  • Less banter please

    Good stories but I wish they would stop with the inane banter between hosts which just drags out the shows. Just tell the story.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Part 1 | The daughter who secretly helped her mom die—then spoke out
Q: So Clare, what happens when that article comes out?
The story is picked up by newspapers across North America and prompts mixed reactions. The British Columbia Civil Liberties Association approaches Lee to be the lead plaintiff in its legal challenge, and she agrees.
Part 1 | The daughter who secretly helped her mom die—then spoke out
Q: So why did Kay Carter ask her daughter to help her to die?
Kay had spinal stenosis, which left her increasingly unable to move, and feared a future of being confined to bed. She wanted to die with dignity and asked Lee to find out where assisted death was available.
Part 2 | The Holocaust survivor who put a neo-Nazi on trial
Q: So if Zundel's lawyer's whole strategy is to delegitimize Holocaust experts, who do they call to the stand to help make their case?
Zundel's defense called Fred Leuchter, who claimed to investigate the gas chambers at Auschwitz, along with other witnesses. Leuchter's claimed expertise and research were challenged as unscientific.
Part 2 | The Holocaust survivor who put a neo-Nazi on trial
Q: So, this macabre scene in the gas chamber we just heard is related to the ongoing legal battles involving Ernst Zundel. And Howard, remind us again who he is.
Goldenthal explains that Zundel moved to Canada from Germany and became a major distributor of Holocaust denial material. After his first conviction for spreading false news, he appealed and obtained a new trial.
Part 3 | The girl whose life became a battleground for Indigenous child welfare
Q: How does Leticia feel about the case and ruling now?
Her feelings are complicated; initially she felt the court got it right but, over time, she believes culture and identity are ultimately more important than the adoption bond.
