Brad Smith /Curiouscast·70 episodes
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.

A documentary interview turns into something much bigger.

Immigration lawyer Richard Kurland — member of Lawyers for Secure Immigration and a pro-immigration voice — destroys the mainstream narrative.
