Free Daily Podcast Summary
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.

Lucy Biggers, former climate activist and Head of Social Media at The Free Press, joins Brad to discuss why she left the climate movement, the controversy surrounding the IPCC’s climate models, and the debate over net-zero policies, carbon taxes, and the future of energy.
Brad breaks down the case of Henry Nowak, the 18-year-old student whose fatal stabbing sparked outrage following the release of police body-camera footage. The episode examines the events leading up to the attack, the murder conviction of Vikram Deguara, the police response at the scene, and the growing public debate over justice, media coverage, race, and accountability in the UK.
Shawn Buckley, constitutional lawyer and President of the Natural Health Product Protection Association (NHPPA), joins Brad to discuss peptides, natural health products, pharmaceutical patents, Health Canada regulations, and the growing debate over medical freedom in Canada. Later, Philip Millar, lawyer, political commentator, and host of The Rogue Lawyer, weighs in on Spencer Pratt’s mayoral ambitions, Karen Bass, and why outsider candidates are reshaping modern politics.
Cat & Nat join Brad to talk about screen time, social media, parenting boundaries, and why raising kids in a digital world may require a completely different playbook than previous generations.
Can you keep your brain sharp for life? Neuroscientist Tommy Wood explains how retirement, focus, and daily habits affect cognitive decline. Then historian Johan Norberg joins Brad to explore what the fall of Rome can teach us about wealth, freedom, and the challenges facing the modern world.
Parents today spend more time with their kids than ever before—but are we making parenting harder than it needs to be? Brad sits down with Tania Khazaal to talk about modern parenting, social pressure, boundaries, and why raising resilient kids might have less to do with perfection and more to do with showing up.
A documentary interview turns into something much bigger. Lindsay Shepherd joins Brad to tell the story of fake companies, fake pitches, undercover filming, and the moment she realized the project she had signed onto wasn’t what it seemed. A conversation about media, trust, history, and where the line between satire and manipulation really is.
Brad takes on two big questions: how culture and institutions shape the way we think, and how our past shapes the way we live. First, author Heather Mac Donald joins the show for a conversation on academia, identity, and modern culture. Then on Mental Health Monday, psychologist Oren Amitay shares practical advice on rumination, forgiveness, and moving forward
