At the dawn of the social media era, Belle Gibson became a pioneering wellness influencer - telling the world how she beat cancer with an alternative diet. Her bestselling cookbook and online app provided her success, respect, and a connection to the cancer-battling influencer she admired the most. But a curious journalist with a sick wife began asking questions that even those closest to Belle began to wonder. Was the online star faking her cancer and fooling the world? Kaitlyn Dever stars in the Netflix hit series Apple Cider Vinegar . Inspired by true events, the dramatized story follows Belle’s journey from self-styled wellness thought leader to disgraced con artist. It also explores themes of hope and acceptance - and how far we’ll go to maintain it. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews executive producer Samantha Strauss. SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched Apple Cider Vinegar yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts .…
First off, It’s been a while since we released a new episode of Trans Canada - and that’s on me. Things happen and, you know.. life, uh, finds a way. And if you’re asking yourself "is he talking about his own life, or just looking for an excuse to quote Jeff Goldbloom in Jurassic Park?" - the answer is, both. But we’re back. This episode I caught up with a gem of a human - Chris Cresswell, of the Flatliners. Songs used: Unconditional Love - by the Flatliners Indoors - by the Flatliners For everything Flatliners, check out theflatliners.com Check out Chris’ podcast, Carry the Banner - wherever you get your podcasts…
Ty is my pal who helps me edit these podcasts. We’ve been in a few bands together, have toured eastern Canada and have been at each others throats more than once. Our history is, well, tumultuous, to say the least. Perhaps thats a sign of good friends? who knows! I met him in 2005 in a film history class while attending college in Oakville. - he was the scraggly kid who was clearly from the country, which I identified with. Later, on the train back to Toronto, I would play the entirety of NOFXs the Decline on my acoustic guitar and he sang every word. We then entered some sort of non-verbal agreement to write and drink tons of music over the next 7 or 8 years. I initially met up with him half a year ago in Mexico City - where he’s lived for the past few years. This is actually the first thing we recorded for the podcast so I apologize for the not great sound quality. Music in this episode: MFR The Burnitdowns Worst Case, Ontario This is a Parade...

My old pal - Brad Manners, from School Damage. We actually made a music video for his band. 4 years ago?... Brad and I were actually room mates for years and lived in the worst apartment you could imagine. Holes in the wall, a hole in the front glass door, bed bugs, weird, sketchy room mates, the works. He once said, "as long as we're living in a place better than this some day, we'll be doing good at life". https://schooldamage.bandcamp.com/…
Formed in 2015, Toronto's Lilim are a nasty ass, sludgy dose of feminist metal. Equal parts ripping punk, equal parts swamp water doom. Kirsten White, holy shit. Where to even begin. What a force. Toronto artist / freelance producer / bicycle gang enthusiast / feminism champion / no bull shit artist / sweetheart. Out of all her projects, this one is by far the loudest. https://lilimto.bandcamp.com/…
