Jeremy Bradley thought it would be another silly phone call when reaching out to our company's executive producer, Bonnie Winters. Instead, the first minute of the chat with her husband changed everything. JB learned that his 20-year writing and producing partner had "a small stroke" at the start of the team's spring holiday. He recounts hearing the details and how he expected the worst after getting the news. But, in true JB style, he called Bonnie a few days later to put her on the radio to...

It's the third week for what's turned out to be a series about inmates! This week, Jeremy Bradley talks about knowing a convicted bank robbery. Spoiler: it was his journalism instructor! When JB learned of the news that the one-time local celebrity was busted for heists across Canada, he couldn't believe what happened to the life of his former mentor. While the news saw the teacher lose nearly all of his personal relationships, JB felt compassion because, despite the crime, he knew the person...

Last week, Jeremy Bradley talked about how he discovered some shocking news about an inmate pen pal. It led to a discussion about carrying on relationships with people behind bars and who you will likely never meet. Moreover, JB discusses messages he got from listeners after opening up the discussion to wondering if you can trust -- or potentially fall in love with -- a murderer.

Relationship drama on social media... keep it coming!...

The Scribble with Jeremy Bradley ·

2025/05/02

"Just because you have a phone, doesn't mean you need to be a content creator." That's how Jeremy Bradley opens the show this week. JB has said countless times that he has no interest in social media, however, this week he says there's an exception to his objection. It's when it comes to people broadcasting their relationship drama. He notes there's always a big, official announcement when a relationship starts and an official statement on social media when it ends. And, in between: the ups a...

It was a simple question that had Jeremy Bradley confused and then slightly offended. For a guy who never holds his tongue (or worries about offending people) did one question turn the tables on him? See if you would have felt the same way in that situation. Plus, JB circles back to the discussion about cellphone use from last week's episode. There was lots of conversation about how people use their devices and their pet peeves of others.

There's at least one in every group. It's the person who's not enjoying the moment and is constantly looking at their phone. The addiction is real!

He goes on to talk about how workplaces should restrict phone use just as schools do with kids. JB shares a story about how phone use became a rule in his house.

You had "the time of your life" -- was it recently or a memory from the past? Is life as enjoyable for you now as it was when you were growing up? It depends on when you grew up, according to Jeremy Bradley. He talks about his childhood and how he would stay in his teenage years forever because it was an innocent and fun time. (He'd never want to be a kid in today's world.) JB recounts the friendships and memories that got him through childhood. Now, in his 40s, JB said he wouldn't mind being...

Everywhere you go people are discussing politics. It's understandable given what's happening in the world (especially the United States). But for Jeremy Bradley, who's never participated in nor had an interest in politics, it's getting to be a bit much. JB explains how, as a Canadian, he watches from the sidelines people having emotionally -- and sometimes violently -- charged confrontations about politics in the U.S. He talks about how Canadians feel about politicians and politics and it's v...

Relationships are always fun to discuss because you learn about how couples live and either relate to them or secretly think to yourself, "Wow, my situation is so much better." Jeremy Bradley talks about giving relationship advice when there isn't a definitive way that unions should work. He says people ask about his marriage and try to compare the setup to their own situation, though he reminds them everybody is different.

Telemarketers, spammers, texters -- all out to scam you. But do you fall for it? Or have you caught onto their tricks? Calling you from overseas, mispronouncing your simple name, asking for details about your account: do you give in? Jeremy Bradley questions why people are so easily swayed when contacted out of the blue. JB notes how when customers call into a company for their product or service, customers have to provide excessive information to verify it's legitimately their account. Why d...

People love to read but it's toxic stuff on social media that makes them feel insecure, hate filled, depressed, lonely -- and everything else that screws with their mental health. Jeremy Bradley reflects on a time when kids were encouraged to read books and were excited to dive into the pages of a fascinating story. As adults -- and even with kids today -- not so much. Later, JB talks about odd behavior with people on social media. He wonders how trolling online and randomly posting nasty com...

Jeremy Bradley talks to "influencers" and encourages them to view their 15 minutes of fame as just that: fleeting and temporary. Many people with a social media platform see the likes, clicks and cash now but is it something sustainable for the rest of their life? JB talks about his retirement from a successful radio career and how he can look at the current generation of broadcasters (podcasters, YouTubers, TikTokers, etc.) and wonders if most of them have figured out the long-term business ...

Jeremy Bradley talks about his early days in internet radio that later turned into a syndicated radio company, producing audio programming for outlets around the world. JB encourages people who want to start creating (podcast, YouTube, etc.) to think about their content before launching a platform.

It's the day you're going to see social media pages full of flowers, romantic dinners and paragraphs of people professing their love. And it makes Jeremy Bradley want to puke. JB talks about how Valentine's Day went from being a commercial "holiday" to now being a show for social media where people broadcast the day with their partner. (Remember, your partner gave you those flowers today because it's kind of expected. Ditto on the "romantic" dinner.) JB, who's been married for several years, ...

Is it getting worse? Is the quality of customer service at an all-time low? And the new glammed-up way of referring to it as "customer experience" isn't helping most companies. Jeremy Bradley talks about the frustration of big businesses moving away from actual human contact and interaction, and relying more and more on technology to assist customers. Gone are the days of calling an 800-number and having your problem resolved in minutes. Now, it's chat bots and spotty English, irrelevant temp...
