PP vs. The CBC (UNPACKING THE NEWS S2, E1)

Trailblazing progressive podcast UNPACKING THE NEWS is back after a 30 month hiatus for an all-new Season 2! In this kick-off episode BERRYGROUNDS' Justin Brake joins host Andre Goulet to explore how his work as The Independent interim editor will be afflicting the comfortable in Newfoundland and Labrador society and politics, his background in unapologetic, confrontational journalism and how Pierre Poilievre’s attacks on the CBC distort the reality of public broadcasting in so-called Canada.

Watch for new episodes this spring and summer co-produced with Briarpatch contributors celebrating the magazine's 50th anniversary, Fernwood Publishing authors discussing new releases, conversations with data activists at the Mobilizing Data for Justice conference May 5-7 plus a week-long daily show at the 2023 Canadian Labour Congress covering events at the year's big union conference happening May 8-12 in collaboration with our friends at Quebec solidarity journalism cooperative Pivot.
