Midweek November 20, 2019
This week’s Midweek was all about answering burning questions — about murder mysteries, pot futures, cultural appropriation and Jane Austin’s link to…dinosaurs?
Midweek November 13, 2019
Midweek went off to the theatre this week — and the doula fair, and a repair café, and an art exhibit for the birds, and Comic-con, and…well, the list goes on and on, so better just listen to the show.
Midweek November 6, 2019: Remembrance Day Special
Midweek marks Remembrance Day with stories about conflict, cruelty, loss, recovery, resettlement and remembrance of what all that can teach us. We hear how painting masks can help heal unseen wounds, how music and poems keep memory alive, and how local children came out on a blustery day to make sure those below military gravestones were not left alone. All that and much more.
Midweek October 30, 2019
A mix of light and heavy hearts this week: Progress towards equality in the latest election, creative flashes at a film festival, the high of winter running, and some goofy Halloween celebrations — but also a special report on how addictions trap so many in the cycle of homelessness, a hard reality as winter sets in and being on the streets isn’t a choice or a high at all. This, and lots more.
Midweek October 16, 2019
This week’s Midweek looked beyond food security to “food sovereignty,” examined “inclusive identity” and ways to knock down stigma about mental struggles, discussed the pros and cons of free rides to the polls, and looked ahead to Halloween — among a sack-full of other stories!
Midweek October 9, 2019
Lots to be thinkful about on this Thanksgiving week edition: Youth with epilepsy using photos to capture how they experience the condition, noses out of joint over questionable architecture and snooping cameras, other noses to the ground foraging for food, and election talk about issues from food security to free entry to museums. All that and lots more!
