova! Steyn's human rights campaign to restore free speech to Canada led to the repeal by Parliament of the notorious "Section 13" hate-speech law, a battle he recounts in his book Lights Out: Islam, Free Speech And The Twilight Of The West. Mark hosts The Mark Steyn Show, which airs every evening Monday to Thursday. He also presents Steyn's Song of the Week every Sunday afternoon on Serenade Radio. In New York he can be heard with his longtime EIB comrade, Bo Snerdley, every Tuesday on 77 WABC. For a decade and a half until Rush's death, Mark was a hugely popular guest-host of America's Number One radio show The Rush Limbaugh Program. He was also a favorite guest-host of America's Number One cable show Tucker Carlson Tonight, and hosted its lead-in-show Fox News Primetime. He regularly drew some of the highest ratings in all US television as a host for Tucker and other top shows. With fans around the world, Steyn has appeared on stages across the planet from Toronto's Roy Thomson Hall to the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. His 2016 nationwide tour of Australia was sold out coast to coast. He has spoken in the Canadian Parliament, the Ontario Parliament, the Danish Parliament, and the Australian Parliament, where he was introduced by the then Foreign Minister, Julie Bishop. Over the years, Mark's writing on politics, arts and culture has been published in almost every major newspaper around the English-speaking world, including Britain's Daily Telegraph, Canada's National Post, The Australian, The Irish Times, The Jerusalem Post, The Wall Street Journal, and many more. Mark's other books include A Song For The Season, Mark Steyn's Passing Parade, Mark Steyn From Head To Toe and The Face Of The Tiger. His personal view of musical theatre, Broadway Babies Say Goodnight, is an acknowledged classic published to critical acclaim in London, and to somewhat sniffier notices in New York. https://www.steynonline.com/ https://twitter.com/marksteynonline   Freedom isn't free - James needs your support to continue creating The Delingpod.

A century ago, a group of music lovers established what would soon come to be known as the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. And during that time, the TSO has been delighting audiences, first at Massey Hall, and for the last 40 years at Roy Thomson Hall. The orchestra hired a dynamic new music director in 2020, just in time to see his first season cancelled because of COVID-19. Then its chief executive officer unexpectedly left. It's all par for the course in the wild world of classical music. To discuss the challenges of the last few years, and to mark the milestone anniversary, we welcome Maestro Gustavo Gimeno, and CEO Mark Williams.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is a special edition of the Munk Debates Podcast. On this episode, we feature the best moments from the Munk Debate on media bias, which took place in front of a crowd of 3,000 people at Toronto's Roy Thomson Hall. The debate resolution was: Be it resolved, don't trust mainstream media.  EPISODE SUMMARY: Public trust in mainstream media is at an all-time low. Critics point to coverage of COVID-19, the 2020 election, and the Ottawa trucker protest as proof that legacy outlets like the New York Times, The Globe and Mail and CNN can no longer be relied upon to provide unbiased reporting. Activist journalists are using pen and paper to push political agendas while their bosses lean into the profitability of polarization. Mainstream media's defenders argue that their institutions offer an invaluable public service that alternative outlets are either incapable or uninterested in providing: careful fact-based reporting on important issues and holding the powerful to account. In a brave new world of “fake news” and “drive by” journalism, traditional news organizations are essential to democracy and a bulwark against corruption, misinformation and the private interests of the powerful. THE DEBATERS: Arguing for motion was the associate editor of The Spectator Magazine, Fox News contributor, and bestselling author of The Madness of Crowds, Douglas Murray. He was joined on stage by Substack publishing sensation, former Rolling Stone columnist, and investigative journalist, Matt Taibbi. Arguing against the resolution was the internationally acclaimed author, podcaster and veteran New Yorker staff writer  Malcolm Gladwell. His debate partner was Michelle Goldberg, New York Times columnist, MSNBC contributor, former American Prospect senior correspondent and senior writer for The Nation.    The host of the Munk Debates is Rudyard Griffiths - @rudyardg.   Tweet your comments about this episode to @munkdebate or comment on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/munkdebates/ To sign up for a weekly email reminder for this podcast, send an email to podcast@munkdebates.com.   To support civil and substantive debate on the big questions of the day, consider becoming a Munk Member at https://munkdebates.com/membership Members receive access to our 10+ year library of great debates in HD video, a free Munk Debates book, newsletter and ticketing privileges at our live events.This podcast is a project of the Munk Debates, a Canadian charitable organization dedicated to fostering civil and substantive public dialogue - https://munkdebates.com/ Senior Producer: Ricki Gurwitz

We were at the premiere of Raymond & Ray at the Toronto International Film Festival to speak to the cast about this tragic but humorous film. The actors were excited to share this film on the big screen. We spoke with Ethan Hawke, Ewan McGregor, Maxim Swinton, composer Jeff Beals, producers Julie Lynn and Bonnie Curtis, and the writer/director of the film Rodrigo García. Hawke gets a little sentimental talking about what it was like working with actors he has known for over two decades and how excited he is for him and McGregor, who he says both have "great roles." Hawke talked about how relatable this film is because most of us have had to deal with real-life trauma or death, and he hopes people walk away from this film feeling a little less alone. McGregor also spoke about a "kindred spirit" between him and Hawke and what it was like shooting this intense but funny film. McGregor is excited for the world to see it and remember how precious life is. Host: Monica Gleberman Editor: Miranda Currier Social Media Graphic: Jojo -- Synopsis: “Raymond & Ray” follows half-brothers Raymond and Ray who have lived in the shadow of a terrible father. Somehow, they still each have a sense of humor, and his funeral is a chance for them to reinvent themselves. There's anger, there's pain, there's folly, there might be love, and there's definitely gravedigging. *Raymond & Ray will be screening all week at TIFF check out the schedule below, so make sure you head over to the website and purchase tickets: Monday, September 12th at 6:00 PM at Roy Thomson Hall, Tuesday, September 13th at 9:05 AM at Scotiabank 2, Saturday, September 17th at 9:00 AM at TIFF Bell Lightbox Cinema 1 Don't forget to follow us on Twitter @SilenceonSet and Instagram @SilenceonSetPod

Today marks the anniversary of the death of Jack Layton. He passed away from cancer on August 22, 2011, leaving a void in Canadian politics which will never be filled in quite the same way. Because Jack Layton was one of a kind. His message resonated with people so much that he brought the NDP party from 37 seats in the 2008 election to 103 seats in 2011. Under Jack Layton's leadership, the NDP became the official opposition in Parliament for the first time ever after the 2011 election. The quote for which he is best remembered comes from the end of a letter he wrote to the Canadian people in his final days. The letter concludes with the now well known passage: “My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world.” Today on rabble radio you'll hear excerpts from Jack Layton's state funeral, held at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto on August 27, 2011. You'll hear Shawn Atleo, who, at the time, was the national chief of the Assembly of First Nations. He delivered a blessing on behalf of Canada's First Nations community. You'll also hear a welcome message from Anne McGrath, chief of staff during Jack Layton's time in office, and speeches by Stephen Lewis, a friend, humanitarian and fellow NDP member who was leader of the Ontario NDP in the 1970s. And we finish with Mike Layton, Jack Layton's son. Image: Elliott Margolies/Flickr

Steve Bannon, the former head of Breitbart News and former chief strategist to President Trump, argues for the resolution that the “future of western politics is populist, not liberal.” Arguing the opposing side is Canadian-American David Frum, senior editor at The Atlantic, former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, and author of the recent book "Trumpocracy: The Corruption of the American Public." Rudyard Griffiths moderates the debate from Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto.

When Mark Howard was a teenager growing up in Hamilton, ON, his high school councilor predicted he’d be “nothing but a criminal.” Instead, Mark has enjoyed a legendary recording career, engineering and producing classic albums by Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Tom Waits, REM, U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Tragically Hip, Lucinda Williams, and many more. But in recent years, Mark has been battling for his life. In 2017, he was diagnosed Stage 4 melanoma and the time since has been more than challenging; however, thanks to some groundbreaking immune therapy research by a doctor at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, things are looking optimistic for Mark. To give back, he has organized a star-studded charity concert for Oct. 6 at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto, which will feature Randy Bachman, Sarah McLachlan, Sam Roberts, and more. Learn more and get tickets at: www.roythomsonhall.com/tickets/mark-howard-grand-concert/. In this in-depth interview, Mark takes us through his entire career, and he isn't shy about sharing some very entertaining behind-the-scenes stories, like the time Daniel Lanois smashed a dobro in the studio out of frustration with Dylan, or when Mark got Neil Young back on marijuana.
