Not every Real Talk guest can segue effortlessly between Ramona Quimby, QAnon, and history's greatest TV shows...but Scaachi Koul can. The senior culture writer for Buzzfeed News joins from NYC, kicking off Friday's show. Research and innovation at the University of Alberta is on display, as we feature the winners from the annual "Three Minute Thesis (3MT)" competition. Real Talk about affordable child care continues with MLA Rakhi Pancholi, who lays out what an NDP government would do on the file. Plus, it's Friday, so buckle up for an especially-rowdy edition of Trash Talk presented by Local Waste!
