Afternoon Pint

Afternoon Pint is a laid-back Canadian podcast hosted by Matt Conrad and Mike Tobin—recorded where the best conversations happen: craft breweries, local pubs, and great restaurants around Canada

Each week, they sit down with a surprise guest—from entrepreneurs and athletes to authors, entertainers, politicians, and everything in between. You never quite know who’ll show up, and that’s exactly the point.

Every episode feels like meeting someone new over a pint—sometimes for the first time, sometimes picking up right where you left off. The conversations are real, unfiltered, and always a little unpredictable.

Because at its core, The Afternoon Pint is about bringing people together—sharing stories, perspectives, and a bit of good human spirit along the way.

So grab a drink, pull up a chair, and join the conversation.
