Hi, Steve Patterson here, host of The Debaters, the show where Canada's top comedic minds go head to head on topics that might not be top of mind yet. This week we famously ask a pretty rich question. Is it better to be rich or famous? Get ready for a wealth of wit from two of our country's most well-known, if not most well-paid, jokers. Listen to this week's episode of The Debaters wherever you get your podcasts.
