  Vancouver Hosted the 2026 World Cup. What Did We Actually Get?

  Aug 18, 20261h 10mS2

  The 2026 World Cup is over, Canada made a historic run, and Vancouver hosted seven matches — but after the crowds, ticket prices, public spending and hype, what did the city actually get from it? Ray Goldenchild returns to Ship of Fools to give his post-World Cup verdict. Steven and Ray unpack Canada’s run to the knockout stage, Vancouver’s World Cup experience, ticket affordability, FIFA politics and controversy, the spectacle surrounding the tournament, and some of the biggest moments on the pitch. Then they get to the question that matters long after the final whistle: did the World Cup actually leave Canadian soccer better off? Ray also talks about the importance of grassroots development through Orix Community Sports Club and what needs to happen next if Canada wants the momentum to last. Was it worth it for Vancouver? Listen and decide for yourself. Ship of Fools — Where Wit Meets Wisdom.

  Comedy Is Hard: Niki Mohrdar on Making It in Canadian Stand-Up

  Aug 11, 20261h 7mS2

  Making people laugh for a living sounds fun. Actually building a career doing it? That’s the hard part. Vancouver comedian Niki Mohrdar joins Ship of Fools Podcast for a funny, candid conversation about finding her voice, getting started in stand-up and what it really takes to make a living in Canadian comedy. Niki has performed with Just For Laughs Vancouver , appeared on OUTtv’s Killjoy Comedy and Just For Laughs Originals , and is featured in the new season of CBC Gem’s The New Wave of Standup . She also co-hosts Pillow Talk , a live comedy show with Cass Furman. We get into the Vancouver comedy scene, the rooms and comedians that shaped her, how her style has evolved, the realities of being a working comic in Canada, and why choosing a career built around making strangers laugh can be equal parts rewarding, ridiculous and difficult. And because this is Ship of Fools Podcast , the conversation goes wherever it wants to go. Funny, loose and occasionally insightful — Where Wit Meets Wisdom. Ship of Fools Podcast with Niki Mohrdar.

  Roadblocks, Breathalyzers & E-Bike Chaos in B.C. with Kyla Lee

  Aug 4, 20261h 6mS2

  What can police legally demand from you at a B.C. roadblock? How reliable are roadside tests for alcohol, cannabis and prescription medications? And when does an e-bike or scooter legally become a motor vehicle? B.C. driving lawyer Kyla Lee joins Ship of Fools to explain what drivers are required to do when stopped, what rights they still have and where roadside enforcement can become legally questionable. Kyla breaks down breathalyzer demands, drug testing, false or misleading readings and the consequences of refusing—or being unable—to provide a sample. She also explains how Charter rights apply behind the wheel, including Section 1 and the limits governments can place on individual rights in the name of public safety. The conversation then turns to the growing confusion around e-bikes and e-scooters in British Columbia. What is actually legal, where can they be ridden and who is responsible when riders, drivers and pedestrians are competing for space on roads, sidewalks and bike lanes? A practical and timely conversation about the driving laws every British Columbian should understand. This episode is for general information only and does not constitute legal advice.

  Mo Amir on Why B.C. Feels Broken: Politics, Populism & Public Trust

  Jul 29, 20261h 14mS2

  What is driving the frustration, distrust and political fatigue being felt across British Columbia? Mo Amir, host of This Is VANCOLOUR , joins Steven Malkowich to examine the mood of the province heading into the fall. They discuss the pressure facing the B.C. NDP, what new leadership could mean for the B.C. Conservatives, and whether the province is experiencing a genuine political realignment or simply a new version of the same frustrations. They also get into Vancouver, Surrey, Coquitlam and Metro Vancouver politics, the decline of traditional local media, differences between regions of B.C., younger people’s growing “why bother?” attitude, and whether populism reflects healthy skepticism or grievance politics. A wide-ranging conversation about why trust is eroding—and what that means for the future of B.C. politics.
