A hole in the wall just waiting for a tunnel to show up: Examineradio, episode #105

April 2, 2017 By Russell Gragg 1 Comment

Three geniuses and their friend Matt.

 

Former Halifax journalist Hilary Beaumont has grown into one of the few dedicated environmental reporters in Canada.
Now based in Toronto and writing for Vice News, Beaumont has recently covered stories such as the Standing Rock protests in South Dakota, the Arctic’s rapidly-melting permafrost, and the ridiculous number of permanent boil-water advisories across the country.

Also, the Centre Plan and its many exemptions limps toward a final approval in 2018, how will it look for Haligonians to get high, and Matt Whitman’s weekly dose of dumb, dumb shit.

    Terra Tailleur, I really like the idea of being mindful of when adjectives are used, as they can or should be “red flags”. I’ll note that “rule of thumb” has its own baggage, whether more political than accurate from a historical perspective. How metaphors infuse our everyday language is quite fascinating. I enjoy hearing your voice.

They stop by to talk with Tara about its development, their shared love of classic SNL and 90s sitcoms, and the power of close friendship. Plus: A new song from a new band.

Uncover: Dead Wrong

In 1995, Brenda Way was brutally murdered behind a Dartmouth apartment building. In 1999, Glen Assoun was found guilty of the murder. He served 17 years in prison, but steadfastly maintained his innocence. In 2019, Glen Assoun was fully exonerated.

Halifax Examiner founder and investigative journalist Tim Bousquet has followed the story of Glen Assoun's wrongful conviction for over five years. Now, Bousquet tells that story as host of Season 7 of the CBC podcast series Uncover: Dead Wrong.
