Sophie Bushwick is a regular contributor to Science Friday on NPR and has previously worked for Scientific American and Popular Science. As the Senior News Editor at New Scientist, she joined Robb and Josh in exploring anthropomorphism and AI. Sophie's work reminds us that our introduction to pocket computers came with the heavily anthropomorphized Tamagotchi pets of the late '90s. As we head into the era of conversational machines, Sophie brings her insights to a conversation about the pros and cons of making them human-like across a whole range of scenarios, including those geared toward productivity and entertainment. The correlations and similarities between corporations and AI pose both ethical considerations as well as design challenges, and this discussion draws on Sophie's extensive background in technology reporting to look for answers.

Today presenter, Justin Webb, and Senior News Editor for BBC News Podcasts, Jonathan Aspinwall, join Andrea Catherwood to discuss the trials and tribulations of American politics and answer your comments on BBC Sounds and Radio 4's Americast. In response to last week's programme, we hear what more listeners have to say about the BBC's plans for the future of Long Wave. 6 Music listeners share their thoughts on the changes to the station's evening schedule and in the Vox Box, Steven Jones and his son Elliott tell us why they're tuned into 6 Music.

This week on Casual Magic, I'm joined by IGN's Senior News Editor (and very dear friend of mine) Kat Bailey to discuss Magic and Microtransactions, and how it lines up with the Video Games industry! This episode was brought to you by CoolStuffInc, Archidekt, and Quiver!

Rachel Krantz, the author of Open: An Uncensored Memoir of Love, Liberation, and Non-monogamy joins us as we continue the discussion from the previous episode about grooming in the kink scene. However, in this episode, we broaden the conversation by including non-monogamy and we deepen it by exploring Rachel's first- hand experience with it. In the past, all three of us, Rachel, Sunny and myself, have been in kink and/or non-monogamous relationships that we came to realize had some toxic patterns of manipulation, grooming, gas lighting, etc. in them. Often such relationships are mixed with amazing highs that keep one hooked and brutal lows that leave one crushed. It is our hope that listeners who are currently in such relationships or healing from one might benefit from the insights in this episode. We start in the thick of it…that time when Rachel was immersed in such a relationship, including the strong emotional tidal pulls that are make such a relationship addictive, sexy, intoxicating, but deeply torturous. And then we can move to the first few years after getting free, followed by where Rachel finds herself now and finally, who she wants to become. Perhaps in doing so, the three of us can provide a road map, some coping tools, or at least some hope for someone who feels lost in this pattern within kink and/or non-monogamy. We hope that you join us for this vulnerable, bold and honest episode as once again, we dare to open deeply. Rachel's Bio: Rachel Krantz is the author of the reported memoir, OPEN: AN UNCENSORED MEMOIR OF LOVE, LIBERATION, AND NON-MONOGAMY, which is a 2023 Lambda Award finalist.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has appointed former governor general David Johnston to look into allegations that China interfered in our 2021 election. Johnston, of course, comes with an impressive resume and is very well respected, however there are potential red flags including the fact that he is a member of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation. The official opposition parties are also still calling on Trudeau's government to launch a public inquiry. Our panelists react to the latest. ---- THE PROBLEM WITH NDP CANDIDATE SARAH JAMA Libby Znaimer is joined by Michael Levitt, President and CEO Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies. Ontario NDP candidate Sarah Jama is running to take over Hamilton Centre (Andrea Horwath's old riding) in a provincial byelection today. There's just one problem: according to a number of Jewish organizations, she has expressed antisemitic views. These organizations want her to step down and apologize for her past public comments about Israel and for her support of the boycott divestment and sanctions movement. The NDP have since stated that Sarah Jama is an advocate against antisemitism and any form of racism. But, this has us scratching our heads and wondering whether anything will be done to hold the candidate accountable for her past actions. Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!

Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, Senior Director of Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. This week: The CEO's of Canada's largest grocery retailers have testified in front of the agricultural committee in the House of Commons. The heads of Loblaw and Empire Foods pushed back against allegations that they are profiting from inflation and price gouging their customers. And, remember that price freeze that Galen Weston put on no name products a few months back? Galen brought it up and said that its saved grocery shoppers as much as $45 million at check out during the three months that the deal was in place.

The City of Burlington is requiring all of its employees (with some exceptions) to wear masks while in its facilities. However, the general public will not be subject to this same requirement.

Right now, Ontarians are grappling with COVID-19, the flu and RSV all circulating. So, is it time we re-institute mask mandates?

We're heading into the winter season soon and we're hearing stories about wards where it took months for some neighbourhood streets to get plowed, we've got overflowing litter bins, and it's not hard to look elsewhere where things are just not getting done. Also, this Thursday, CARP is hosting one of only two Toronto Mayoral debates at the Zoomer Hall which will also be broadcasted live on Fight Back at noon. We ask each of our panelists what they think the top question should be for the candidates. ---- ONTARIO HEALTH REPORT: THE CRISIS IN ONTARIO HOSPITAL ERs Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Stephen Flindall, an emergency doctor in the GTA.

TUNE INTO THE TOWN Ontario's municipal election day is October 24th, but eight days of advance voting for Toronto's municipal election begins tomorrow. And with Premier Doug Ford poised to introduce further measures to expedite housing construction…and boost density…immediately after the October 24th municipal elections...what might this mean for municipalities? Libby Znaimer is joined by Karen Stintz, CEO of Variety Village; Lauren O'Neil, Senior News Editor of BlogTO; and David Crombie, Former Mayor of Toronto, to unpack these issues. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF GATHERINGS & GRATITUDE The Thanksgiving weekend is almost upon us. And with COVID-19 restrictions seemingly a thing of the past, many people are entertaining the idea of, well, entertaining. But with the mental toll that the pandemic, and subsequently the economy, has taken over the last few years…is it challenging for people to feel grateful?

Meanwhile, U.S. President Joe Biden, in a speech at the UN, said that Russia violated the UN's charter. Our experts weigh in on the heightened tensions and what has been happening on the ground lately in Ukraine. ---- DEATH OF IRAN WOMAN OVER HIJAB SPARKS GLOBAL PROTESTS Libby Znaimer is now joined by Hadi Ghaemi, Executive Director of the Center for Human Rights in Iran.

Libby Znaimer is joined by Lauren O'Neil, Senior News Editor of BlogTO, Councillor James Pasternak (Ward 6 York Centre) and Councillor Brad Bradford (Ward 19 Beaches East York). Today: There's plenty to talk about here in Toronto.

It's a lawsuit that happens to have the support of the current Mayor Patrick Brown.
