Murray Wood delivers sharp, insightful commentary with a blend of wit, skepticism and straight talk. Whether he’s exposing political maneuvering, celebrating cultural icons or unpacking life’s everyday quirks, he never holds back.

Listen to more commentary from Murray Wood:

Tues., Sept. 23: Murray Wood isn’t a fan of the suite of rule changes coming to the CFL over the next two years, because it makes the Canadian game more like the NFL. Although there’s one change he does appreciate.

Mon., Sept. 22: Today marks the first day of fall, as the equinox arrives. Murray Wood says that despite the fantastic temperatures we’ve seen in Saskatchewan recently, the signs of autumn are upon us already.

Fri., Sept. 19: New data suggest people are spending less time reading for pleasure. Murray Wood says it’s sad that people are drawn to TVs and video games instead of old-fashioned books, which have many benefits.

Thurs., Sept. 18: At the risk of sounding old fashioned, Murray Wood is questioning the manners of some of the people he meets. He says people should make an effort to watch their language in public.

Wed., Sept. 17: Murray Wood says he’s had too many close calls with people on scooters, bikes and skateboards. But he’s never seen them get pulled over.
