Future Mending Radio
There are better ways of doing things, but they don't get the publicity they deserve. Future Mending Radio profiles the people and organizations that are already building a better future. Clothing swaps, pay-it-forward restaurants, experimental theatre, tech coops, repair cafes, DIY bike hubs, sustainable chocolate shops and more.
In short, relaxing episodes, we'll seek out alternatives and explore them together.

You may have heard about the FIFA referees out in traffic in Toronto giving red and yellow cards to badly behaved drivers who are blocking the box or the bike lane. But what you probably don't know is that one of these referees, Martin Reis, is up to his elbows in all sorts of merry-pranksterism, including the lego tower on Harbourd Street.
Matt and Martin sit down for a fascinating (and funny!) discussion about pranks, protests and how to make a better city for everyone.
