Seg 1: Robots, or similar entities, have been present in myths and folklore for thousands of years, predating the modern concept of robots.
Guest: Avery Hurt, Freeland Science and Medical Journalist
Seg 2: Is there a group, concert, artist that you regret having not seen and now it’s too late?
Guest: Scott Shantz, Contributor for Mornings with Simi
Seg 3: View From Victoria:
How did the BC Ferries corporation get to this point, where it seems nothing is going right for the company? We get a local look at the top political stories with the help of Vancouver Sun columnist Vaughn Palmer.
Seg 4: The Weekly Cecchini Check-in:
A 14 year old who ran away from home in Arizona 3 years ago has shown up at a police station near the Montana/Canada border, UFO’s are making the rounds in America, and “Glitch” McConnell incident leads to discussions around age and politics.
Guest: Reggie Cecchini, Washington Correspondent for Global News
Seg 5: Does it seem like anytime we talk about social media, all we hear about is doom and gloom. How Dangerous it can be, how addictive it can be, how anti-productive it can be, especially with young people. But is there also an upside?
Guest: CKNW Contributor Scott Shantz with Shelley Craig, Canada Research Chair in Sexual and Gender Minority Youth
Seg 6: The challenges BC Ferries are facing highlight the urgent need for improvements in crew recruitment, fleet maintenance, and the acquisition of new, reliable ferries to meet the demands of its passengers and maintain a high level of service.
Guest: Charles Prestrud, Director of the Coles Transportation Center in Washington State
Seg 7: Kickin’ it with The Caps
The Whitecaps are going to LA on Sunday for the Leagues Cup and they need to win to advance. The game was supposed to be Saturday but was pushed to Sunday
Guest: Vanni Sartini, Coach of the Vancouver Whitecap
Seg 8: An enormous old-growth cedar tree has been located in Vancouver Island's Clayoquot Sound, potentially dating back over a thousand years.
Guest: TJ Watt, Photographer & Campaigner for the Ancient Forest Alliance
