As TikTok's future in the U.S. hangs in the balance, the clock is ticking toward a potential shutdown on January 19th. Host Marcy Markusa dives into the latest developments with tech consultant Avery Swartz, exploring the impact of a possible ban on millions of users and content creators, both in the U.S. and Canada. What would the end of TikTok in the States mean for the future of social media?


Also on the podcast: The Sutherland Hotel on Main Street was a fixture in Winnipeg for over a century before it was lost to flames. For Brad Bilenky, the fire wasn't just the loss of a building—it marked the end of a significant chapter in his life. Brad reflects on growing up in the hotel, which his parents owned for 11 years, and shares his personal connection to the place with host Marcy Markusa. Through his eyes, we explore the history of the Sutherland Hotel and its impact on the Winnipeg community.
