In November 2019, Winnipeg cartoonist Kaj Hasselriis joined Justin and Jacob to discuss "Politikids," his kid-friendly comic about four of Canada's then-federal-party leaders. While two of those leaders have changed, Canadians are headed to the polls Sept. 20 meaning it's once again time to think about politics and make it accessible and interesting to people of all ages. In this re-broadcast of our 2019 intereview with Kaj, we ask: How should one talk to children about politics and do they even care?RFK airs first on CJRU 1280 AM in Toronto. This episode was originally produced by Mitchell Thompson with updates from Justin Chandler.
Derek Jessome and Jeff Knott, two animators turned comic creators from Dartmouth, N.S., tell Justin about Grandway Comics, their line of Silver Age inspired titles. With the second issue of "Space Cowboy and the Triumphanteers" out now, Derek and Jeff share why they loved the era of comics when heroes were good, bad guys were bad and books were more geared toward children. They talk about why they've clear of camp and about their efforts to tell detailed, complex stories to readers of all ages. RFK airs first on CJRU 1280 AM in Toronto. This episode was produced by Justin Chandler.
