Just in time for the holidays, we’re back for one last special episode of 26 for 25. Past audience favourites Stephanie Johns and Allison Saunders join Tara and Jacob for a boozy reflection on the year that was 2018 in Halifax. Breach teen! Smoking bans! Chelsea Peretti! Plus, a Christmas-rewrite of Lady Gaga’s “Shallow.”

The Coast presents: 25 for 25. A year-by-year audio archive. Through the lens of the city’s alt-weekly, editors Jacob Boon and Tara Thorne bring you the stories that shaped Halifax over the past quarter-century.
