  • When The President Said Fuck

    United States President, Donald Trump, using the word “Fuck” when speaking to reporters wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card. I mean a lot of things that have happened in 2025 weren’t on my bingo card, but honestly, this one caught me off guard. Perhaps it was because maybe I thought… Listen ⇢

  • My News Ecosystem: What I’m Listening To, Reading, and Watching

    So, I know we’ve talked a little about this before, but I figured maybe it would make good sense to provide a more thorough list of where I get my daily/weekly news. Remembering as well that I am a Canadian, so most of my sources are Canadian news sources. The… Listen ⇢

  • Is Comedy News Good?

    Is comedy news good in the sense of providing information? Is it good for society? After watching comedy news fairly religiously over the last few months, I think I’ve come to the conclusion that comedy news can be both a good thing and a bad thing. I think there is… Listen ⇢

  • Plagiarism & Self-Plagiarism

    This week I wanted to explore the topic of plagiarism. Now I think we all know what plagiarism is, but the general gist is that you’re taking someone else’s work and passing it off as your own. This can be done both intentionally and unintentionally. Conveniently, this week CBC’s Front… Listen ⇢

  • Media as Forms of Protest – Minchin & Andor

  • A New Logo, Influencers in Elections, and French vs English Media Habits

    Where are my teeth? Wasn’t a question I was expecting to ask myself this week. But of course, what’s a week without some odd questions to oneself? I know I’ve needed a logo since I started this project, but now that I’ve turned it into a podcast, even more so.… Listen ⇢

  • Tying It All Together: On Press Freedom, Democracy, and Censorship

    A less funny post, with a slight reflection on what I’m looking at Where to begin this week? That was the question that’s faced me since last Sunday. After nine weeks, and nine posts, would I finally be stumped by the tenth? The answer? A resounding maybe! But like I’ve… Listen ⇢

  • Last Week’s News Comedically: The Canadian Election, Trust, and Truth

    News Covering: April 18, 2025 – April 24, 2025 It seems all the American late-night shows that I typically take a look at were off this week. For me, that’s alright, because instead I get to turn to Canadian politics, where our federal election is this upcoming Monday. This Hour… Listen ⇢
