Situated on the Mediterranean, just a short distance from Spain and the rest of Europe, Morocco attracts tens of millions of tourists every year. They flock to see the iconic mosques and bazaars. But there's another, much larger structure that you won't find in any tourist guides and is seldom talked about. It's a 2700 kilometer long barrier wall constructed of dirt and brick that runs through the heart of the Sahara Desert. And for the people living in its shadow, it's a symbol of an ongoing occupation and decades long period of oppression. In this episode, I speak with Jacob Mundi, professor from Colgate University, an expert on the subject of Morocco's illegal decades long occupation of Western Sahara and the refugee crisis it created that now spans generations.

On this week's podcast, Canadian Musician Editor-in-Chief Mike Raine is joined by Kim Fry, one of the organizers behind Music Declares Emergency Canada (MDEC). It's the Canadian chapter of a global movement of people in the music industry working together “towards a carbon neutral future.” More than 200 artists have signed on in Canada, including Tegan & Sara, LAL, Sarah Harmer, Caribou, and members of Broken Social Scene and Tokyo Police Club. Kim, who has a background with Greenpeace and climate activism, is also the mother of Brighid Fry of the popular Canadian indie-folk group Housewife (formerly Moscow Apartment). Mike and Kim discuss MDE/MDEC's formation, it's approach to activism and making change, why and how artists should get involved with climate activism, even if they're not “perfect” environmentalists, and what specifically the music industry needs to change in order to be part of the solution of halting climate change.

On 13 September 1999 Gennadiy Seleznyov speaker of the Duma announced to the Russian parliament that a terrorist attack had hit the remote and hitherto unremarkable city of Volgodonsk. The bombing did occur but not until 3 days later. But it was this incident in conjunction with other bombings that set in motion a series of events that salvaged the reputation of President Boris Yeltsin and laid the stage for his protege Vladimir Putin to come to power. But Selezynyovs apparent clairvoyance wasn't the only indication that something more sinister was afoot. And many people believe the second Chechen war was launched on the basis of a false flag attack concocted by Vladimir Putin. In this episode, I talk to the acclaimed journalist David Satter – formerly the Moscow correspondent for The Financial Times, and special correspondent for The Wall Street Journal. He was the first investigative reporter to detail what he believes was a bloody conspiracy to bring Putin to power. Aside from his journalistic work, David Satter has written five books about Russia including Age of Delirium: The Decline and Fall of the Soviet Union which was adapted into a documentary film, and more recently he authored The Less You Know, The Better You Sleep: Russia's Road to Terror and Dictatorship under Yeltsin and Putin. In December 2013, he was expelled from Russia having been accused of violating migration laws. A claim that he denies and has been widely derided. Like many before and since his real crime appears to have been His actual offense appears to have been his efforts to expose the true nature of an opaque and sinister regime.

Natalia Poklonskaya is one of the few politicians in Russia with international recognition. She owes this reputation to her two years as Crimea's first post-annexation attorney general (inspiring several Internet memes based on her demure public presence). Afterward, she moved to Moscow and served one term as a federal lawmaker in Russia's State Duma, drawing the media's attention for her religious conservativism and opposition to raising the country's retirement ages (she was the only United Russia deputy to vote against the party's unpopular pension reforms).

I interview the Toronto folk-rock duo Moscow Apartment.
#48: This week on the pod I'm talking to one half of Toronto based duo, Moscow Apartment, the lovely Brighid Fry. Moscow Apartment hit the music scene with a bang and have just released their second EP, Better Daughter. I had a great time talking with Brighid about her partnership with Pascale, demanding a violin, and balancing her music with highschool. Great chat!Find Moscow Apartment online:https://www.moscowapartment.ca/https://open.spotify.com/artist/2IwSOO9bV4ZwvpnNk9f6lN https://www.instagram.com/moscowapt/Moscow Apartment bio: Moscow Apartment create lush, folk imbued indie rock that is interwoven with the timeless and perceptive writing of singer-songwriters Brighid Fry and Pascale Padilla. The harmonious teenage duo released their sophomore EP, Better Daughter (Hidden Pony Records) on July 10th, 2020. The EP presents an evolution of their sound from acoustic beginnings to the freedom they now enjoy playing live in a full band, which is translated in Better Daughter’s layered arrangements.2017 marked the release of Moscow Apartment’s acclaimed self-titled debut EP that turned industry heads and won them a Toronto Independent Music Award and a Canadian Folk Music Award. The following year they clinched a Canadian Songwriting Contest prize and won Slaight Music’s ‘It’s Your Shot’ songwriting contest and its $100,000 grand prize in artist development. Fry and Padilla have spent the intervening years touring and developing their skills as producers and writers, receiving guidance from the likes of Broken Social Scene’s Kevin Drew and Grammy-winner Chin Injeti.The duo produced Better Daughter in collaboration with Grammy winner Vance Powell (who produced Two Timer) and long time collaborator Guillermo Subauste, who assisted in bringing a poetic and multilayered collection of songs to life. Tackling subjects which range from internalized misogyny to the complicated nature of adolescence, the new E.P continues to bring electric crunch to indie folk.Music for the podcast today was created by Matt Large: https://open.spotify.com/artist/107WzwlsOTR6Nxnw2kPHd3

Welcome to this week's show where Richard brings us The Midnight Pine and their keys heavy intro masterpiece Enough. Tobin thinks he's heard this before, alas, only a dream. We uncover some unlikely connections with other San Diego favourites Creature and the Woods. We play and listen to the sonorous vocal delivery of Shelbi Bennett. However, Enough of The Midnight Pine! Richard has the bookend this week and brings us the sadly now disbanded Broken Dog. Playing to Tobin's naturally critical streak, Broken Dog's ethereal and slightly breathy vocals prompt him to take Richard to task. It's a brilliant two-song set from Martine Roberts and Clive Painter in their previous guise of Broken Dog. More sabre-rattling to come as Richard is perplexed by Moscow Apartment's outdated website gallery. No up to date photos? Only photos of the duet as teens? The clouds thereon parted and Richard's epiphany unfurled before his very eyes. Not one to steal Tobin's thunder he gallantly steps aside so that Tobin can reveal all. It's New Music and it's straight out of Canada this week. Unexpectedly popular Blithe Field also make a deep impression on Richard much to Tobin's surprise. He tries to score a hat-trick with Audiodope and Absence of Gravity - does he pull it off? As always, it's all about the music on From the Bottom of the Record Box. However, Tobin delivers some important news this week about the future of the show. And exciting news it is indeed. It seems that Tobin, Richard and Jamie are only just beginning the rise of FTBOTRB. There are bigger, better things coming signalling a very bright future ahead. And as we stated it's always about the music here, but perhaps the biggest news on today's show is that Harmony Byrne's debut LP has finally dropped. We spin yet another track from off of it. Destined to become a riotous success, we get to know Harmony before she is untouchable. So, that's it, listen on for the usual combative conversation and great music.

Stephen Hui,author of 105 Hikes around Southwestern BC, local actor/writer/producer Leanne Kuzminski, and Toronto folk duo Moscow Apartment.
Teenage indie folk duo Moscow Apartment may have only been around for a year, but they've already accomplished more than many of their older contemporaries have in a fraction of the time. The duo -- comprised of Brighid Fry and Pascale Padilla -- has won two notable music awards, recorded and released an EP, and played nearly 30 shows. We sat down with the girls to discuss how they balance the duality of rock stardom and being a regular teenager, why they idolize Joni Mitchell, and how their songs draw on themes of body image issues and female empowerment.
We're up in Owen Sound ON on Episode 340 of Folk Roots Radio as we check out the fabulous Youth Discoveries showcase at Summerfolk. We’re bringing you interviews with two young duos - Moscow Apartment and Bare Sierra alongside music from the other performers who made it through the audition process to perform on the big stage at the festival. And, as always, we take a look at more of the latest new releases. Photo: Paige Ballagh and Clarissa Fortin (Jan Hall). Check out the full playlist on our website at http://folkrootsradio.com.
