Survivors: Spencer Beach and Kelly Falardeau's Remarkable Lives

Kelly Falardeau sustained life-altering injuries at just two years old when her dress caught on fire at a family gathering. Spencer Beach's life was dramatically and forever changed when he was caught in an explosion at work. Their stories will invoke a wide range of emotions, from tears to laughter, in this must-watch episode of Real Talk. 

3:55 | But first...it's another gut punch for Canada's beleaguered media industry. Nearly 5,000 employees laid off by Bell Media, and multiple local newscasts cancelled across the country. Ryan and Johnny open the show with their own thoughts on the state of the fourth estate. 

16:23 | Talk about a tough look. A company owned by Darryl Katz, owner of the Edmonton Oilers, is taking Boyle Street Community Services to court, claiming it shouldn't have to make good on a $5M promise it made to the non-profit outreach agency. Ryan gets into the details. 

25:57 | Spencer Beach and Kelly Falardeau are two of the most incredible people you'll ever met. The burn survivors have turned tragedy into triumph, making it their life's work to educate and inspire countless people. Spencer and Kelly join Ryan in studio for an interview you won't want to miss.
