CANADALAND

We're bringing you something different: an episode of the brand-new CBC series The Devil You Know with Sarah Marshall.In the 1980s and 90s, Satan and his followers were accused of brainwashing children, sacrificing babies, and infiltrating North American society on a massive scale — yet these thousands of alleged Satanists were nowhere to be found. In the all new 8-part series, The Devil You Know from CBC, host Sarah Marshall (You're Wrong About) explores the tangled web of the Satanic Panic, in a journey that will take you everywhere from Victoria, B.C. to rural Kentucky to San Antonio, Texas. This is a show about the people who experienced the Satanic Panic in real-time — the believers, the skeptics, the bystanders, and the wrongfully-convicted. All episodes of The Devil You Know are available now. Episode 2: Marylyn RemembersMichelle Remembers is the 1980 “biographical” book that brought the idea of Satanic cults into the mainstream. In it, Michelle Smith documents years of alleged Satanic ritual abuse and the man who helped her remember it, psychiatrist Lawrence Pazder. We talk to those who thought they knew Michelle and Larry best: their families. They tell us what it was like to witness the birth of the Satanic Panic from the most intimate vantage point — and how it shattered their lives. Hosted on Acast.

Their stated goal is to manipulate your media and, by extension, you. We're not flagging a secretive government agency here, not some media oligarch, no one in the usual line-up of Bondesque villains. In fact, many of us love what these master manipulators do. They are, drum roll please…composers! Their work literally underscores much of the podcast world. Their power lies in their ability to bypass the intellect and go straight for the heart. Chill it, warm it, speed it up. Today we meet some of the most influential and largely invisible creators in the media landscape.

United States Attorney General Pam Bondi is flexing the US's military seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker as the Trump administration deploys warships — and even nuclear submarines — off Venezuela's coast. The White House says it's about drugs, but it also signals a broader shift laid out in the new US National Security Strategy. So far, the Canadian government has been pretty quiet about what our closest ally is doing in Venezuela, and about this ominous security strategy.So what is a middle power supposed to do when its closest ally goes rogue?

Over 50 people ended up in hospital. There was a police investigation but the case was never solved. Over the decades theories as to who and why have sprouted. These range from disgruntled caterers to vengeful bikers to insurance scams.Canadaland decided to take up the case and look for the answer: who spiked the Titanic chowder?Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Julian Abraham (Reporter), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Caleb Thompson (Mixing & Mastering) max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Additional Writing and Production from Rick Courtney.Fact checking by max collinsAdditional music by Audio NetworkMore information:Further Reading:“Grips are doing wheelies in wheelchairs” - VarietyJames Cameron Recalls the Night the Titanic Crew Were Spiked with PCP - CBCJames Cameron on CBC's The Q - VideoSponsors: MUBI: To stream great cinema at home, you can try MUBI free for 30 days at mubi.com/canadaland.BetterHelp: Visit https://BetterHelp.com/canadaland today to get 10% off your first month.Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

 The CBC is broken: how should it be fixed? Defund the whole thing? Refund the whole thing? Double down on digital? Stop chasing digital relevance?The list goes on and on. You've heard them all. But for a moment, forget about funding or even political bias. Just ask: why does the CBC exist? What is its underlying ideology? Not its political ideology, but its philosophy for why we need it. Does it have one? Does it need one? If it does have one, is it working or is that what needs to change?David Cayley spent over 40 years at the CBC as a journalist and producer. For 30 of those years he worked on CBC Radio's Ideas program. He's now published a book, The CBC: How Canada's Public Broadcaster Lost Its Voice (and How it Can Get it Back). It's both an ideological history of the CBC's past and a manifesto for the CBC's future.In it, he puts his finger right on the root problem. The CBC is there for everyone. It's supposed to speak to all of the Canadian public. However, if the public has splintered beyond recognition, what's left to speak to?Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Featured Guest: David CayleyFact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkMore information:The CBC: How Canada's Public Broadcaster Lost Its Voice (and How it Can Get it Back) — Sutherland HouseDavid CayleySponsors: oxio: Head over to https://canadaland.oxio.ca and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!

One of the world's biggest online gaming sites, Roblox, is in the courts. The cases involve the alleged sexual exploitation of a minor, online harassment, and business practices that lead to addiction.That last charge, involving addiction, is connected to an aspect of online gaming that's passing mostly under the radar. The “gamblification” of games for children. It's a charge that's been levelled at not just Roblox but a number of other high profile companies from Microsoft to Ubisoft. Tricks of the trade from casinos have made their way into the gaming world.Professor Sarah Grimes, professor of communication studies at McGill, spends her time researching how kids, particularly kids in elementary school, interact with tech. How it harms, how it helps, how they use it to communicate with each other, and how it shapes their place in the world. She's here to talk about what it means when kid's games turn into gambling.Host: Bruce ThorsonCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Featured Guest: Sarah GrimesFact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkMore information:https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonwosborne/2023/05/25/how-loot-boxes-in-childrens-video-games-encourage-gambling/https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/roblox-faces-bc-lawsuit-by-12-year-old-addicted-to-websitehttps://www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/article/quebec-lawsuit-alleges-video-games-are-gathering-childrens-personal-data/Sponsors: CAMH: CAMH is building better mental health care for everyone to ensure no one is left behind.

Canada is pulling back from progressive policies, but were we ever really committed to them in the first place?

In October, seven OBGYNs at a Kamloops, B.C. hospital signed a letter of resignation. Those seven were the only OBGYNs in the city.We're used to bad headlines about Canada's healthcare system. Lack of family doctors, emergency room wait times, delayed procedures, but this was different. Mass resignation threatening an entire branch of treatment for the whole city. The letter of resignation is effectively a protest, a warning. The physicians who signed it say their workload is untenable and is placing patients at risk. The resignations will be staggered over the coming months and the provincial government is taking a variety of steps to deal with the fallout. Including offering temporary replacement doctors over $7000 a day to take shifts in Kamloops. Kristen Holliday is the regional editor for Castanet News in Kamloops. She joins us today to unpack the mass resignation.Host: Bruce ThorsonCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor & Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Featured Guest: Kristen HollidayFact checking by Julian AbrahamAdditional music by Audio NetworkMore information:Plan for pediatrics at Kelowna General Hospital sent to ministry as doctor concerns get heard — CastanetDoctor shortage forces another closure of Kamloops' busiest maternity clinic — Castanet7 OB/GYNs resign from Kamloops hospital due to safety concerns — Global NewsInterior Health willing to pay more than $7K per day to fill maternity shifts at Kamloops hospital — CastanetToo Many Canadians Are Leaving Emergency Rooms Untreated — MEISponsors: CAMH Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

Noor Azrieh talks to Jesse Brown about his new Canadaland series, What Is Happening Here?It's no secret that Jesse Brown and Canadaland have had more than a few struggles, online and in the office, since October 7. But, eventually, Jesse Brown swore off Twitter and then the dust (and the office) settled, mostly. Now Jesse is about to launch a new series where he travels across Canada, mic in hand, to talk with rabbis, activists, politicians, scholars, artists, Muslims, and Jews. People whose lives haven't been the same since October 7.Canadaland's Noor Azrieh couldn't quite believe what she was hearing when Jesse announced his intent for the new show. Why re-ignite the sh*tstorm? Why now? What are you trying to achieve?

Is Trump's crazy train an existential threat to Canada or an existential opportunity?Cory Doctorow gave the world the concept of “ensh*ttification”. Doctorow's doctrine says there is a gradual but inevitable process by which tech platforms go from marvelous and novel and exciting to, well, they go to sh*t. They get less useful and more spammy. Your Netflix library gets smaller while your monthly fee gets bigger. It gets harder to find the Google link you were looking for underneath all the sponsored links. Uber rates seem to always be set to surge pricing. The idea can be applied to Canada itself. For a long time we enjoyed bundled access to the U.S. cable package. We got access to their markets. We got military protection. We were along for the ride of globalization. All we had to do was play by their trade rules, their foreign policy expectations. We had to subscribe to their vision of the world.But the beta test is over. Now that we are locked into their platform, introductory rates are no longer available. If we want to trade with them, it'll cost us. If we want a golden dome protecting us, it'll cost us. Even if we just want off the crazy train, it'll cost us.Can we unsh*ttify Canada?Host: Jesse BrownCredits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor & Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Featured guest: Cory DoctorowFact checking by Julian AbrahamMore information:https://craphound.com/Sponsors: oxio: Head over to https://canadaland.oxio.ca and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!
