David Goldbloom and Friends

Join acclaimed psychiatrist, author and Officer of the Order of Canada Dr. David Goldbloom for another round of his popular interview series. David sits down with three extraordinary people to discuss their fascinating careers and personal journeys. With warmth, curiosity and wit, these conversations promise inspiring stories, candid reflections, almost guaranteed laughs and a rare glimpse into the lives of some of our country’s most remarkable individuals. As in previous years, there is a longstanding personal connection between David and his guests that makes the encounter different than a standard interview – for better or worse!


David Goldbloom and Steve Paikin

Start your morning with a thought-provoking and entertaining conversation as David sits down with acclaimed journalist, biographer and documentary producer Steve Paikin – and turns the tables on a man used to doing all the questioning. As the trusted host of TVO’s The Agenda with Steve Paikin, his insightful interviews have earned him a reputation as one of Canada's most respected voices in journalism. An Officer of both the Order of Canada and the Order of Ontario – and a rabid sports fan who also enjoys a good cup of tea – he brings stories, reflections and humour to what promises to be a lively and inspiring conversation.
