Steve Paikin, TVO

TVO Superstar Steve Paikin talks about his 5 shows over 31 years [and counting] at Ontario’s public television channel, starting his broadcasting career alongside Michael Landsberg at UofT Radio, chasing ambulances at The Hamilton Spectator, why he agrees with the host that Boston is the City of Champions, why Mikhail Gorbachev [impactful!] & Mordecai Richler [prickly!] were notable interviewees, his interactions with Elwy Yost/Scotty Bowman/Ken Dryden/Hugh Heron/Kenny Stabler/Doug Ford, his Dad’s creative note explaining Steve’s school absence to attend the inaugural Toronto Blue Jays game in 1977, he provides an update on the currently ongoing labour dispute at TVO, and he sidesteps the mysterious question of why you NEVER see him AND Polkaroo in the same room at the same time!
