Host Am Johal catches up with author, activist, voice actor and Juno-nominated comedian Charlie Demers about his pandemic year, and how he reads this turbulent moment in politics. They talk about everything from the life of civil rights figure Jack O’Dell, to a strange year for stand-up comedy, to Charlie’s studies in theology. In the episode, Charlie and Am think through some of the mechanisms of Trumpism — looking to Rob Ford as a prefiguration to Trump, and unpacking the political stratagems populist leaders use to stoke anger and division. Charlie is also the author of a recently published novel, Primary Obsessions, an amateur sleuth story which takes up mental health themes. He speaks to Am about how his lived experience inspired and informed the book, as well as what led him to pursue studies at the Vancouver School of Theology.
