She has a few things to say about the statues coming down. Plus, Tim and Terra discuss the latest rally at the Cornwallis statue, the Bloomfield property and the Chronicle Herald.

    I always look forward to the podcast, particularly enjoy The Week in Review segment. But lately feel that something is wrong. Hard to put my finger on it, but think it is that Tim and Terra do not sound comfortable talking to each other. I recognize that this is not like a daily radio show where the hosts have worked together for a long time. But there is a sort of jarring effect to this portion. The interviews as always are interesting.

      Hi Linda. I guess you can tell we don’t know each other well! Maybe Tim and I need to do some of those trust exercises — or go out for beer. I’m glad you like the interviews. If you have any suggestions for guests, please send them along!

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.
