You might think you know Peter Mansbridge, the veteran host of CBC's The National. But have you met P. Manny? His alter ego was first unleashed unto the world in Shad's welcome episode, so it's only fitting that he join the new host for his first official show.

Mansbridge crashes Glenn Gould Studio to talk with Shad about the latest headlines for q News, bringing us hard-hitting items like National Penguin Day, William Shatner's latest memoir plans, and Ringo Starr's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

This ain't the nightly news, though. Prepare for P. Manny to editorialize.
