Episode description

So many TV shows and movies mine the dramatic potential of those first few days on campus where new students get to re-invent themselves.But despite everything that’s come before it, Benito Skinner’s new show, 'Overcompensating,' treads new ground. Chris Murphy and Jackson Weaver join guest host Rad Simponpillai to talk about why it’s so refreshing. Plus, ‘0-60 Driving Academy’ is a new series that’s being called Atlantic Canada’s first Black sitcom. It’s also inspired by the real life experiences of Dartmouth based driving instructor Steve Lawrence. Elamin is joined by author and artist Guyleigh Johnson to discuss the series and what it says about African Nova Scotian culture.
