Sat Feb 27 - Winter v Summer Olympics & Olympics and First Nations 4.19

This week we come to you from Vancouver, home of the 2010 Winter Games with a double bill of Olympic-themed comedy match-ups. First out of the gate, American funny man Alonzo Bodden tries to out-maneuver comic Sean Cullen in his attempt to prove that the Summer Games are superior to the Winter Games. Next up, First Nations comedian Don Kelly "owns the podium," as the tries to prove to overly-apologetic white guy Charlie Demers that the Olympics have been great for Canada's aboriginals. You won't want to miss a second of the action as our world-class comedians go for the glory, go for the gold and most importantly, go for the gags. The Debaters airs Saturday at 1:00 PM on Radio One.

Sat Feb 20 Guilt Trips / N.A. Union

Would closer ties between Canada, the USA and Mexico be good for our nation? This week North American Union booster Ali Rizvi tries to convince an incredulous Alan Park that joining our three nations would be "muy bien." Also on our double bill of verbal fisticuffs, Jewish comedian Simon Rakoff tries to prove to Catholic-raised funnyman Derek Seguin that guilt trips are useful and nothing to be ashamed of.
