A line in the sand...

This time on The Debaters we’ve got a country-mouse, city-mouse showdown as rural raconteur Derek Edwards tries to convince urban advocate Mike Wilmot that small towns are the heart and soul of our country.
Up next on our double bill of funny and fact, Arab American comic Ray Hanania does battle with Toronto funnyman Simon Rakoff on the topic of Palestinians and whether Canada should do more to help these people. As always, “The Debaters” draws a comedic line in the sand so make a point to occupy the territory around your radio at 6:30 PM Saturday or 8:30 PM Monday.

Who let the dogs out?

On The Debaters this week we ask the question:
Are pit bulls just too dangerous? Comedic big dogs Jonny Harris and the aptly named Irwin “Barker” sink their teeth into the subject of pit bulls and whether this breed deserves to be banned across the country.
Up next on our double bill of comedic kibbles and bits, Toronto funnyman Mark Forward tries to convince an exuberant Debra Digiovanni that the fads and fashions of the 1980’s should be buried once and for all.
Yes, we’re getting a little nostalgic so put on your parachute pants and drop into “The Debaters” Saturday at 6:30 PM and Monday at 8:30 PM on Radio One.

A Hallmark moment for Mom...

Is a childless woman incomplete? Is the fashion business bad business?
On this, our Mother’s Day episode, pugnacious patriarch John Wing does his sexist best to convince Teresa Pavlinek (“The Jane Show”) that she will never be complete as a woman until she has kids.
Next up, funny gals Sabrina Jalees and Erica Sigurdson go toe to toe on the topic of fashion, and whether the excess and narcissism of the fashion industry make it less than a model biz.
To accessorize your week with some stylish funny and facts, tune in “The Debaters” Saturday at 6:30 PM and Monday at 8:30 PM on Radio One.
