I am dad to two daughters. Husband to one wife. Host to one long-running comedy show called The Debaters. Have jokes. Will travel.
I’m not an expert, but l do support giving employees good quality air while working…
Today on Volts: for years, I've wanted to do a podcast on indoor air quality, and I finally found the perfect guest! Dr. Lagoudas & I discuss indoor air pollutants, the policies and technologies that can control them, and the growing need to frame indoor air quality as a basic human right.
What's the deal with indoor air quality?
From CO2 monitors to better building codes, Dr. Georgia Lagoudas outlines how to clean up the spaces where we spend 90% of our lives.

The Debaters Live holiday tour resumes in a couple weeks in Western Canada. Most shows are sold out but a few tickets remain for a few stops. Run to get tickets, like Daughter Norah did through the hotel on a stop last Friday:) Cheers debaterslive.com

A huge thanks to all who came out and laughed at us in Peterborough a couple nights back! Great to end Ontario leg of tour on a high note. And judging by ease with which people reacted to this photo, our fans are more loyal than Coldplay’s. Tour resumes in Alberta Dec 2. Good talk. debaterslive.ca

At this point if you’re a comedian who Trump doesn’t want fired, you’re going it wrong…
President Trump wants Seth Meyers fired www.npr.org/2025/11/17/n...
President Trump wants Seth Meyers fired. The FCC chair amplified the message
President Trump continues to rage over late night comedians who make fun of him. This weekend he posted on social media that Seth Meyers has "no talent" and called for NBC to fire him.

Helluva fun weekend with Debaters Live tour rolling through Mississauga and Oshawa this weekend. People laughed in all the right spots and many wrong ones. Tour manager Donovan still best in the business, & I found a mannequin in the “Chrétien pose” at mall (if you know you know) Debaterslive.com

Merci beacoup to all who came out to Debaters Live on tour in Montreal last night! Given the amount of seasoned CBC listeners and the couple who brought their infant, it might have been biggest age range of any show I’ve done. Now on to Ontario! A few tickets remain: debaterslive.ca #funnybonesup
