  • Retirement: The Romance, the Rewards, and the RRSP Deadline
    Jan 24 2026

    On this week’s episode of More Than Money, Dave Popowich and Leanna Wachniak look at how retirement is changing as Canada’s senior population grows, and why more retirees may choose (or need) to keep working, whether part-time, full-time, or through volunteering.

    Next they’re joined by Jessica O’Reilly, Relationship Expert, HappierCouples.com to talk about how to keep your romance alive in retirement. Navigating shifting identity, less personal space, and changing caregiving roles and why retirement can flip expectations for couples.

    Plus, Retail Analyst and Author Bruce Winder breaks down points programs like Air Miles and PC Optimum: are they still delivering real value, or are they getting harder to use?

    To close out the show, Leanna Wachniak and Rob Gerrie break down what the March 2, 2026 RRSP deadline for the 2025 tax year really means, and what you should have in place before making a last-minute contribution decision.

  • Tech From CES That Helps and Retirement Myths That Hurt
    Jan 17 2026

    On More Than Money, Dave Popowich and Leanna Wachniak sit down with Marc Saltzman, Tech Journalist and Host of the Tech It Out podcast, to break down the latest gadgets and tools that can actually make day-to-day life easier in retirement (and what’s just hype). Then, Dave and Leanna take on a big question: what does retirement really look like? A lot of the expectations people carry into retirement are built on common myths, so they clear up a few misconceptions they hear all the time. To close out the show, they talk about why it’s important not to let the headlines of the moment derail your plan or your portfolio, and Leanna shares a great analogy about the difference between politics and policy that’s worth a listen.

  • Alberta’s Health Care Under Pressure and a Tough Flu Season
    Jan 10 2026

    On More Than Money, Rob Gerrie and Leanna Wachniak sit down with Dr. Paul Parks, President-Elect, Section of Emergency Medicine with the Alberta Medical Association, to talk about how Alberta’s health care system is fragmented, overcrowded, and poorly integrated. They’re also joined by Jason “The Germ Guy” Tetro to discuss Alberta’s influenza season, the effectiveness of this year’s flu vaccine, what’s driving the spread, and why seniors in particular are more vulnerable to this year’s strain.

    To close out the show, Rob and Leanna discuss why, for anyone who has delayed thinking about retirement, January may be the best opportunity to start asking the right questions and putting a plan in motion.
