Hosts Marissa Kocent and Arvin Joaquin
Our second Midweek show of this season aired on CKCU-FM on Wednesday, Oct. 4, with Marissa Kocent and Arvin Joaquin hosting.
We covered how a new supervised injection trailer was designed with users in mind, why public toilet activists are doing guerrilla signage downtown, and why a volunteer at a recently-raided marijuana dispensary plans to bypass government dispensaries even after legalization.
Two stories grew out of environmental initiatives – an experimental tiny house initiative at Carleton University, and eco-friendly “PurPods” for single-shot coffee makers. (That’s one of the cute little homes being worked on in the picture up top.)
Two more stories centred on hockey – a plan to Uber more Sens fans into CT Centre seats, and a look at how record-breaking heat has affected ice-making at local arenas for the start of hockey season.
And another pair of stories each took us to Parliament Hill, letting us hear voices from an anti-fascist counter protest, and at a vigil for missing and murdered indigenous women.
All that and much more on the Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2017 edition of Midweek.
