We devoted our entire show this week to themes touching on war, loss, wounds, recovery and rebuilding — stories that reflect how people across our community mark Remembrance Day…and how many have been marked by what that day represents.
A show on the day after Halloween was a perfect time for stories on phone zombies, the Day of the Dead, a Pumpkinferno, Pokémon and other horrors — but much more, too: Nato, human rights, dogsledding in the Yukon and more!
This week, those touched by musician Gord Downie shared praise and sadness over all he gave us and all that’s now lost. We also heard voices raised against ongoing violence faced by women, and about students struggling to cope with stress. But we had life’s other side, too: magical Japanese papercutting called Kamikiri — and a canoe trip to the woods to cook a turkey and listen to loons.
