Brandt’s Randt – Another Downside to Being Around Smokers

Smoking is bad for your health. We all know that. It’s gross to be around.  But my complaint about it has to do with some of the people  in my neighbourhood who have the habit whose smoke I never smell.

Brandt’s Randt – Come on Science! Get it Together.

Brandt’s Randt – Loblaws Should Give up its Sweatshops

I love Joe Fresh clothing. Well, the stuff that isn’t too weird or aimed squarely at only kids.  But they actually make a good quality dress pant at a reasonable price.  And now we all know why.  That’s the inspiration for this week’s Brandt’s Randt on 98.1 Free-FM.
