Standing By: The Terry and Ted Podcast

Standing By: The Terry and Ted Podcast is a weekly Montreal-focused podcast co-hosted by Terry DiMonte and Ted Bird, whose personal friendship and professional collaboration spans five decades and two centuries(!).

We also reflect on the legacies of two fallen cultural icons with deep Montreal connections, and Terry harkens back to the good old days of almost being eaten by polar bears.
