Saturday Aug 23, 2025
Saturday Aug 23, 2025
Today I talk to Steve Smith - better known as RED GREEN (http://www.redgreen.com/) to millions of Canadians as well as PBS viewers. Steve talks about how he got into television, how Morag (his wife) was the one who, with sheer will, got them on TV with Smith & Smith, Me & Max, the weird Canadian TV system, and of course the origins of Red Green. Lots of great stories - including the secret of duct tape!SLIGHTLY A WAYS NORTH is released every second Saturday at 4 PM ET.Need a video made? http://www.skycron.com/goIf this video helped join our Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/skycronWatch GO/NITRO on FOX/ABC/CBS - http://www.gonitro.tv/Saskatchewan video production - http://www.skycron.com/
