My guest on this episode is Steve Paikin. Steve is an author, journalist, and broadcaster who hosted TVO’s nightly current affairs show The Agenda for 19 years, until that show ended earlier this summer. He is an officer of the Order of Canada, a member of the Order of Ontario, and the author of eight books. His most recent book, John Turner: An Intimate Biography of Canada's 17th Prime Minister , was published by Sutherland House in 2022. The Globe & Mail called John Turner “an insightful portrait of a powerfully talented but deeply conflicted individual who influenced the story of our country, mostly for the better.” Steve and I talk about his decision to leave The Agenda (and the legendary broadcaster whose advice planted the seed for that departure), about why he chose to write a deeply researched biography of a man who was Prime Minister for a whopping 79 days, and about taking on not just one, but three new book projects. This podcast is produced and hosted by Nathan Whitlock , in partnership with The Walrus . Music: "simple-hearted thing" by Alex Lukashevsky . Used with permission. Hosted on Acast.

In this podcast episode, Larry Ostola talks to Steve Paikin about his book John Turner: An Intimate Biography of Canada's 17th Prime Minister published by Sutherland House in 2022. In this biography, acclaimed journalist Steve Paikin illustrates the life and times of Canada’s 17th prime minister, John Turner (1929-2020). One of Canada’s most glamorous and successful politicians, John Turner was born in England but raised in British Columbia, Canada. He was a champion sprinter and a Rhodes scholar who captured national imagination as escort for Princess Margaret on her 1959 Canadian tour. Elected to Parliament in 1962, he served in Prime Minister Lester Pearson’s cabinet and as Pierre Trudeau’s attorney general, minister of justice, and finance minister. In 1984, he won a hotly contested Liberal leadership contest and served a brief four months as Canada’s 17th prime minister before falling to Brian Mulroney in a Progressive Conservative landslide. In this surprisingly candid and personal book, Steve Paikin draws on unprecedented access to Turner’s personal and public papers to show how he struggled to meet the towering expectations that came with his abundant gifts and keep his faith in Canadian democracy despite the challenges of his own career. Steve Paikin is a journalist, author, and documentary film producer. Over the course of his career, he's worked for a variety of media outlets; for the past 30 years he has been a journalist with Ontario’s provincial broadcaster, TVO. He's been the anchor of TVO’s flagship current affairs program The Agenda with Steve Paikin since 2006. This podcast was produced by Jessica Schmidt.

A sold-out event at the Toronto Hunt Club, ending with a loud and sustained standing ovation for my guest Steve Paikin, the anchor of the flagship current affairs program, The Agenda. I was so happy with this interview that I brought it to Chatter that Matters. Steve Paikin is a recipient of the Order of Canada, an author, a documentary producer, and one of Canada's most admired journalists. We cover so much ground and with so much laughter. We learn about Steve's upbringing, the values he learned from his parents and mentors, and what led him to journalism. I found Steve fearless but surprisingly modest and humble for someone who has accomplished so much. Steve shares several behind-the-scenes stories, including his interview with Mikhail Gorbachev, the eighth and final leader of the Soviet Union. That alone is worth your time. And wait to hear what guest ripped his microphone off and walked off the set while the cameras were still running. Steve and I discuss the State of Media and whether Democracy can survive the divide-to-conquer mentality seeping into politics and the media. Steve's answer. It must. Steve talks about the intersection between journalism and democracy and what matters most. We then discuss Steve's new book John Turner, an intimate biography of Canada's 17th Prime Minister, and Steve's award-winning documentary - Return to the Warsaw Ghetto. Tanis Feasby, the Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications at RBC, joins the show. I asked Tanis the same question I asked Steve Paikin - what must we do to preserve the truth and democracy? Tanis shares her thoughts and talks about the role Leaders of organizations must play to contribute to a narrative of possibility and positivity. Put this show on your agenda.
