our guest today is the Director of the School of Journalism and Communication at Carleton University and head of Carleton’s journalism program, Allan Thompson.
Professor Thompson is a lifelong journalist who's reported from newsrooms around the world—from Washington, to England, to Rwanda.
Thompson joined us to examine the current state of American political journalism in the Trump era, and to tell us why he still has faith in the future of news media thanks to the passion and energy shown by the next gen of j-schoolers.

Our Galentine's Day guest this year is the magnificent Miss Julie S. Lalonde—a dear friend of ours as well as a bestselling author, an internationally recognized women’s rights advocate, and a public educator.
Franco-ontarienne du nord de l’Ontario, elle est basée à Ottawa. Julie holds a BA and MA in Canadian Studies and Women’s Studies from Carleton University with a focus on the lives of economically disadvantaged elderly women.
Julie and Jenn discussed how to discuss Epstein while centering survivors, the many brosocialist losers lurking on the left, harassment and bystander intervention, and the urgent need for strong millennial feminist friends (like us!) to lift eachother up and stop tearing eachother down (shine theory, baby!).

the mensch behind Canadaland has launched an investigative podcast series called What Is Happening Here? which documents the frightening rise of antisemitism in Canada.
Jesse Brown joins us to share what he learned and shed some light on the many worries and daunting questions plaguing Canadian Jews right now.
also : we revisit the luminous and defiantly feminist character Rachel Menken of Menken's Department Store (from Mad Men).
this Canadaland series on the threats posed by anti-semitism is powerful and provocative (and absolutely worth your time) but please exercise caution if you plan to listen to it as a lot of what you'll hear is not for the faint of heart (trigger/content warning) :

are the Carney Liberals kowtowing to India? does anyone care about the NDP leadership race? will Mamdani’s abundant rizz ever be replicated? does everything just generally suck right now?!

Supriya is a political pundit on CBC's Power & Politics and a columnist for the Toronto Star and National Observer. she joined us from Toronto in December 2025.

Today we're joined by none other than the Honourable Charlie Angus, longtime Canadian Member of Parliament for the enormous federal riding of Timmins-James Bay in Northern Ontario.
Charlie - who some call the Canadian Bernie Sanders - is a diehard New Democrat. For those who don't know, the New Democratic Party is essentially the Canadian labour party; built thanks to organized labour and unionized working class workers and plenty of democratic socialists. It's the party that's led today by Jagmeet Singh, but was previously led by the late Ed Broadbent, the late Jack Layton, and none other than the father of Canadian Medicare: the late Tommy Douglas.
Charlie Angus' riding is unique in that it is very Indigenous, very vast and resource rich, very working class, and was once dominated by little coal mining towns like the one Charlie comes from, Cobalt.
After twenty years of aggressive impassioned face offs with The Man in Ottawa, this rugged reformed anarchist turned democratic socialist is laying the groundwork for his exit… stage left.
Our thanks to Charlie Angus for sharing his fascinating story with us. -
Evan Minsker joins us today with the inside scoop on WTF (?!!) really happened inside Pitchfork before they arbitrarily shitcanned a vast majority of their fantastic, award-winning newsroom.Evan was born and raised in West Virginia and now lives with his family Wisconsin where he's working on https://see-saw.fun/.________City and Nuuchimii podcast is independently produced and co-hosted by Maitee Saganash (she/her) and Jenn Jefferys (she/her).

Are you into nu metal? Thanks in part to explosive docs like Woodstock 99, niche bands like Korn and Limp Bizkit are gaining traction again. And while nu metal may always "suck" to the critics, today the genre seems to be having a moment. Today's guest stumbled his way to the front of this digital conversation, which has since led him to launch The Nümetal Agenda: a place where the diverse and ever-expanding nu metal culture comes together. Music journalist Holiday Kirk joins us from his home studio in Los Angeles, California to talk about everything from bad billionaires to high school haters, toxic masculinity in nu metal culture, and this love/hate genre coming back decades after peak commercial popularity.

Canadian healthcare is often mistaken for a truly universal system. Even medical doctors will tell you that while it saves lives, our Medicare still only covers the basics — and universal, single-payer, public Canadian Pharmacare is desperately needed.
Today on the pod, Canada's former federal minister of health, the Honourable Dr. Jane Philpott, joins us to expand on her recent op-ed for The Globe and Mail: 'Canada is failing to meet the moment on the cost of medication' .
Dr. Philpott also reflects on her time practicing medicine in the Global South, her time in Prime Minister Trudeau's original cabinet in Ottawa, and why she feels we need a "Tommy Douglas 2.0" to drive down the exorbitant costs of prescription medication.
________
"Unless there is a concerted effort to apply pressure on the Federal and Provincial governments, the erosion of Medicare will continue unabated and might even be accelerated. Our best hope lies in the Canadian Health Coalition…for the preservation and extension of Medicare."
―Tommy Douglas, father of Canadian Medicare"Canadians have considered the idea of universal drug coverage, as a complement to universal health care, for over five decades. For such a long-standing debate there is a surprising level of consensus. After hearing from many thousands of Canadians, we found a strongly held, shared belief that everyone in Canada should have access to prescription drugs based on their need and not their ability to pay, and delivered in a manner that is fair and sustainable. That’s why our council has recommended that Canada implement universal, single-payer, public pharmacare."
—2019 Final Report of the Advisory Council on the Implementation of National Pharmacare, chaired by Dr. Eric Hoskins________

Tommy Siegel can read your mind.
Not really, but his candy heart comics do reveal the tortured inner monologues of humanity. Tommy joined us from Los Angeles, California to talk about animation, American politics, and his natural proclivity for drawing butts on things.
We also learned that when he isn't trying to land a book deal or get published by The New Yorker, you can usually find Tommy birdwatching or making music with Jukebox the Ghost.

Hey bb. It's 2023. We're back!* It also happens to be Galentine's Day, so we're joined by celebrated Anishinaabe pundit Riley Yesno.
You might recognize her from television — she's a regular commentator on CBC news and her fam are recent competitors on Canadian Family Feud — or from her prolific body of published work in news and academia.
Together we dig into Toronto Mayor John Tory's bombshell resignation, the unanswered calls to #DefundThePolice, urban Native visibility and rights portability off the rez, and (most importantly) the inside scoop on the ultimate fairy tale queer romance.( *like Rhianna ).

You definitely know The Simpsons.
But you may not know Josh Weinstein — one of the show's original writers from the 1990s.
Remember when Homer met Billy Corgan? Or when Milhouse became Thrillhouse? How about the gay steel mill?
Well, Josh Weinstein actually wrote those episodes. He worked with comedic icons like Conan O'Brien to craft some of the most quoteable lines ever delivered by America's favourite cartoon family.
Today on the pod we sit down with Josh to go over everything from conspiracy theories, to working with celebrities like Glenn Close and The Smashing Pumpkins, to predicting the future, to the ubiquitous Halloween gags in Treehouse of Horror.
So pour a Duff (or maybe some Malk), forge your couch groove, and buckle in for some of the juiciest storytelling since Christopher Walken read Goodnight, Moon.

Has anything changed since the June 6 2021 terror attack that saw the Afzaal family brutally murdered in London, Ontario? Are Canadian streets any safer today, one year on, for the visibly Muslim?
Future lawyer and proud Marsh Iraqi Nur Al Ebeid joins us today to discuss. Nur is working toward her dual degree juris doctor from uOttawa and masters in international affairs from Carleton University.
The daughter of refugees, Nur was born in London, ON — a small southwestern Ontario city near the U.S. border. Southern Iraq's marshlands, also known as the Mesopotamian marshes, are still considered by some to be the cradle of civilization. Nur's family were forced out of this region when Sadam Hussein drained these marshes in the 1990s, wiping out thousands of homes and countless wildlife. The original Garden of Eden was once found in this sacred region. Today these once lush, vast marshes are mostly desert.In this episode, we hear from Nur about her ancestors' way of life in الاهوار بلاد ما بين النهرين. We also discuss nationhood, belonging, #OurLondonFamily, Islamophobia, the fallout from bills 21 and 96 in Quebec, and the hate that too often spans generations in this country.
