Episode 39 of The Tideline, with Tara Thorne, is published.

The actor and playwright Jacob Sampson drops by the studio this week ahead of opening night for Shakespeare By The Sea’s mainstage show of the season, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It’s his first time on stage—in this case the grounds of Point Pleasant Park—in over two years! He chats about easing back into the rehearsal hall, this season’s motto—choose kindness—and the journey of the award-winning play he wrote for himself, Chasing Champions, a little-known story about the Nova Scotian boxer Sam Langford.

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.
