Midweek’s back for a new season in a new way: podcasts!
A whole new Midweek team is now finding a whole new way to bring you our usual mix of great audio journalism — even though they’re strung out in homes from Timmins, Ont., to Dubai, U.A.E! Each reporter produces their own story wherever they are, and each week’s producers work as a team online to piece their podcasts together into a finished mini-show. Here are our first of the new season!
A Midweek winner! No, not won…earned!
We at Midweek are delighted and proud to announce that Meaghan Brackenbury, a member of our team for the Fall 2019 season, has just been awarded two — count ’em: TWO — prestigious scholarships by the Radio Television Digital News Foundation, an arm of the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) of Canada.
Midweek March 11, 2020
Despite the sense of a gathering storm as Ottawa reported its first case of COVID-19, Midweek made a point of also reporting on women and the things they make, creative young people, those fighting to protect the vulnerable, and those working to ensure more diverse faces have the right to be heckled doing standup comedy in local clubs. Yes: COVID-19, too…but it’s just one part of life. Midweek understands that.
