Tobin welcomes Canada Tonight host, Ginella Massa to the podcast. You would think the fact we both use TONIGHT in our title would be the only similarity Ginella and I would have, but throughout this conversation, I find out we have a lot more in common than just a communications degree. Ginella talks about getting her break with CANADA TONIGHT, how the show's name came to be, and she talks about being one of the first hosts in Canada to wear a hijab. Ginella also tells an interesting story about her time in university and how one teacher wanted her to lose the hijab. Trust Me You're Going to Want to Check This Interview Out.
