Around the 9 minute mark, he talks about leaving CFRB. What's interesting to me is that he insists it was his decision, that he was looking for something different and he wasn't happy about having an extra hour added to his show. He talks about "walking upstairs" from his basement studio after a long day and thinking about changing directions. 

Fair enough. I have to take him at his word, but I might suggest his version doesn't really jibe with what we know. He never talks about being fired, which I'm pretty sure is what happened after his friend, Mike Bendixen, got blown out as PD. So it's a great face saving explanation that he'd been there 25 years, and wanted to try something else, but that sounds more like spin than reality. Just my interpretation and I confess I have no inside knowledge of what happened. But that version makes more sense than the one he tells.

If he had quit on his own, they would not have had guest hosts "sitting in for Ryan Doyle" for weeks on end, before his name stopped being uttered at all. His story simply doesn't make sense. 

They also ask him about rumours he might be going to AM 640 and he doesn't really answer the question. But new talent honcho Amanda Cupido was asked about that on Toronto Mike's podcast and she insisted it wasn't happening. So that should put that to rest, as well. 

Also, I'm no prude and do my share of the swears, but it just seems he's using expletives in the podcast a little too often. It's fine, because it's not on air, but it seems like a bit of overkill to me and not really necessary. 

That's my two cents and that's probably over-valuing its worth!

I was not a fan of Doyle but I have nothing against him and hope his new venture is a success. 

For someone who isn't a fan...you sure waste a lot of your time writing about me. God help those you actually like. 🙄
