ABOUT THIS EPISODE: This week we're returning to season two to celebrate Black futures and Black History Month. In this episode, host Megan Cole talks to Chantal Gibson about her poetry collection How She Read, the winner of the 2020 Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize. In this conversation they discuss the way the work in How She Read examines the portray of black women in culture and history and how erasure impacts how we read and learn. ABOUT CHANTAL GIBSON Chantal Gibson is an artist-educator living in Vancouver with ancestral roots in Nova Scotia. Her visual art collection Historical In(ter)ventions, a series of altered history book sculptures, dismantles text to highlight language as a colonial mechanism of oppression. How She Read is another altered book, a genre-blurring extension of her artistic practice. Sculpting black text against a white page, her poems forge new spaces that challenge historic representations of Black womanhood and Otherness in the Canadian cultural imagination. How She Read is Gibson's debut book of poetry. Her work has been published in Room magazine and Making Room: 40 years of Room Magazine (Caitlin Press, 2017), and she was shortlisted for PRISM magazine's 2017 Poetry Prize. An award-winning teacher, she teaches writing and visual communication in the School of Interactive Arts & Technology at Simon Fraser University.

On this Make A Difference Minute, I'm talking about Intent, Portrayal, and Perception. What you intend isn't always what people see, how something is portrayed isn't always the whole truth, & perception can take on a life of its own. I'm reminding listeners why clarity, humility, and grace matter, because how we communicate and how we're understood can shape relationships, trust, and outcomes. It's a timely reminder for all of us to slow down, listen closer, and make sure our intent lines up with how we show up. Sponsor: Hydration Lounge HydrationL.com
1. Portrayal of ICE Operations ICE arrests in Minnesota (Minneapolis/St. Paul) are presented as targeting violent criminal offenders, including: Registered sex offenders Individuals accused of rape Individuals with histories of domestic violence, DUI, and sexual assault These individuals were previously free due to local non‑cooperation with ICE. ICE is described as fulfilling its intended mission of removing dangerous criminals from communities. 2. Criticism of Democratic Leadership Minnesota Democratic officials (mayors, city council members, state leaders) National Democratic figures (Chuck Schumer, Chris Van Hollen, Tina Smith, Stacey Abrams, Jon Ossoff) Key accusations include: Shielding criminal undocumented immigrants Encouraging or excusing obstruction of ICE operations Falsely portraying ICE as abusive or authoritarian Refusing to condemn protests that allegedly crossed legal or ethical lines (e.g., disrupting church services) 3. Depiction of Internal Democratic Conflict There is a “civil war” within the Democratic Party: One faction allegedly wants to abolish ICE outright Another faction purportedly wants to soften rhetoric while effectively achieving the same outcome Democrats are accused of strategically “humanizing criminals” and “dehumanizing ICE agents” to influence public perception. 4. Framing of Protests and Activism Protesters opposing ICE are described as: “Far‑left,” “radical,” or “deranged” Protecting criminals rather than communities Protests at or inside churches are portrayed as violations of social and religious norms. Democratic officials are criticized for characterizing these protests as mostly peaceful and justified. 5. Media and Narrative Control Mainstream and local media underreport crimes committed by arrested undocumented immigrants Media figures fail to challenge false or extreme claims made about ICE ICE agents are framed as unfairly maligned while operating under hostile political conditions. 6. Broader Ideological Framing The Democratic Party is portrayed as influenced by: Marxism, socialism, and communism Anti‑police and anti‑law‑enforcement ideology References to Hitler, Hugo Chávez, and authoritarianism are used to argue that left‑wing populism is dangerous and historically problematic. 7. Pro‑Trump and Law‑and‑Order Message Donald Trump is: A defender of law enforcement A counterweight to radical left activism Voter support for Trump is driven by a desire for public safety, border enforcement, and accountability.

When someone asks what I ‘do' for a living, there are times I want to respond with, “I tell stories.” After all, most attorneys spend their time trying to get the “full picture” of what's happening in a given case, and the best narratives give us just that. Now, unfortunately, somewhere along the way the expression, “telling stories”, became short-hand for “making stuff up”, and since there's already plenty of jokes about lawyers' relationship with the truth, my answer is typically a much-less mysterious, “defense attorney”. But as someone who consumes a fair amount of legal media - be it in books or on screen - I can tell you that truth is almost always stranger than fiction. But as my guest this week is quick to point out, just because a story is ‘strange' doesn't mean it has to be ‘complicated'. Joining me this week is Brent Turman, a trial attorney whose commercial litigation practice covers a variety of matters including business disputes, intellectual property, real estate, arbitration, and civil RICO actions. But before his legal career, Brent was an Associate Operations Producer for ESPN & ABC College Football, also producing commercials, industrial videos, in-arena entertainment, and music videos for clients throughout North America. Now he pulls from these experiences, frequently giving trial skills presentations across the country, teaching other attorneys about the strategies and tools he has used in the courtroom.We discuss how Brent found his way into the legal profession, the narrative tools from his early career have transferred into deliverable results for his clients, and so much more. Enjoy the show!

Katja Hoyer, German-British Historian, Author and Journalist joins Sean and Sarah to discuss the dilemma facing German actors since 1945: whether to take Nazi roles or not.They examine 'memory politics' of the Second World War, the stereotypical Nazi portrayal seen in Hollywood over the years such as Wolf Kahler, through to modern German actors like Sandra Hüller, Daniel Brühl, Franka Potente, among others.From Star Wars, Commando Comics to Coronation Street, this episode truly examines a rarely-discussed issue in films with the trademark humour that you've come to expect from Sean and Sarah, whilst maintaining a respectful tone given the historical context.Question Raised:-How quickly did this issue rear it's head in post-war Germany?-Could a German family join Coronation Street?-How many films/television series does Sean mention?-When did the stereotypical Nazi villain begin?-What was the reaction to The Untergang [Downfall] in Germany?-Do all film villains have to be either German or well-spoken English characters?-Will German topics other than the Nazis ever be of interest to the international film scene?Books:-Der Brand [The Fire] by Jörg Friedrich, published in 2002.

Convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh — the disgraced South Carolina lawyer serving life in prison for killing his wife Maggie and son Paul — has decided to issue a statement from behind bars attacking Hulu's new true-crime series about his case. In the letter, Murdaugh claims the show contains “numerous inaccuracies” and “misleading portrayals,” even going so far as to say it “totally mischaracterizes his relationships” with the very people he murdered. He accuses Hulu of failing to reach out to him, his attorneys, or his surviving son Buster before releasing the series — as if that somehow invalidates decades of documented lies, theft, and manipulation. In this episode, Tony Brueski rips apart Murdaugh's delusional statement line by line — exposing the narcissism, denial, and moral rot that have defined every chapter of this man's life. From stealing millions from clients, to staging his own suicide for an insurance scam, to the brutal murders at Moselle, Alex Murdaugh's downfall is a masterclass in arrogance. Now, from prison, he's worried about how Hulu portrayed him? The audacity is staggering — and we're breaking down every word of it.

3. LONDINIUM 91 CE. Hollywood and Rome. Gaius and Germanicus concluded their meeting by critiquing Hollywood's portrayal of Roman decline, focusing on Gladiator 2. Gaius admitted he could not finish the film due to its historically inaccurate conclusion. The film's ultimate payoff—the removal of bad emperors and the return to the Republic—is viewed as fundamentally wrong. Gaius argued that empires do not revert to republics, as the republic was "aged out" and the empire was necessary, suggesting that Hollywood confuses the word "republic" with "democracy." Germanicus elaborated on this distortion, noting that societies frequently look back and shape the past into a "golden age" from which they have fallen. The founders of the American republic were informed by Rome and Greece, viewing Rome as a morality play detailing triumph, tragedy, and the ultimate loss of virtue. This tradition of distortion was reinforced by Gibbon's Decline and Fall, which packaged the later empire as corrupted by "barbarism and religion" to suit the ideals of the Enlightenment. This historical lens persists, leading to a simplistic modern conventional wisdom, especially prevalent in Hollywood media, that "republic is good, empire is bad." Hollywood fails to recognize that the imperial institution maintained many of the Republic's institutions and sensibilities. Furthermore, the media elite confuses the Roman imperial office with a "mafia don" or "banana republic dictatorship." The speakers concluded that while they see the world "as it is," American aspirations (like those reflected in Hollywood) see the world "as they want it to be." AGRIPPINA MINOR Retry
Why are nurses a favorite target for horror movie villains? Why are nurses seen in movies as either sexy, satanic or dieties?

We cover everything from the psychological weight of nurse stereotypes and the real-world terror of nurse killers, to the unsettling history of asylums and our ingrained fears of medical procedures. Get ready for a thought-provoking analysis of horror film tropes and cultural perceptions of mental health. Tune in for expert commentary and find out which horror movies you must watch next. Ideal for fans of psychological thrillers and medical horror. Takeaways Horror films often reflect societal fears about vulnerability in healthcare. Nurses are frequently depicted as villainous in horror, which can perpetuate harmful stereotypes. Real-life cases of nurse killers highlight the darker side of the profession. The portrayal of asylums in horror films often exaggerates historical realities. Fear of medical procedures is a common theme in horror, tapping into real anxieties.

In this week's film show, Manon Kerjean and Dheepthika Laurent look at Nadia Melliti's performance as an Arab woman struggling with her sexual identity in "La Petite Dernière", a film for which she won best actress at the Cannes Film Festival. We also look at François Ozon's daring, bold adaptation of Albert Camus' masterpiece "L'Étranger" and discuss the technical prowess of "L'Homme qui rétrécit", a film starring Oscar-winning actor Jean Dujardin. Finally, we check out Isabelle Huppert's new film, "La femme la plus riche du monde", a biopic loosely inspired by L'Oréal heiress Liliane Bettencourt.
In this episode of the Arts Management and Technology Lab, Melida Hernandez and Christine Rivera dive into the intersections of technology, identity, and representation in digital spaces and media. Melida explores how AI-based recognition systems, often trained on biased datasets, misclassify transgender and non-binary individuals, which impacts their self-presentation, psychological well-being, and digital agency. Melida also discusses how these technologies replicate real-world prejudices, limiting the fluidity of gender expression online, and highlights the lack of diversity in AI research teams, where women make up only 10–15% of staff. Christine's research, on the other hand, focuses on how scripted and streaming television depicts motherhood and women's reproductive choices, connecting these portrayals to broader issues such as policy, workplace inequality, and the “motherhood penalty.” Together, they unpack how media archetypes, algorithmic bias, and social platforms shape public perception and reinforce gender roles, calling for more inclusive storytelling, equitable AI design, and better systemic support for women and marginalized communities.

Frank and Squeaks dive headfirst into James Gunn's Superman, the movie that's recharging DC with new energy and old-school heart. They break down everything—from the pacing that mimics a stack of comics, to character performances, visual highs and lows, and why this might be one of the most human versions of Superman we've ever seen. They also debate Guy Gardner's scene-stealing turn, Lex Luthor's layered villainy, the potential setup for Bizarro, and what it all means for the future of the DC Universe. This one's packed, passionate, and full of geeky joy.

Our Theatrical Recommendation 51:00 Closing Remarks Key Takeaways: James Gunn's Superman blends nostalgic charm with a modern, fast-paced narrative. David Corenswet's Superman is emotionally grounded and feels deeply human. Lex Luthor, played by Nicholas Hoult, delivers a fresh take that balances public genius with private obsession. Guy Gardner and Mr. Terrific both exceed expectations, with standout scenes that highlight their personalities. The film's pacing mirrors a comic book run—nonstop but rewarding. The twist about Superman's Kryptonian parents adds emotional weight without breaking canon. Visual storytelling uses lighting—especially sunlight—as a powerful symbolic tool. Bizarro may be hinted at for future films, adding another exciting layer. While some characters like Hawkgirl were underwhelming, others like Krypto left a lasting impact. Quotes: “This is the Superman I pretended to be when I was running around the house as a kid.” – Frank “Lex Luthor isn't trying to rule the world—he's just obsessed with stopping Superman.” – Squeaks “It feels like you picked up a stack of DC comics and read them in one sitting.” – Squeaks “David Corenswet might be the most human Superman we've seen on screen.” – Frank Call to Action: Love what you heard?

Segment 3 • Paula White's influence on the President raises important questions. • Biden's Easter Proclamation is rich but lacks biblical focus. • A Missouri Senator's push to make Easter a federal holiday misses the mark, focusing on economics rather than faith.

The tape has surfaced of Phil's full performance as John the Baptist during an Easter drama nearly thirty years ago, and the guys are thrilled. A weather anomaly at Al's house leads Jase down memory lane and how he used fish heads to capture Missy's heart on their second date. The guys make connections between the lives of Moses, Elijah, John the Baptist, Jesus, and even Phil, and how God's power is demonstrated repeatedly in similar ways throughout history.
