Dans une ambiance bien moins aseptisée que celle du célèbre show Netflix, elle a rencontré Rokhaya Diallo pour lui poser une question brûlante: Comment fait-elle? Comment fait la journaliste, autrice et réalisatrice, femme noire française et musulmane, pour trouver l’énergie de débattre à la télévision et à la radio de racisme et de sexisme, des sujets si difficiles à aborder outre-Atlantique? Diallo décrypte les enjeux politiques et culturels qui paralysent le milieu des médias français et rendent ces discussions presque impossibles. Dans la deuxième partie de l’émission, Emilie et Rokhaya s’intéressent à l’affaire dite “des viols de Mazan” qui offre un éclairage inédit sur les

Depuis l’investiture de Kamala Harris à la candidature démocrate, le parti a le vent dans les voiles et devance le camp de Donald Trump de quelques points de pourcentage. Pour comprendre ce qui se joue en coulisse, Emilie reçoit Kara Sheppard-Jones, spécialiste de mobilisation politique et sociale. Américaine et Canadienne, Sheppard-Jones a œuvré pour plusieurs campagnes électorales, notamment aux États-Unis. Elle décrypte pour nous les enjeux qui sous-tendent la campagne de Kamala Harris et les divisions qui menacent le camp démocrate, avant d’analyser les stratégies de communication du parti Républicain. Dans la deuxième partie de l’émission, Emilie et Kara reviennent sur l’art de mobiliser, la professionnalisation grandissante de ce champ d’activité, et les différences culturelles entre l’activisme politique américain et québécois.Since the nomination of Kamala Harris as the Democratic candidate, the party leads the race by a few percentage points.

With Postmedia ending daily print editions of The Telegram — leaving Newfoundland and Labrador without a single daily paper — we wonder how to keep talking shit about the news when the news itself keeps on disappearing. Plus, while National Post columnist Adam Zivo’s unlikely foray into international espionage makes for a great anecdote, there's good reason why journalists shouldn’t moonlight as spies.Karyn Pugliese joins for this very special farewell to Jonathan Goldsbie.  Host: Jonathan GoldsbieCredits: James Nicholson (Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), max collins (Production Manager), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Guest: Karyn Pugliese Further Reading On Our WebsiteSponsors: Douglas:  Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced in May that Canada’s temporary visa program for Gazans would be expanded, from 1000 to 5000. But eight months into the program, only 206 people have actually made it over to Canada  - and to do so, they had to find their own ways out of Gaza.Meanwhile, thousands of Gazans are still waiting to hear back on the status of their applications. What is going on? And has Canada misled people hoping for a way out of a crisis?  Host: Karyn Pugliese Credits: Jonathan Goldsbie (News Editor), Cherise Seucharan (Reporter), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), max collins (Production Manager), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Additional music by Audio NetworkFurther Reading on Our WebsiteSponsorsArticle: Article is offering our listeners $50 off your first purchase of $100 or more.

It’s all optimism at the Democratic National Convention, and Canadian headlines are reflecting the enthusiasm around Kamala Harris, but is all this hope just wishful thinking? TikToker Frank Domenic joins to assess the return of optimism to political discourse in the US and Canada. Plus, Pierre Poilievre promptly removes a promo video after it’s dragged online.

Part family-owned theme park and part roadside zoo, Marineland was once the kind of place where you could get kissed by an orca and feed corn pops to bears.But then it kept being that kind of place, well into this century, and the problems piled up: newspaper exposés, official investigations, a federal law designed to end the captivity of whales and dolphins once and for all. Yet the Niagara Falls mainstay would defiantly reopen year after year. Until this year. Marineland still welcomes visitors, but, like a dead mall, nearly everything inside is now closed. Recently, we trekked there to learn what this limbo looks like for Canada’s last captive cetaceans.Host: Jonathan GoldsbieCredits: Jonathan Goldsbie (News Editor), Cherise Seucharan (Reporter), Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Mia Johnson (Journalism Fellow), max collins (Production Manager), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Additional music by Audio NetworkFurther reading:Marineland guilty o

Cette année à Montréal, le Festival de la Fierté a pris la forme d’une véritable vignette de l’année 2024, marquée par des pluies diluviennes et des inondations dues aux changements climatiques, des manifestations pro-Palestine, des policiers en grand nombre, et des droits civils toujours plus menacés pour les personnes de la communauté LGBTQIA+. Emilie revient sur ces événements avec Gabrielle Drolet, journaliste indépendante et illustratrice, qui était présente lors de la marche du 11 août. En plus de livrer son témoignage, Gabrielle revient sur l’histoire et les valeurs de la Fierté, un moment caractérisé par la joie et la fête, mais aussi la lutte et l’inclusion. En deuxième partie d’émission, l’illustratrice partage ses réflexions sur son rôle de cartoonist pour le Globe & Mail où elle publie chaque semaine un dessin d’opinion, et son travail de journaliste culturelle.This year, the Montreal Pride Festival has been a veritable vignette of 2024, with torrential rains and floods due to climate change,

Bots are buzzing about Pierre Pollievre and the McGill campus protests, but is it worth reporting?

Most of us find joy in melodies and rhythms. Catchy tunes we hear at the coffee shop, in the mall, or even muzak in the elevator can get stuck in our heads. That's what happened to Anya. Except, music did not bring her joy; it felt like torture. When songs got stuck in Anya's head, they would not stop; the music was loud, pounding incessantly, and it left her bewildered, exhausted, and desperate for a cure. Her condition stumped doctors for years. Then, hope. Via a new kind of brain surgery, pioneered, in part, here in Canada.Content warning: Today’s episode talks about suicide ideation.

Justin Ling has kind of had it. While the veteran political journalist has endless patience for people in power trying to do the right thing, he can’t stand when a government refuses to see reality. So when Canada’s Heritage Minister reacted with surprise to the suggestion that, despite everything her government’s done for it, the country’s news media is still worse off than ever – well, that’s enough to radicalize a fella.On this week’s show, Karyn and Jonathan talk to Justin about his dispiriting interview with Pascale St-Onge, why he believes the Trudeau government’s efforts to save the media have been across-the-board failures, and what it would take to actually turn things around for this industry before it finally collapses and takes Canada’s democracy down with it.Correction: in an earlier version of this podcast it was stated 88 per cent of Canadians did not know Meta had wiped news from its platforms, this has been corrected. The number is 78 per cent.Host: Karyn PuglieseGuest: Justin LingCredit

Pour la première fois, les Jeux Olympiques comptent autant d’athlètes hommes que d’athlètes femmes. Pourtant, parité ne signifie pas égalité. Que ce soit sur les terrains de sport ou dans les salles de nouvelles qui leur sont dédiées, femmes et hommes ne reçoivent ni les mêmes moyens ni un traitement égal. Pour cette émission, Emilie Nicolas reçoit Emna Achour, ex-journaliste sportive reconvertie en humoriste. Emna lève le voile sur les coulisses de ces rédactions et analyse les différences de traitement entre athlètes femmes et athlètes hommes. En deuxième partie, Emilie et Emna s’intéressent au rôle de l’humour et des humoristes dans l’analyse des nouvelles, un rôle que notre invitée perçoit comme étant éminemment politique.For the first time, the Olympic Games showcase as many male athletes as female athletes. But parity does not mean equality. Whether on sports fields or in newsrooms dedicated to sports, women and men don’t benefit from the same resources, nor do they receive equal treatment.

All this talk of major leaders stepping aside, but it’s the Mayor of Kamloops BC, Reid Hamer-Jackson, who has our attention. In a raucous ‘resignation related” press conference, Hamer-Jackson singles out one Kamloops media member, radio host Brett Mineer, in particular. Plus, Kamala Harris replaces Joe Biden, and the Canadian media revives her tenuous connections to Canada. Shouldn’t we be pressuring Trudeau to step aside? Jen Gerson explains why messianic ego and the Liberal’s lack of grit will keep Trudeau in place until the next election. Host: Jesse BrownCredits: James Nicholson (Producer), max collins (Production Manager), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)Guest: Jen Gerson Further reading on our website Sponsors: Douglas:  Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.
