    Planning a wedding, having a wedding then a honeymoon, it'll be too busy, unfortunately. But I wanted to mark the one year mark of this show. Thank you to all who've listened, come on, and stuck with me through a tumultuous year.

  • Carney, News Media Prepare for War ft. Ian Barclay

    Carney, News Media Prepare for War ft. Ian Barclay
    Sep 2 2025

    Carney's latest trip to Europe highlighted Canada's commitment to militarism, including leaving the door open to Canadian boots on the ground in Ukraine. Billions of dollars for the military, extended missions in Latvia, commitments to buying arms for Ukraine, how is this all covered? Ian Barclay, editor-in-chief of Avant-Garde Press, journalist and Canadian Armed Forces veteran joins Scott to discuss rising militarism, news media's role in it and a more realistic picture of NATO and the Ukraine-Russia war that coverage doesn't include.

  • Doug Ford's Stupid F**king Tunnel ft. Glyn Bowerman

    Doug Ford's Stupid F**king Tunnel ft. Glyn Bowerman
    Aug 19 2025

    One of the stories lately that regularly gets media attention (and deserved mockery) is Ontario premier Doug Ford's insistence that his government will initiate the process to build a tunnel underneath Highway 401. This tunnel, which is supposed to stretch from Mississauga to Scarborough, will apparently have three lanes ontop of each other. This will solve congestion, we're told. No, this isn't a joke. He's dead serious. Glyn Bowerman, journalist and host of the Spacing Radio podcast, joins Scott to discuss the political utility of Ford's fantastical tunnel, how the news media has hit the criticisms on the money, but how they omit Ford's posturing in the greater scheme of his tenure as premier of Ontario. Finally, they discuss a troubling bulletin from a deputy editor at La Presse.
