Yes, you read that right. It's the last episode of 49th Parahell.

98: Dark Chapter (with Kolin Sutherland-Wilson and Kai Nagata)
The uncovering of a mass grave outside a former "residential school" in Kamloops has made international headlines and once again forced people in what we know as Canada to talk about the brutal violence, cruelty and genocide that this nation is founded on and continues to engage in. Harbinger Media board member Kai Nagata and Kolin Sutherland-Wilson of the Gitxsan Nation join the show to talk about the old-growth logging blockades in BC and how the supposed Dark Chapter in Canadian History never actually ended. https://www.patreon.com/colonialismincanada https://www.instagram.com/kolinsutherlandwilson/ Git'luuhl'um'hetxwit Media: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9Am0RWoa-wZUs1EGeOF66A/ https://www.instagram.com/git_luuhl_um_hetxwit/
73 minutes | May 14, 2021
97: Radio Free Palestine (with Amy Kishek and Omar Burgan)
Forced expulsions in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah have led to another cycle of Palestinian opposition and brutal repression by the Israeli government. Why does only one side of this "conflict" have the right to defend itself? How has Canada contributed to this situation? Is there a positive shift happening in the way that people in media and politics discuss this issue? Amy Kishek and Omar Burgan join the show this week to answer some of these questions. http://www.patreon.com/robrousseau

We regret to inform you that Doug Ford is, in fact, "at it again." I've got writer/researcher John Semley and Junk Filter Pod host Jesse Hawken joining me here in riff city to talk about Doug's very bad week and whether or not we're on board with the redemption arc. http://www.patreon.com/robrousseau

95: National Mythbusters (with Tyler Shipley)
One thing we've tried to do throughout the run of this show is debunk the lies we like to tell ourselves about what Canada is all about. So this week it was a pleasure to talk to Tyler Shipley, author of Canada in the World: Settler Capitalism and Colonial Imagination about the genocidal foundation of the country, how our modern foreign policy is not as benign as we've been led to believe, and how learning about all this can keep us informed about the real priorities of our current ruling class. http://www.patreon.com/robrousseau https://fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/canada-in-the-world  
50 minutes | Mar 12, 2021
94: Ides of March (with Naomi Klein)
It's the one-year anniversary of the pandemic, and there's a whole lot to feel disillusioned by. Fortunately, none other than renowned author & activist Naomi Klein is joining the show to express maybe the most radical idea of all: that, maybe, just maybe, things might be starting to get a bit better. www.patreon.com/robrousseau
68 minutes | Feb 5, 2021
93: Amazon Planet (with Paris Marx)
Jeff Bezos is stepping down as head of Amazon, so obviously that means we won't have to hear from him ever again, right? Unfortunately not. Paris Marx, host of Harbinger podcast Tech Won't Save Us, joins me to talk about Bezos's career, the rotten economic system that allows people like him, Bill Gates, Elon Musk and others to build unfathomable fortunes and essentially write their own hagiographies, and the exploitative Independent Contractor business model that Amazon popularized going international in the 2020's. http://www.patreon.com/robrousseau https://www.patreon.com/techwontsaveus

The Trump era is over. It was simultaneously horrifying and very, very stupid.

It's the final 49th Parahell of the year and what a hellish nightmare it has been, huh?
