  • Residential Schools
    This past May, the remains of 215 indigenous children were found on the site of the Kamloops Indian Residential school. Before this discovery, The National Truth and Reconciliation commission was informed by the catholic church that the death rate at this particular school was near 50.
    In todays episode of the z files I cover the reality of residential schools.

  • IMPEACHED: Nixon
    Sorry for the questionable audio quality! It will be better next week.
    In june of 1972, five burglars were caught red-handed in the DNC’s head headquarters in washington DC. In the eyes of the public, what started as no more than burglary quickly took on a life of its own, barreling through the nation, the white house and straight in to the oval office.
    In today's episode (and also the first ever!!) of The Z Files I cover the watergate scandal, and how it led to the first ever resignation of an American President, Richard Nixon.
