Open Line on VOCM-AM in Newfoundland has been called an institution. A religion. A must-listen show. 
And we at Canadaland had never heard of it - until recently. But it attracts an audience bigger than any show in its time slot, and has consistently for years. 
So in the age of podcasts and social media, in a time of layoffs and media cuts, how has this AM radio talk show managed to thrive?

Voice Of The Common Man

Campus protests have migrated to Canada and McGill is asking the cops for help. Why calling in the cops is the wrong approach, despite what’s being said (and chanted) at these protests.
Justin Trudeau seems to be popping up on podcasts everywhere these days. What to make of Trudeau’s podcast populism (and why it won’t work in 2024.)

(Short Cuts) No Cop Crackdowns on Campus

Canadian media coverage of the war in the Middle East has, unsurprisingly, focused on the impact on diaspora communities here in Canada. We have heard about Jewish Canadians, Palestinian Canadians, and we have heard in general terms about the many Muslim communities across Canada and how this is affecting them. But there's one diaspora community that is increasingly at the center of this conflict, who we have heard very little about. And that is the Iranian community.
Today on the show, three members of the Iranian-Canadian community, Amir Attaran, Samira Mohyeddin, and Kahve Shahrooz, join Jesse to talk about their own thoughts, feelings, and experiences about what is going on in their community.
Editor’s note: In the introduction to this episode, Jesse says, “Canada is home to the second largest Iranian diaspora community in the world. There are 400,000.” 
According to Tehran, Canada is home to 400,000 Iranian-Canadians but Statistics Canada puts the number at closer to 200,000. In either case, Canada is still home to one of the largest Iranian diaspora communities in the world.

In the Shadow of the Shadow War

Alors que l’année 2024 sera la plus chaude jamais enregistrée, on voit le public, épuisé par l'éco anxiété et une certaine fatigue informationnelle, se détourner des médias. Emilie Nicolas reçoit Étienne Leblanc, journaliste environnement et climat à Radio-Canada, pour échanger sur l’évolution de la couverture médiatique des changements climatiques depuis une vingtaine d’années et sur les solutions possibles afin de mieux communiquer sur le sujet. 
Even if 2024 is projected to be the warmest year ever recorded, audiences are tuning out the news, exhausted by eco-anxiety and media fatigue. Emilie Nicolas talks with Étienne Leblanc, environment and climate reporter at the CBC, about the past twenty years of climate change coverage and how to find solutions to better communicate on the topic.

Umar Zameer is acquitted of murdering a Toronto police officer, but the way his case was handled by the media and politicians raises questions about the impact of public narratives in high-profile legal cases.
Plus, Goldsbie sits court-side, and why Connie Walker deserves an apology.
