Podcast 1:\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/em>The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has forced the cancelling of many events this year — graduations, weddings, holidays, and sports events like the Grey Cup. Midweek host Warren Reid spoke to some CFL players about the cancellation of this year\u2019s big game and their memories of this longstanding Canadian tradition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, one university football player isn’t sitting idle: He’s started a new organization to give a voice to student athletes. Midweek\u2019s Ethan Diamandas spoke to a founding member of the Canadian Student-Athlete Association.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Also advocating for students is Mante Molepo from Parents for Diversity. Midweek\u2019s Kieran Heffernan spoke to Molepo about how the group is working to combat discrimination faced by children in schools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rachel Arnold and Josh Kilimnik are two theatre students at York University who are adamant the show must go on, even though their way back \u201con stage\u201d looked different this year due to the pandemic. Midweek\u2019s Kinda Squire spoke to the students about how theatre on Zoom has changed their learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This week\u2019s podcast was co-hosted by Natalie McGrath, and produced by McGrath and Matthew Newell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
