We’ve got a hit podcast from the makers of Serial, world news through the eyes of the people living it, a sci-fi pop-punk mystery, and more.

In 2014, a mysterious letter began circulating in Birmingham, England. The letter appeared to be written by an Islamic extremist, sending instructions to a co-conspirator on how to secretly infiltrate local schools. When it became public, it set off a moral panic across the U.K. People lost their jobs, and some were banned from ever working in education again. But no one ever answered one basic question: Who wrote the letter?

The creators of Serial are back with a new podcast that sets out to answer that very question. We’re kicking off this week’s show with a taste of The Trojan Horse Affair. (There’s a good chance you’ll get hooked and binge the whole thing.)

Then, what voices do we leave out when we tell world news stories? CBC’s Nothing Is Foreign wants us to hear the news from the locals who are living it. Host Tamara Khandaker joins Leah to tell us why she’s wanted to make this show for a long time, and what context we’re often missing when we only hear from foreign correspondents. And we’ll hear some of their coverage of Russia’s attacks on Ukraine.

All that and more on this week's show!

Featuring: The Trojan Horse Affair, Nothing Is Foreign, Who Killed Avril Lavigne, Rough Translation, Punch Up The Jam
