No BS with Brad Smith
by Brad Smith /Curiouscast
Brad Smith has lived several lives—and somehow talks about all of them on the radio. He’s a former Canadian Football League player (yes, the hits were real), a TV host on Chopped Canada (no, he does not judge your cooking), and a former star of The Bachelor Canada (long story, limited roses).Now behind the mic, Brad delivers unfiltered opinions, sharp humor, and conversations that skip the nonsense and get to the point—occasionally with a side of sarcasm. He asks the questions you’re thinking, says the things you probably shouldn’t, and promises to keep it honest… even when it’s uncomfortable.Direct, unscripted discussion with recurring guests offering diverse perspectives—authentic conversations that reflect how people really talk about the issues.
