Tackling Hollywood Westerns, splitting Indigenous Affairs and Tara Williamson
Listen now
Description
Host Tim Fontaine turns his eye to the modern Hollywood Western — which is eerily like the old Hollywood Western. He examines the long slow car crash that is Senator Lynn Beyak, and joins Elissa Kixen, for an explosive chat about the splitting of Indigenous Affairs. Tim also sits down for an interview with critically acclaimed musician and ‘gangster academic’ Tara Williamson to talk about her music, day job and who she would roundhouse-kick. Also, meet the finger puppets of Canadian politics!
