The past year has been a time of adjustments, strains, stresses, discoveries and lessons learned, and this week’s Midweek podcasts share lots of stories about folks doing their best to cope — from front-line paramedics to choir groups trying to harmonize in high-tech ways — and much more!
Say it as a ZEEE, not a ZED — now you get it! The AZN podcast was launched in November 2020 by three fresh graduates from Carleton University’s bachelor of journalism program as a way to explore what “being Asian” means in the modern world — and two of those founders are Midweek alums!
The Midweek team came back from a week off with an array of new stories — enough for three more great podcasts! We hear about saving greenspace in Kanata, experiencing public school as an Indigenous person, and how the pandemic intersects with teaching, sculpting, reptiles and … donuts. All this and much more!
The latest three podcasts take us to an Ottawa restaurant working hard to survive in the pandemic, and to a new Indigenous business that’s finding opportunity amid the same crisis. We hear from others just struggling to make it through these times — and we’ll explore matters of the heart…the beating kind and the kind that yearns. All that and more!
A new year and a new Midweek season with a new team of reporters! Our first three podcasts range from the frozen surfaces of the Rideau Canal and the Ottawa Sens home ice, to the cool music scenes of Ottawa and Toronto as they struggle with the pandemic, to…surfing the breaking waves of the Great Lakes! Much more, too!
Here we are at the end of the Fall season of Midweek…and thank goodness, the end of 2020! The departing Midweek crew goes out in style with three podcasts full of great stories!
