Spring is in the air (as are other aromas), so we probed how climate change causes headaches for cities, how attempts to counter it cause headaches for truckers, how pot shops may alter neighbourhoods, why pot gives the munchies, why geeks love old-school delights, and why arm wrestling is not for the faint of heart. All that and more!
A producer’s main job is worrying, but once again Midweek worked out: budget insights, student protests, struggles to live in Venezuela, hopes for peace in Eritrea, a misfit who found his place in life, a stray who found a home, and — of course — a celebration of what it means to be Irish. All that and more on this Midweek!
This Midweek opened with a heavy heart as we heard tributes to Prof. Pius Adesanmi of Carleton University, killed in a plane crash in Ethiopia. But grief is but one part of life, and before this show ended, we’d also learned lots, gained helpful tips, and shared perhaps the most healing act there is: being taken for a walk by a dog.
