At ten years old, the Canadaland network has had its share of successes: investigative journalism, powerful accountability interviews, thoughtful analysis, critique of the media when it’s at its worst, and telling the weird, often untold stories about Canada. 

It has also had a few misses, like hiring the voice actor for Lisa Simpson to advertise for the company.

Today’s episode features a few segments from the recent live show at the Hot Docs Podcast Festival, with hosts Mattea Roach, Jonathan Goldsbie, Allison Smith, Karyn Pugliese, Arshy Mann, and popular Short Cuts co-host Jan Wong interviews Jesse Brown.

Host: Jesse Brown 

Credits: Tristan Capacchione (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Annette Ejiofor (Managing Editor), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)

Special Thanks: Crystal MacDonell, Michael Robinson, Patrick McKenna and the rest of the Hot Docs team who helped coordinate the event.
