Send us a text Back in 2003, Ryan Malcolm became a familiar face across Canada as the first-ever winner of Canadian Idol . After a whirlwind year that included performing with artists like Elton John and Kelly Clarkson, Ryan returned to his roots just west of Kingston. Over the past 20 years, he’s worn many hats: musician, restaurant manager, Buddy Holly onstage, and now, real estate agent. In this episode, recorded in mid-April 2025 from his home in Prince Edward County, Ryan reflects on life after Idol, the twists and turns of his career, and what he's been up to lately. We also touch on his connection to the area — including his father, John Malcolm , who was a guest on this podcast back in 2016.

Send us a text The Arctic is one of Canada's most mysterious, beautiful, and dangerous regions—yet it’s an area that is increasingly capturing the attention of Canadians and the world. Why did the Inuit migrate across the Bering Strait 5,000 years ago to settle in the harsh north? What motivated European explorers to search for the elusive Northwest Passage? And today, with Canada asserting its sovereignty over the land and waterways of the northern Nunavut Territory, how is this vast, remote frontier being defended? In this two-part series, we dig deep into these questions. In Part 1, we explore the history of Arctic exploration, from ancient migrations to the challenges of European sailors navigating its icy waters.

Send us a text In this episode of The Kingstonian Podcast, we remember a prominent figure who left an indelible mark on the landscape of Canadian politics. For over half a century, Hugh Segal dedicated his life to politics and passionately advocated for a deeper understanding of Canadian history. This episode pays tribute to the life and legacy of this remarkable statesman. Joining us to share his personal reflections on Hugh Segal is Arthur Milnes . Like Senator Segal, he is an author and editor with a keen focus on Canadian political history, making him the perfect guest to discuss the profound impact Senator Segal had during his 50-year political journey.
