In the series finale of “Unpacking the News,” join host Andre Goulet and a cross-country conclave of comrades for the first day back to school at Podcast High.
Hear conversations with Chris (“Left Behind”), Gabrielle (“les Ficelles”), Tyler + Roberta (“Alberta Advantage”), Evan (“Kino Lefter”), Paris (“Tech Won’t Save Us”), Eric (“Big Shiny Takes”), Umair (“Oats for Breakfast”) and Rob Rousseau (“49th Parahell”) as they navigate the hallways and classrooms of a new school year. They explain why a universal basic income, a green transition for Alberta’s energy sector, a federal jobs guarantee program and more should all be on the federal agenda for a people’s recovery in Canada’s speech from the throne on September 23.
Plus, friend-of-the-show Savanna Craig returns to expose Podcast High’s bureaucratic negligence and inadequate pandemic ventilation system, and Andre looks back on 135 episodes of “Unpacking the News” and imagines an exciting future for Canada’s left podcast community.
“Unpacking the News” 2017-2020 RIP!
