  • Fabulous all around

    I just adore this podcast. Somehow they keep all the topics light yet respectful, from Keep Canada Weird to true crime and even the global animal uprising! Canadian Gothic has also presented the single best coverage of the case of the missing children Jack and Lily Sullivan to date. I’m addicted to Cove soda thanks to this podcast. Keep it up! Can’t wait till episode 307, the area code for the entire state of Wyoming.

    Jordan, you & Aaron are ☠️ing me with Keep Canada Weird!!! I’ve listened to your crime episodes since I found you through Dark Poutine. The first episode I listened to was the Nova Scotia shooting massacre. I’ve listened to all the crime & interview episodes since then, but didn’t partake of the Weird ones until a couple years ago. Oh my, it’s like finding a chest of gold at the end of a rainbow. I wish I could get out of the house more so I could be a foreign correspondent. I also really need... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Where is Emily Bailey - Part 4 - Brandon Hunter
Q: What happened when you confronted Jeff Johnson about Emily's disappearance?
I went to Jeff's house, confronted him, and was met with a tense, uneasy exchange; he was high and evasive, which reinforced my concerns and the sense that something was being hidden.
Where is Emily Bailey - Part 4 - Brandon Hunter
Q: Tell me how you first met Emily and what drew you to her.
We met at a bar during karaoke night, and a spilled drink turned into a moment that led to us spending more time together; from there, a strong bond developed as we shared care for each other and for our later family.
Where is Emily Bailey - Part 5 - Recent Developments with Ben
Q: Given the new evidence and the recent search, what are the next steps you're hoping for from investigators?
We hope for transparency about what was found or not found, any new lines of inquiry, and updates on whether the evidence points to anyone in particular, while recognizing the family's right to know the specifics.
Where is Emily Bailey - Part 2 - Emily's Brother Ben
Q: How would you describe your relationship with Emily and how you spent time together growing up?
We were very close, despite living in separate households at times. We did hang out at the mall, cooked together, watched TV, and stayed in touch by calling or video chatting; our bond felt like we were the closest siblings to each other.
Where is Emily Bailey - Part 2 - Emily's Brother Ben
Q: Just to start Ben, tell me a bit about you. Who are you? What's your life like?
I'm 27, I live in Hamilton and work in mental health for youth; I'm close with Emily and try to be supportive, protective, and present for her, especially given the struggles she faced.
