Hour 1 of Ottawa Now for Thurs. October 23rd, 2025

An iconic video rental store in The Glebe is permanently shuttering its doors after 40 years in business. For several decades, Glebe Video International has been a destination for movie-lovers, withstanding the test of time after stores like Blockbuster began to disintegrate. It was once located above the Glebe Central Pub on Bank Street, then relocated to the Fourth Avenue Baptist Church during the COVID-19 pandemic. But soon, the lights will go out for the final time. Kristy Cameron chats with Peter Senecal, who has proudly owned Glebe Video International for 10-plus years. Meantime, the iHeart Talk Radio Network is welcoming a new member to the podcast family! Jennifer Stewart and Catherine Clark, the hosts of The Honest Talk, will continue to share their conversations with some of North America’s most inspiring women. From business and cultural leaders, to Olympians and authors, no topic or guest is off-limits. They join the program in Hour 1. But first, we bring you up to speed on today’s top headlines.
