About this listen

 This is the podcast version of Bedard's Unofficial Saint John's page, which I've kept up in some form for years. Three old boys talk about an iconic chain of Canadian schools, founded by Ted Byfield. I graduated in 1975 and am not affiliated in any way with the school. We make sure to keep it strictly from a student's perspective. In no way do I personally advocate replicating the challenges boys went through.Pierre Bedard World

  • Stephen Riley reflects on early journalism career in Winnipeg

    Stephen Riley reflects on early journalism career in Winnipeg
    Jan 31 2026

    NOTE: Because of some technical issues, Stephen does not appear on video but he comes through loud and clear. An interesting discussion with author Stephen Riley about the old times in Winnipeg, including how he came to be introduced to Ted Byfield, whose chair Riley sat in on the Winnipeg Free Press city hall desk . If you like Winnipeg nostalgia, and stories of the old times, this podcast is for you. Management apologizes for our video issues but not for Stephen's first person accounts of Steve Juba's Winnipeg. Ted Byfield and Mayor Juba were the best of friends and compatriots. Great oral history in this 20 minute podcast.

    Stephen Riley joins Pierre to talk about Stephen's documentary - The Old Boys' - which aired in Manitoba in February 1990. The big question - where is the video? How can we see it online? Neither of us have found it - but this is the internets. If anyone out there has a copy, let us know!
