Pope-mania 2025! - Friday May 9th, 2025

Jacob Shymanski and Grant Hardy are ready to learn about the first U.S. born Pope! From The Globe and Mail, Corinne Van Dusen shares an article about Robert Francis Prevost. Plus, Alberta’s separatism movement would violate treaty rights and Indigenous people standing strong for their rights on their land. An opinion piece from The Globe and Mail has those details. Steven Scott was so upset about inaccessible radios that he had to send Shaun Preece to talk about it! Shaun asks Grant and Jacob how, if, and when they listen to radio, and they talk about how surprisingly inaccessible radio is. The Washington Post is celebrating the new Pope as he is the first U.S. born pontiff. The article speculates on Pope Leo’s beliefs, what messages will he prioritize in his role, and the “north-south divide” in the Catholic church. Grant Hardy shares this article. Kelly MacDonald weighs in on the radio conversation, and previews what’s coming up on Kelly and Company!  AMI Today airs weekdays on AMI-audio in Canada and streams on the Accessible Media Inc.
