Canadian?

The end of this interview: [[1]] says that Torey Malatia is Canadian. Is it a joke, or is the Wikipedia article wrong?

Dunno. https://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/99-reasons-why-its-better-to-be-canadian/ . (I'm not ("secretly Canadian"), but two of my cousins are). Acwilson9 (talk) 20:16, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not mentioned in article

I'm sure I am not alone in knowing Torey Malatia from Ira Glass's final joke/acknowledgement in almost every episode of This American Life that he hosts. Shouldn't this article refer to that? --Kenmayer (talk) 16:41, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That "final joke/acknowledgement" IS mentioned in the This American Life article. Acwilson9 (talk) 19:46, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Also not mentioned in this article are that the WBEZ board actually fired/replaced (a not uncommon occurence in radio) Malatia in 2013, and that, early in Malatia's WBEZ tenure, many WBEZ listeners (including I) were angry at him when he canceled (also not uncommon in radio) the popular long-standing folk- and world-music program "Radio Gumbo", DJed by Stuart Rosenberg https://www.stuartrosenbergmusic.com/ (NOT Stuart Rosenberg, TV/film director).
