Vass and Allison host a live radio show on Toronto's CIUT 89.5 FM on pop culture, politics, feminism and whatever else they are feeling passionate about this week. Smart talk with a millennial bent.
INVESTIGATING THE TREATMENT OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT COMPLAINTS AT CIUT 89.5 FM with suspended host Jamaias DaCosta. We detangle CIUT’s mishandling of sexual harassment allegations against a male host and its suspension of the woman who made them — former co-host of the show Indigenous Waves, Jamaias DaCosta. We hear from Jamaias about her experiences with the station and discuss why community radio needs more community. TUNES: Alaska by Maggie Rogers Playinwitme by KYLE ft.
