  • Life changing

    Rogers books changed my life. Arguably as a young man I was headed in the wrong direction, and reading Go Boy and Bingo made me realize that I needed a change. This podcast is amazing and I hope it can help even one other person also change their ways it will be worth it.

    Great job brining this Canadian back to the front pages.

Bonus episode: Murder on the Inside: An interview with author Catherine Fogarty on the 1971 KP Riot

Q: What is your connection to the KP riot and how did you come to write the definitive book about it?
