Support Pipelines' Podcast with David Hermanson-Season 2, Episode 86, Mario Toneguzzi

You won’t want to miss today's conversation with Mario Toneguzzi, hosted by David Hermanson. Mario isn’t just a longtime journalist—he’s a huge part of Calgary. He knows this city’s business community, its people, and its local scene better than almost anyone, and it shows in every story he tells. In this episode, Mario reflects on the 2013 Calgary flood, the power of community during crisis, and what it’s really like to report the news when emotions are high. He and David dig into how social media has changed public perception, why trust in traditional media has shifted, and the importance of real civic engagement in such a divided time. Mario also shares what makes Calgary unique, from its entrepreneurial spirit to the deep sense of community that continues to define it. It’s an honest, grounded conversation—and a reminder to stay curious, stay involved, and make the most of each day.
