And we’re back…just in time to say good-bye! Midweek came to you live one last time for the season on April 4, and the Midweek crew filled the grand season finale with…oatmeal — but also women classical composers, little pets on buses, wild turkeys about town, democracy in the balance, kambucha and…well…just listen in!
Our fourth week of podcasts as we continue to sit out the support workers’ strike at Carleton University…but we’re still telling stories, including stories about telling stories. We’ll join students showing solidarity with those in the U.S. marching against guns, find out about de-colonializing the kitchen and de-stressing the student, and go retro on gaming. All that and much more!
Another round of podcasting for the Midweek crew! From the picket lines at Carleton University to the ovens of a top pizzeria in Windsor with a national following — plus Uber qualms, a flea market and a bikers’ church. And coffee: the sweet smell of making life…possible.
Still not back on the airwaves, but still doing great Midweek stories! Our team has two more podcasts for you with stories ranging from political manoeuvring for advantage to the long, hard slogs facing poor women around the world just to reach necessities like water and food. Midweek: putting it all in perspective once again!
Time for Plan B here at Midweek: a strike by Carleton U’s support workers meant we couldn’t broadcast on CKCU-FM this week, so instead we used the radio equivalent of Lego and clicked together two (rather terrific) podcasts, made up of the usual Midweek mix of stories. Enjoy!
Ten women who came the Canada as refugees one or two years ago have launched a catering project. Baraka Syrian Home Cooking started in December and has since catered two sold-out events for about 60 people. Midweek’s Salma Mahgoub has the story.
