A side-two burner with a secret third verse? The panel digs into the 1988 Horseshoe debut and discovers 'Every Time You Go' was once a song called 'Holding Out'.Episode SummaryThe wheel said 'Every Time You Go', and the wheel does not lie. This week, The Tragically Hip On Shuffle takes on the side-two rocker from "Up to Here" (1989) - played live 61 times between July 15th, 1988 and June 25th, 2004, three of them as encores, and ranked #93 of 169 on the fan countdown, sandwiched between 'Heaven Is a Better Place Today' and 'When the Weight Comes Down'. jD gathers Andrew from Winnipeg, Adam from South Tampa, and Daryl from Belleville to debate, discuss, and dissect it.The listening party spins the demo from the "Up to Here" box set - a skeleton with muscle, as jD puts it, alive but not quite finished. Then comes the find of the night: both Daryl and Adam independently dug up the song's live debut at the Horseshoe Tavern, July 15th, 1988, where Gord Downie introduces it as 'Holding Out', dedicates it to race car driver Bobby Rahal, and sings a lost third verse - a prom dress, a tear-stained vest, and a waltz - that the band later cut. They did not play it again for a year. So there's that.From there it's a close read of the lyrics - knowing a Dave, the big snake pit, a birthday suitcase brown from dust from no place, and the formidable "my girl don't just walk, she unfurls" - plus the Thunder Road parallel, the highway girl connection, and Andrew's case that this song is the musical blueprint for 'Little Bones'. The poll lands at 69% love it, the panel wrestles with a front-loaded record and a side two that swings, and Adam asks the question every box-set owner is asking: how did 'Wait So Long' not make this album?The wheel gets spun twice (a first - the chat caught a repeat), the Kingston gathering gets a massive plug, and a big scheduling announcement lands: next week's live stream moves to Tuesday night, because Wednesday belongs to the debut of Yer Hipstories: Reflections From The Final Tour.The PanelAndrew from Winnipeg - host of Alphabet Soup on UMFM (the letter Z is up next), the Radiohead podcast Head Full of Radio, and Threads Bachelorette. This week's cheerful tolerator, and the man who spotted the 'Little Bones'DNA.Adam from South Tampa - retired, armed with the actual countdown brochure, and the one who caught the play-count error in the listing. Grateful this song is not the Paul Young one.Daryl from Belleville - survived a last-minute audio miracle (and a spilled plant) to get on the stream. Vintage Hip evangelist who introduced "Up to Here" to his 17-year-old daughter, and co-discoverer of the lost verse.Timestamps00:00 - Welcome and panel introductions01:23 - First hit: favourite Hip summer jams06:06 - The tale of the tape: 'Every Time You Go' by the numbers08:32 - Poll check: 69% love it10:56 - Listening party: the demo from the "Up to Here" box set14:32 - First reactions: reverb, toms, and background vocals17:00 - The lost verse: July 15th, 1988 at the Horseshoe, and a song called 'Holding Out'20:47 - Andrew hears 'Little Bones' in the bones25:57 - The curse of the first two records29:31 - The lyrics: Daves, snake pits, and a girl who unfurls36:11 - Side two of "Up to Here": front-loaded or fully loaded?44:46 - The 'Wait So Long' problem46:56 - Final thoughts around the table53:37 - Spin the wheel - twice57:05 - Big announcements: Tuesday streams and a new series58:37 - Plugs and the Kingston gatheringResources & ReferencesSetlist and play-count data: hat tip to the Hip Handbook and setlist.fmThe 1988 Horseshoe Tavern recording courtesy of The Tragically Hip Archive - preservation work that made the whole episodeThe demo of 'Every Time You Go' comes from the "Up to Here" box setPodcasts plugged this week: Sarah's Tangentially Hip, Head Full of Radio, Alphabet Soup on UMFM, and Threads BacheloretteJoin InThe randomness is the feature, and the community is the point. Join the community Facebook group to catch the next live stream, vote in the polls, and share your take in the chat.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Rory Johnston to the show. Rory Johnston is a Commodity Market Research Specializing in Oil and Gas. Johnston describes an unprecedented period of volatility in oil markets, where the supply-demand balance swung radically within a single month. Following a ceasefire in the Strait of Hormuz, a surge of previously stranded tankers created a temporary mini-glut, flipping market structures from severe backwardation into contango. However, this glut proved fleeting as inbound empty tankers, initially driven by the most risk-tolerant owners, have dried up, leaving Gulf loadings constrained by available shipping capacity. Consequently, supply is tightening aggressively again. The most significant factor absorbing the supply shock is China, which swung its crude imports down by five million barrels per day without clear economic damage domestically. Johnston explores speculative explanations, including massive refined product stock releases, a coal-to-petrochemical feedstock switch, or a geopolitical understanding with the US. He also suggests China may be using the crisis as a successful dry run for weathering a potential blockade in a Taiwan conflict scenario. This swing, totaling roughly half a billion barrels, dwarfs the collective releases from IEA member states. Beyond crude, the refined products market, particularly diesel, is critically tight. Diesel crack spreads have soared to staggering levels, driven by drone attacks damaging Russian refineries, prior damage in the Middle East, and China slashing product exports. Johnston clarifies that strategic petroleum reserves function as a supply boost, not passive inventory, and that operational tank minimums at hubs like Cushing primarily affect regional price differentials to discourage exports, not trigger infinite crude spikes. He concludes that the overriding vulnerability is refining capacity, which is easy to target and hard to defend, making North American facilities a potentially valuable geopolitical safe haven in the current drone warfare era.

After a stormy night in many parts of the province, several new wildfires are burning, including the Brunswick complex fires, which have doubled in size over the last week. CBC reporter Troy Charles joined the program for the latest on the fire and fire ecologist James Whitehead talked about what can be done to reduce the risk of more fires.

A non-binding trilateral agreement to advance the multibillion-dollar Pathways Project, as part of the push to build a new bitumen pipeline to B.C.'s southwest coast, has now been reached. But in this episode of the podcast, there are serious questions about the math: on emissions, economics, and business case.Host Kathleen Petty is joined this week by three journalists who have all been analyzing this latest MOU:Max Fawcett, lead columnist for Canada's National Observer.Emma Graney, energy reporter for the Globe and Mail.Jason Markusoff, writer and producer for the CBC.Along with some head-scratching when it comes to the math, the panel wonders about the ability to fill the new pipeline. They note the absence of oil company representatives alongside the prime minister and Alberta premier for these major announcements, and question how long the companies will sit on the sidelines.

Always talk to your own healthcare provider before changing your diet, supplements, or medications.Unlocking the Secrets of Ferritin: What Your Iron Levels Are Telling YouYour “normal” bloodwork might be hiding the real reason you're exhausted, foggy, and losing hairTL;DR: * Ferritin is your iron savings account — and most labs only flag it as “abnormal” once it's nearly empty. * A level of 14 or 22 ng/mL might get a “you're fine” from your doctor, but optimal energy, mood, cognition, and hair growth usually need ferritin closer to 70–100 ng/mL. * Low ferritin can come from menstrual blood loss, poor absorption (celiac disease, low stomach acid, H. pylori), or inflammation-driven hepcidin blocking iron uptake.* If you're fatigued, foggy, cold, or shedding hair, ask for a full iron panel — not just a ferritin number — and talk through the results with your doctor.There's an old Japanese proverb: “When the body speaks, the wise person listens. When the body whispers, the fool waits for it to scream.” In health diagnostics, one of the quietest whispers is your ferritin level. It's often overlooked, yet it can be the missing link behind exhaustion, hair loss, brain fog, or the frustrating experience of bloodwork that comes back “normal” while you still feel terrible.What Is Ferritin?Ferritin is your body's iron storage protein. Think of your iron levels like a financial setup: hemoglobin is your checking account, drawn on daily. Ferritin is your savings account, tapped only when things get tight. Under stress, your body will drain the savings account long before it lets the checking account — hemoglobin — run low. That's why you can have “normal” hemoglobin and still be iron-depleted. A low ferritin level means your reserves are running out, and that shows up as fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, and thinning hair.Normal vs. OptimalMost labs flag ferritin as “normal” above roughly 10–20 ng/mL. That threshold mostly means you're not in immediate danger — not that you're thriving. Levels associated with feeling genuinely well tend to run from 70 to 100 ng/mL. So if you've been told your ferritin of 14 or 22 is fine, but you still feel wiped out, you're not imagining it — you're just being measured against a bar set for avoiding crisis, not for feeling good.Why Your Ferritin Might Be Low* Menstrual blood loss. For many women, the cumulative loss over months and years outpaces dietary iron intake, slowly draining reserves.* Absorption issues. Even a solid iron intake doesn't help if it isn't absorbed. Silent celiac disease, low stomach acid, or an H. pylori infection can quietly block uptake for years.* Inhibitors and hepcidin. Coffee, tea, and dairy consumed close to meals can inhibit iron absorption. Separately, inflammation can push your liver to produce hepcidin, a hormone that shuts down iron uptake even when you're eating enough.Symptoms to WatchPersistent fatigue, thinning hair, feeling cold more easily than others, and brain fog are the classic signs. If two or more of these sound familiar, it's worth getting your ferritin checked specifically — not just assumed to be fine because your CBC looked normal.The Bigger PictureIron does far more than carry oxygen. It's involved in thyroid hormone conversion, dopamine production, mitochondrial energy synthesis, and hair follicle health. That means low ferritin can produce symptoms that look a lot like depression or hypothyroidism — even when your thyroid panel and mood screening come back clean.Taking Action* Review your bloodwork. Look specifically at ferritin. Anything under 70 ng/mL is worth a conversation with your doctor.* Ask for a full iron panel. Ferritin alone isn't the whole story — request serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), transferrin saturation, and CRP (to rule out inflammation skewing the picture).* Adjust absorption habits. Space coffee and tea away from meals, lean into iron-rich foods, and avoid taking calcium and iron supplements together.* Choose the right supplement, if needed. Ferrous sulfate is harsh on the gut for many people. Iron bisglycinate is gentler and pairs well with vitamin C for better absorption — but check with your provider before starting, especially if high ferritin is a concern.* Loop in a professional. This is especially important before making changes if you suspect elevated ferritin, since iron overload carries its own risks.Listening to Your Body's WhisperYour body is constantly sending signals. Ignored long enough, whispers become screams. Taking ferritin seriously — not just as a checkbox on a lab report, but as a meaningful marker — is one concrete way to catch a problem while it's still easy to fix.Final ThoughtsMonitoring and optimizing ferritin can meaningfully change how you feel day to day. It starts with a simple ask: get the right test, read the number in context, and act on what it's telling you. If you want a more personalized look at your own levels and symptoms, consider scheduling a comprehensive health session.Stay informed, stay healthy, and listen closely to what your body is telling you. Until next time, take care.References* Camaschella, C. (2015). Iron-deficiency anemia. New England Journal of Medicine.* WHO guidance on serum ferritin concentrations for the assessment of iron status.* Clinical literature on ferritin thresholds and symptomatic iron deficiency without anemia.* Hepcidin and inflammation's role in iron regulation — recent reviews in Blood and Haematologica.

In episode 94 (Season 5 finale), The Boston Sisters talk with Lawrence Hill, author of The Book of Negroes (2007), a novel inspired by an 18th-century British military ledger of African Americans who gained freedom serving the British in the Revolution. Hill's novel was adapted by the CBC into a miniseries in 2015. Hill discusses the novel's creation, Canada's complex history of slavery, shared African American/African Canadian history, and how book bans affect historical narratives.Content Note: “The Book of Negroes” is a 1783 historic document of names of Black Loyalists who fought for the British and later settled in Nova Scotia. This history was the inspiration for the title and story for the novel by Lawrence Hill published in 2007. The original title was changed in the U.S. to “Someone Knows My Name,” but went back to the original title following the success of the 2015 miniseries adaptation. In the podcast, “Negroes” is only mentioned in this context (1783 ledger, book and series titles).Lawrence Hill is the author of eleven novels and nonfiction works published worldwide and translated into many languages. His bestsellers include The Illegal and The Book of Negroes, which he adapted into an award-winning CBC/B.E.T. miniseries, and his memoir Black Berry, Sweet Juice, the first book-length exploration of Black and white, mixed-race identity in Canada. A professor of creative writing at the University of Guelph for thirty years, he has earned The Commonwealth Writers' Prize, the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize, an NAACP Image Award, CBC's Canada Reads (twice), a Canadian Screen Award, and for Aminata (the French translation of The Book of Negroes), Le combat des livres de Radio-Canada and Le Prix Folio-Télérama des libraires 2023. Lawrence Hill is a Member of the Order of Canada.------favorite podcast platformENJOY past podcasts and bonus episodesSIGN UP for our mailing listSUPPORT this podcast  SHOP THE PODCAST on our affiliate bookstoreBuy us a Coffee!

Malachi 2:17-3:5 by CBC of Savannah

Toronto's Salsa on St. Clair festival came to an abrupt end on Saturday night, after a shooting that left two people dead and several others injured. Police say there was an "exchange of gunfire" between two suspects. We get the latest from CBC reporter Lorenda Reddekopp who was enjoying the festival on her day off when the chaos erupted.

On the phone-in: Lawyer Jessica Lyle answers questions about wills and estate planning. And off the top of the show, the CBC's Carolyn Ray tells us the story of two sisters and a kidney donor operation. The sister who lives in Ottawa is not eligible to receive money to pay for a companion to travel with her so she can donate a kidney to her sister in NS. We also hear about a project to test moose livers for chemicals such as DDT in NB.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Rachel Phan about her powerful memoir, ⁠Restaurant Kid: A Memoir of Family & Belonging⁠ (Douglas & McIntyre, 2025). A warm and poignant narrative about finding one's self amidst the grind of restaurant life, the cross-generational immigrant experience, and a daughter's attempts to connect with parents who have always been just out of reach. When she was three years old, Rachel Phan met her replacement. Instead of a new sibling, her mother and father's time and attention were suddenly devoted entirely to their new family restaurant. For her parents—whose own families fled China during Japanese occupation and then survived bombs and starvation during the war in Vietnam—it was a dream come true. For Phan, it was something quite different. Overnight, she became a restaurant kid, living on the periphery of her own family and trying her best to stay out of the way. As Phan grew up, the restaurant was the most stalwart and suffocating member of her family. For decades, it's been both their crowning achievement and the origin of so much of their pain and suffering: screaming matches complete with smashed dishes; bodies worn down by long hours and repetitive strain; and tenuous relationships where the family loved one another deeply without ever really knowing each other. In Restaurant Kid, Phan seeks to examine the way her life has been shaped by the rigid boxes placed around her. She had to be a “good daughter,” never asking questions, always being grateful. She had to be a “real Canadian,” watching hockey and speaking English so flawlessly that her tongue has since forgotten how to contort around Cantonese tones. As the only Chinese girl at school, she had to alternate between being the sidekick, geek, or Asian fetish, depending on whose gaze was on her. Now, three decades after their restaurant first opened, Phan's parents are cautiously talking about retirement. As an adult, Phan's “good daughter” role demands something new of her—and a chance to get to know her parents away from the restaurant. In Restaurant Kid, Phan deftly combines candour, wit and insight to craft a vibrant and important narrative on the strength and foibles of family, and how we come to understand ourselves. Rachel Phan is a Chinese Canadian author. A graduate of Toronto Metropolitan University's Master of Journalism program, she and her work have been featured on CBC, Huffpost, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the Toronto Star, the National Post, Chatelaine, and Maclean's. Her instant national bestselling book, Restaurant Kid: A Memoir of Family and Belonging (2025), was named one of CBC Books' Best Books of 2025 and longlisted for Canada Reads in 2026.

Working from home over the summer, primarily working on the Un-WOW book but other things as well, I get to see what passes for daytime television today. It takes me back to my childhood a little when I would be at my grandparent's home during the summer months where they would watch me. This was in the archaic before-times, when cable television didn't exist. Although in Detroit we were living pretty large because we were able to get the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (or CBC) with our antenna. Even with this expanded option, my grandmother's TV was always tuned to the daytime soap operas, including the long-running One Life to Live. The show ran for 21 seasons, from 1968 to 2013. Being young, I never quite captured what was going on, but it all seemed pretty dramatic.  It is an interesting concept to ponder having ‘one life to live.' In a biological sense, that might be inarguable given that we are alive for a finite period of time. On the other hand, it is completely inaccurate. If you think about your own life, there are probably many different ‘lives' that you have lived. We might even think of them as stages in our lives, where we end one thing only to begin another. At some point, to quote The Talking Heads David Byrne, “And you may ask yourself, Well, how did I get here?” Beats me. Some parts of my life seem many lifetimes ago. I don't even know who that person was. I can see glimpses of him, but that person isn't here anymore. All that's left is me right now, and even that is transitory.  So, many lives and many transitions in one's life. In fact, we can say that life is about transformation and transition, changing and becoming. Much more than just one life to live.  My guest on Experience by Design today Danielle Bennett has, like all of us, undergone some transitions in her life. First was her stint in the Navy, working first on the surface fleet and in the air service, and then on submarines, where she learned valuable lessons in leadership and how small errors can lead to major consequences. Then there was the transition out of the Navy due to a medical discharge, meaning finding her place and purpose in civilian life. There also was the transition to being a franchise owner and entrepreneur, as well as consultant and coach. Additionally, there was her gender transition to becoming a woman, making the decision to become Danielle. We talk about lessons learned from the Navy, especially in the Silent Service, such as when a lack of coffee filters required immediate action. She also talks about how coaching girls softball and coaching business leaders can be very similar in that they both require helping guide people get the most out of themselves. Danielle uses the mantra of “Chin up, chest out” to promote pride in facing transitions with resilience. Danielle also shares how she works with clients to improve organizational systems, especially in the aerospace and defense industries.  Finally, Danielle talks about her book “Leadership Voltage: Capturing Lightning with Triadic Balance,” where she emphasizes “Growth is everything” and leaders need to empower (rather than manage). She also shares her business academy DS7 Precision, offering 12-14 weeks intensive coaching programs.  LEARN MORE: Danielle Bennett on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniellejoleighbennett/ Danielle Bennett Website: https://www.daniellejoleighbennett.com/   Radiant Legacy Collective: https://www.radiantlegacycollective.com/   DS7 Precision: https://ds7precision.com/   “Leadership Voltage”: https://www.amazon.com/Leadership-Voltage-Capturing-Lightning-Triadic/dp/B0GVNBYGHF/

Putin weaponized the justice system; he went after the media, the universities, and even pulled a comedy show off the air because it made fun of him. On this episode of Open Book, I sit down with Jamison Firestone, a guy who survived mobsters, bugged the Russian police, and watched his friend Sergei Magnitsky get tortured and killed for exposing the truth. We talk Yeltsin, Putin, Navalny, and yes, I ask him what Putin actually has on Trump. His answer might surprise you. Jamison Firestone established the first independent foreign law firm in Russia, where he lived for eighteen years. He was a member of the board of Directors of the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia for the last six of those. He is a co-founder, along with Sir William Browder, of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign, which created the Magnitsky human rights and anti-corruption sanctions regimes. He also ran the Navalny 35 campaign promoting the sanctioning of corrupt oligarchs and officials identified by Alexei Navalny. He currently works to seize Russian state assets for the benefit of Ukraine and has been featured on the BBC, Bloomberg, and CBC, as well as in several documentaries.

Oil market expert Rory Johnston provides a comprehensive analysis of the current global energy landscape and recent supply disruptions. He examines the Strait of Hormuz crisis, the impact of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries, and the surprising resilience of the market due to China’s massive reduction in crude imports. The discussion explores potential geopolitical shifts, such as the UAE's departure from OPEC and Iran's attempts to control vital shipping lanes. Ultimately, Johnston highlights a transition toward a more interventionist era where nations must prioritize energy sovereignty and infrastructure diversification to survive future shocks.

EPISODE 735 - Alison McBain - Do something creative every day, The New Empire - A  journey of self-discovery has a steep priceIn this episode of Living The Next Chapter, host Dave welcomes Alison McBain, a prolific Canadian author based near Edmonton, Alberta. With a dual American-Canadian heritage, Alison shares her journey from growing up in the States to returning home three years ago, embracing the region's chilly winters now softened by a rare heat wave. She dives into the golden age of publishing, where endless options overwhelm new authors, urging them to ignore the noise, write their stories relentlessly, and persevere through rejections—since that's the true divide between published and unpublished writers.Alison reveals how she discovered her versatile voice by writing prolifically across genres, embracing failures publicly for accountability, and drawing from life's odd jobs and family chaos, like raising three kids. Writing is her passion, akin to breathing; she gets lost in it for hours, reads voraciously from history to fantasy, and rejects "write what you know" for "write what you love," crafting relatable characters in wild scenarios—from spaceships to dragons. She champions individual human experiences over AI's generic output, confident creativity remains our domain.Highlights include her award-winning alternate history The New Empire, inspired by speculative Chinese voyages to 14th-century Americas, exploring a slave boy's coming-of-age amid empire-building. Other gems: a romance born from her nightmare house renovation (now a streaming e-book), the collaborative fantasy anthology Enchantress of Books, and a gender-flipped Beauty and the Beast YA tale challenging power dynamics and beauty standards. In 2024's bold "Author vs. AI" challenge, she penned 34 first drafts across genres like Western and horror—now polishing for release—proving genre-hopping builds loyal readers if stories resonate.Media buzz from CBC and City News followed, fueled by her human-centric ethos. Alison battles imposter syndrome healthily, cherishes reader connections over unnoticed details, and crafts complex villains for narrative drive. Her motto: Do something creative daily, from writing to music.Key Takeaway: Everyone has a story worth telling—shut out distractions, write with passion and perseverance, and let relatable characters connect you to readers who'll cherish your unique voice.https://www.alisonmcbain.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the GRAND FINALE (Session 12) on lyin' Michelle Alexander's *The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness*. Alexander has a living White mother and a deceased Black father. Despite 15 years of institutional celebration for her work, Gus T. anticipated this title being one of the "5 Worst Books Ever." History shows that racists generally do not promote literature that provides an accurate understanding of the System of White Supremacy. This week, we drop the final Mario Elie "Kiss of Death" three-pointer on this text, permanently closing the casket on a 15-year academic hustle. We open the final chapter, *Obama: The Promise and the Peril*, and interrogate the absolute peak of her biographical dishonesty where she explicitly labels Affirmative Action a "racial bribe" that Black people must surrender to play academic "games of chicken" with their own survival. We back up our 12-week forensic media audit by deploying a devastating 14-minute custom audio track from our own 2010 CREE archive and 2016 public media slips. We let the Pusha T, Kendrick Lamar, Ray Charles, and Neely Fuller Jr. audio do the talking because Michelle Alexander has officially fouled out of the game! THE 15-POINT FORENSIC AUDIT SUMMARY: 1. The Manufactured "Underdog" Narrative: Claims she launched to half-empty rooms to conceal the massive institutional "push" that put her on C-SPAN, NPR, and Democracy Now within 5 months of publication. 2. Systemic Deception by Omission: Completely erases COINTELPRO, Jon Burge's torture ring, Attica, and the Black Panthers to bury earlier, more accurate structural work on the Prison-Industrial Complex. 3. Hidden Biographical Motivation: Willfully conceals her multi-ethnic background to hide her personal family defenses under the guise of objective scholarship. 4. Centering White Trauma: Explicitly argues that White women who chose to have interracial relationships under Jim Crow were primary, injured victims of a racial caste system. 5. The Fraudulent "Bribe" Thesis: Claims White people must be "bribed" to practice Racism, belied by a System of White Supremacy where whiteness automatically requires total domination. 6. Reckless Statistical Manipulation: Arbitrarily changes her state prison violent offender statistic from 33% to 52% between editions with zero data reconciliation or explanation. 7. Specious Claims as Fact: Drops massive, sweeping assertions straight onto the print page with absolutely zero footnotes or supporting empirical documentation. 8. The 1980s Progress Myth: Asserts that by the 1980s, the vast majority of White people opposed the practice of Racism—a completely ahistorical claim unsupported by any evidence. 9. Pathologizing Defense Mechanisms: Labels Affirmative Action a "racial bribe" for Black people, telling the victims of state terror to disarm while the system keeps its weapons. 10. Erasing the Real Beneficiaries: Refuses to inform readers of macro-data showing that White women have historically benefited most from Affirmative Action pipelines. 11. The "Accidental" Absolution: Labors mightily to frame the White power structure as ignorant, well-meaning, and "accidentally" racist to shield calculated state intent from exposure. 12. Coddling Whites, Targeting Black Institutions: Sweeps away structural White guilt while using print space to aggressively scold the CBC, the NAACP, and Bill Cosby. 13. Minstrel Linguistic Framing: Selectively quotes Black interviewees in broken, stereotypical English to frame them as inarticulate and implicitly deserving of incarceration. 14. Double-Dipping the Carceral Ledger: Hides that her husband Carter Stewart profited as a federal prosecutor caging Black bodies, while she profited off the fake literary outrage industry. 15. White-Identified Pronoun Usage: Deploys a slippery use of "we," "us," and "our" to identify with White spaces and lump the victims of Racism in as equally culpable for the system.

Note: this episode contains spoilers for the movie Obsession!This week, we're bringing you an episode you're gonna be absolutely OBSESSED with (wink wink). In this episode, Marcelle and Hannah dig deep into the extremely zeitgeisty horror film Obsession (2026, dir. Curry Barker). Marcelle walks us through the movie's explosive popularity, its complicated ideas of consent, and the complexity of the horror genre's treatment of gender and setting. By examining the movie through the lens of “incel horror,” they examine the film's treatment of masculinity and the anxieties surrounding contemporary romantic relationships.Related listening:Spare x Tender MasculinityGet Out x Horrifying WhitenessBook 6, Ep. 3 | Rape CultureWorks Cited:Barasch, Alex. “The Twenty-Six-Year-Old Behind ‘Obsession,' a Terrifying Tale of a Crush Gone Awry.” The New Yorker.

Fifa has introduced mandatory hydration breaks for this World Cup, essentially splitting the games into four quarters. The mandatory three-minute drinks stoppage at all 104 games has been introduced to help players cope with the stifling heat and humidity levels in Mexico, Canada and the United States. It has been criticised for allowing coaches to make tactical changes while broadcasters can - and many have - opted to cut to lucrative commercial breaks while play is halted.The breaks have also attracted criticism from the likes of the Netherlands captain Virgil van Dijk and USA head coach Mauricio Pochettino. Fifa says the measure "is part of a focused attempt to ensure the best possible conditions for players, drawing upon the experiences of previous tournaments, including the recent FIFA Club World Cup." In a special bonus episode from the More than the Score podcast, the BBC's Lee James is joined in Toronto by CBC's Olympic and sports commentator Matt Cullen, and BBC football tactics correspondent Umir Irfan, to discuss who benefits from a mid-half break in play - players or broadcasters? More than the Score brings you more than the men's football World Cup - the new teams, standout stars, trends and fandoms shaping the tournament in ways the stats don't show. With 48 teams competing across Mexico, the US and Canada, BBC World Service promises to take you deeper - from the group stages to the final.

Relatives of those who died by suicide discovered their loved ones had been active in online forums for those looking for ways to end their lives. They were directed to a retailer selling fatal quantities of sodium nitrite to people in crisis in more than 40 countries. Police and journalists hunted down Kenneth Law, who admitted to selling to hundreds of people worldwide. But authorities wanted to know whether Law was just providing a lethal product — or whether he was actively pushing people in crisis to take it. The CBC podcast “Hunting the Suicide Salesman” recounts the effort to stop Law and shutdown the business of selling sodium nitrite. Host Daemon Fairless goes beyond the criminal investigation and takes an unusually frank and intimate examination of the issue of suicide — including causes, prevention efforts, and the hidden online world for those considering ending their lives.   OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "HUNTING THE SUICIDE SALESMAN" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 11 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.
