Comments from Guests

Rob Salkowitz - Author of Generation Blend

Brad hosted the most in-depth and intelligent interview that I have engaged in in the six months I have been promoting Generation Blend. He obviously prepared carefully, and the result was a terrific, relaxed, and wide-ranging conversation. It's a rare pleasure to be able to finish a thought during a media interview, and Brad's show provides plenty of time to explore complex issues. His listeners are a lucky bunch to get this kind of quality week after week.

Christopher Shulgan - The Soviet Ambassador PDF Print E-mail

Who would have thought that Canada played a role in bringing democracy to the former Soviet Union?  That's what Brad uncovered during his discussion with  journalist Christopher Shulgan as they discussed the book "The Soviet Ambassador".  The impact and example that Canada played in showing a former Stalinist that  democratic principles such as land ownership, free elections and a separate justice system could increase the happiness and productivity of a country were instrumental in changing the mind of an influential Soviet statesman.  A personal relationship that grew to the level of close friendship with Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau sowed the seeds of freedom in a man who was previously a hard-line communist.


This interview was a fitting tribute to the birthday of our nation.
