In the first episode of 2020, Brian’s joined by Bruce Arthur, sports columnist for the Toronto Star. Being a good son of a border town, Brian asks Bruce what it was like to watch The Tragically Hip’s final concert with members of the Canadian Olympic Team on the final night of the Rio Olympics. Many Hip memories are shared. Bruce discusses his unconventional career path in journalism, what makes college newsrooms so special, and what he learned as an intern at the National Post, and how a writer can improve as by reading great (and bad) sports writing and internalizing what you see. Bruce and Brian talk about the role of a sports columnist at a major metro newspaper, what it was like to cover the Toronto Raptors’ championship, and how the best writing can fundamentally change your worldview.
