I would like to see Jeremy White do the 7-10 p.m. weekday slot with a real live semi-national show, with a focus on call-in callers. Then shift Dani Stover's rerolls and rerolls of rerolls to weekend slots and holiday fill-ins. 
I sense that Mr. White mentions his heritage out of enthusiasm about being able to do a big-city Toronto show from a home studio in Akwesasne. But are his mentions any different than other AM 640 hosts and producers referencing their lives in Toronto and the suburbs?

Maybe, but those "other hosts" don't constantly refer to their lives in Toronto and the suburbs after every commercial break. Again, I have no objection to his telling the audience. I just wish it were a little less often.

I'm not really bothered by his references to being indigenous.
What actually annoyed me was the other day when he based his entire show around it being his 30th birthday.
He asked callers for their advice for his life.
Do you really want to listen to a talk show host who has to expound on every topic under the sun who pretty well admits that he's young and green and doesn't know a lot about life yet?

 

Agreed.  And he giggles like a school girl.  Again, I didn't think he was too bad, and I'm a daily Oakley listener.
