The Gravy Train is a special, eight-part narrative podcast from The Big Story and Frequency Podcast Team that explores the tragic life and enduring legacy of Toronto's notorious mayor Rob Ford.

Hosted by Jordan Heath-Rawlings, and featuring dozens of interviews from key players, the series tells the inside story of Ford's rise and fall, and lays out the populist blueprint that politicians around the world are following today. Rob Ford's rise was a sign the world was changing, but we were too busy laughing at him to notice.
