  • Assistant to the Durham Regional Manager

    We’re delayed this week due to technical difficulties. The planned episode won’t be out until Monday. In the meantime, Evelyn Irish and Travis Laver went off the damn rails. We celebrated the death of Rush Limbaugh, discussed r/Neoliberal, talked about the Green Party’s insane Olympic plan, and then the centerpiece: Durham Region’s Black History Month Scavenger Hunt.

  • The Casket is Cheaper w/ Pindzer B (She/Her)

    This week on the program, we welcome in Pindzer B, dear friend of the show and recipient of ODSP benefits. We talked to her about her life on ODSP and the barriers she faces trying to survive on the woefully inadequate service. That happens around the 33-minute mark and BIG content warning—discussions of suicide, drug use, drug overdoses, and living in poverty.

    Before that, we talked about some lighter stuff. Well, Ev and I did anyway. We chatted about the Windsor Police Services proposed budget increase, hamburger parties (with strippers), the ineffectual NDP, and baby shower cannons.

    If you’re struggling with thoughts of suicide, please call the Canadian Suicide Prevention Service at 833-456-4566.

From the publisher's feed

We used to talk about politics in Windsor, ON. Then we moved to Halifax, NS. So now we talk about sex and relationships and how they relate to capitalism.
