The Best of Roy Green, Dec. 23: Farooq Sisters, Rent Crisis. - UK Headmistress Katharine Birbalsingh. - Adrian Sutherland, Truth & Reconciliation. - Eric Alper, One-Hit-Wonders. - Joe Warmington, Online News. - Murray Pomerance, Hollywood Superstars.

Take a look back at Roy's best interviews of 2023 with our end-of-year encore presentations of the Roy Green Show!
Today's presentation includes:

Rents across Canada have achieved unaffordable status for many. Perhaps none more so than Toronto sisters Yumna and Khadeja Farooq. Their 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment where they have lived for 3 years and for which they most recently have been paying $2,500 monthly rent was suddenly raised by $7,000 to $9,500 per month, to begin November 1, 2023. The sisters sought legal advice and will join us to share what they have found out. (Their building was constructed after 2018 making it exempt from rent control.)
Guests: Yumna and Khadeja Farooq.
Originally aired Sept. 16, 2023.

Teachers across Canada experiencing violence and harassment from students. Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario reports 77% of ETFO members have personally experienced or witnessed violence against staff members. We talk to Britain's 'strictest headmistress' about how students must behave in school or face consequences. Also, how at her inner city London school the emphasis is on the 3R's. The approach is yielding great success. although not without its critics.
Guest: Katharine Birbalsingh. Headmistress, Michaela Community School, Wembley, London, UK (spent some years of her youth in the Toronto area attending school here).
Originally aired Oct. 8, 2023.

Reflections on 2023 National Truth and Reconciliation Day with artist Adrian Sutherland.
Guest: Adrian Sutherland. Lifelong resident of Attawapiskat First Nation. International award-winning singer/songwriter. Most recent song Notawe (Father), sung entirely in Adrian's first Cree language. Recorded and mastered by multi Grammy Award winning producer Colin Linden and mastered by another multi Grammy Award winner Greg Calbi. - Adrian as well addresses issues facing First Nations and life at Attawapiskat where homes are barely insulated against freezing winter temperatures and drinking water remains unsafe.
Originally aired Sept. 30, 2023.

The massive appeal of Taylor Swift and 31 million attempts to purchase tickets to her concerts in Toronto in November of 2024. As well, why do some artists become multi-decade successes while others have an occasional hit over the same period of time and yet others are so-called 'one hit wonders'?
Guest: Eric Alper (thatericalper.com). 16-time JUNO Award winner and nominated six times as Publicist Of The Year during Canadian Music Week.
Originally aired Aug. 27, 2023.

Let's look at the Online News Act which Canadians have been commenting on. Let's cut to the chase. Where do you get your news, sports, social commentary today? Then a bit of nostalgia. What did you grow up with? Radio, television, newspapers? What do you miss? And frankly, who needs the tech "giants?" Just go to the websites of the individual Canadian news outlets and forget about Meta and Google.
Guest: Joe Warmington. Columnist. PostMedia.
Originally aired Jul. 15, 2023.

Hollywood on strike! What is this strike about and why is this one described as very serious.
And: Another blockbuster for Tom Cruise with the latest Mission Impossible movie. Is he the most successful Hollywood actor ever?
Guest: Murray Pomerance. Is an independent scholar and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Media and Communications at RMIT University, Melbourne. His most recent book, just out in paperback, is COLOR IT TRUE: Impressions of Cinema. One of the most respected authors of books about film and the actors and directors.
