    The Toronto Star’s Daniel Dale has become one of the most-watched journalists in Washington in part by simply enumerating Donald Trump’s lies (Dale counted 720 as of last week). He got his start covering pomp and fatuousness by being the Star’s reporter in charge of following the Rob Ford administration.

    This episode was recorded live at the Hot Docs Podcast Festival in Toronto on October 15, 2017.
