| 10/21/25 |  Kit Coleman, Trailblazing Female Journalist of the Gilded Age | Kit Coleman was a woman; she was also a journalist. When she began her career in 1889, this made her a trailblazer and even a subversive figure. For some people, female journalists were only slightly higher than streetwalkers in the Victorian social hierarchy. For 22 years, she wrote for The Mail and The Mail and Empire newspapers. Then, she struck out on her own as one of the first syndicated columnists in Canada. This episode is about Kit Coleman, the Queen of Hearts.We would like to thank Barbara Freeman, author of Kit's Kingdom, who provided the voice of Kit Coleman for this episode.You can follow Muddy York on Twitter: Toronto_History, Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/muddyyork.bsky.social and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/muddyyorkhistory/. | — | ||||||
| 10/7/25 |  Toronto Zoo | The Zoo is a Scarborough institution. But it raises the question: what is a zoo in Toronto’s eyes? Is it an animal sanctuary? A school field trip factory? A conservation lab? On this episode of Muddy York, we'll look at the history of the high-minded, ethically ambitious and chaotically managed mega-zoo that we know today as well as the Riverdale Zoo that came before it.You can follow Muddy York on Twitter: Toronto_History, Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/muddyyork.bsky.social and Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/muddyyorkhistory/. | — | ||||||

| 8/19/25 |  Patty Conklin, Carnie King of Toronto w/John Thurston | If you went to the Ex from the 70s to the 90s, you may remember seeing a clown’s head logo with red hair, a black hat and plus signs over his eyes.

| 7/29/25 |  Caribana - The Carnival That Changed Toronto | Caribana is about artistry, community and joy. It began in Canada's Centennial year of 1967 as a gift from the Caribbean community to the people of Toronto.

| 7/1/25 |  CN Tower | The CN Tower is probably the most recognizable symbol of Toronto.
