Canadaland has launched its first ever celebrity interview podcast and itâs not great. Itâs The Worst Podcast.
Celebrities are always talking about their bests. Now hear them at their worst.
Join award-winning filmmaker and noted curmudgeon Alan Zweig for refreshingly honest conversations with ânotable peopleâ about the worst things in life.
Alan has no interest in best-selling books or Hollywood triumphs, and doesnât know (or care) much about his guests.
Heâs looking for real conversations that dig deep and get to the worst things: nagging fears, embarrassing secrets and haunting regrets. And heâll no doubt share a few of his own along the way.
Listen to The Worst Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

It has been ten months since the arrival of the Taliban. Marwa takes the steps to settle in Germany and takes a step back from her country, its traditions and its history. It is the first time she has been in Europe, and everything in Germany surprises her.
In Afghanistan, the Taliban impose full veils on women. Raha is more and more desperate, and plots her escape.

Marwa arrives in Germany and everything surprises her. Raha sends the terrifying sounds of the end of Ramadan. She is increasingly cooped up and angry in Kabul, but she manages to send gifts from there.
It always gets harder to talk to Raha. Caroline Gillet doesn't know if it's because of the power cuts, or if Raha can no longer find how to say what she's going through.
The end of Ramadan is determined by the stars and in Afghanistan, we observe the decision of the Emirates to announce the start of Eid - El - Fitr. The three-day festival marks the end of the fast. Raha tells Caroline that she slowly starts cleaning the house as tradition dictates at the end of Ramadan and then, one evening, she sends chilling voice messages.

We arrive in April, and it has been eight months since Marwa and Raha began talking about their daily lives with reporter Caroline Gillet. Raha is in Kabul, Marwa in a refugee camp in Abu Dhabi. They say that documenting what they are experiencing and sharing helps to compensate for the immobility.
The economic situation in Afghanistan is dramatic following the freezing of international aid which financed nearly 80% of the Afghan budget. Half of the country is threatened by hunger. Aid is conditional on measures promised by the Taliban in favor of human rights and women's rights in particular, such as the return of adolescent girls to school.
Marwa and Raha celebrate Ramadan in very new conditions. These religious events are perhaps the last things that connect them. In this episode, their two trajectories will separate radically. While Marwa is far from her family, Raha is surrounded, but explosions make her fear for her mother's life, and push her employers to fire her. Marwa finally has her tickets to go to Germany.

Revolt in all its forms â hidden or revealed â is unfolding in Kabul and in the Abu Dhabi camp.
From the start, Caroline Gillet asks Marwa and Raha questions, and they answer. Or they send her sounds, or photos, when they want to share something. The reporter never knows what she will discover when she opens a voice note.
Sometimes there are long minutes of ambience, or short messages for practical things, or 20 minutes of monologues to tell a story. The reporter learns to recognize false cheerful tones when things are not going well.
An episode with a guitar, slogans, French high school students, and feelings of when you are 20 years old.

With the mediaâs attention turned away from Afghanistan and snow beginning to fall, Raha and Marwa continue to endure the daily realities of their new lives â finding simple pleasures that help them get through the day.
While Raha finally finds a new job opportunity and a glimmer of hope, Marwa begins to go out at night in the camp and creates a new family to help her quench her desire for home.

It has been three months since the Taliban returned to power. Raha and Marwa regularly receive reminders from Instagram of what their lives used to be â at a birthday, at a party, surrounded by friends. They send screenshots with their voice notes to Caroline Gillet.
For Caroline, she sees evidence of daily lives that had been so much closer to her own than she would have imagined. The images make Caroline more aware of the scale and speed of the upheavals over recent weeks.
While Raha endures the economic crisis and the multiplication of power cuts in Kabul, Marwa becomes familiar with the refugee camp, but the uncertainty and waiting weigh down. Marwa dreams of the future.

INSIDE KABUL is a multi-award winning series by journalist Caroline Gillet that follows the daily life of two young Afghan women, Marwa and Raha. Both have been recording their daily lives since the arrival of the Taliban in August 2021. Should they stay? Leave? And when they leave, what does exile look like?
Raha and Marwa record voice notes on their phones each day which they send to Caroline in Paris. They record to feel less isolated, to share the horror, to share the sounds of their new reality. They refuse to give up.
Raha and Marwa record for themselves to remember, and also for us â so that we know and don't forget them.

The video game industry, like much of the tech, has been resistant to unionization for a very long time. But like so many other white-collar businesses, video game studios are built on the backs of thousands of exploited, low-paid workers.
This is the story of Canadaâs first-ever video game union. And the lengths that the industry went to try to stop it in its tracks.

The huge rise in international students in Canada â most of them from Punjab, India â has become one of the biggest stories in the country. But most media outlets and political parties have framed it entirely as a housing issue.
Theyâre missing the point.
This is a story about the creation of a new, racialized underclass to do all of the work we donât want to do. And itâs about the human wreckage thatâs left in the wake after weâre done squeezing those people of every penny and every drop of sweat that we can.

Earla Phillips has almost 16,000 Uber rides under her belt. But over the last few years, sheâs been trying to hold Uber, one of the most powerful tech companies in the world, to account.
Earla is a leader in a growing movement of gig workers who are trying to reclaim the basic labour rights that have been stripped from them.
She expected to face opposition from tech companies and governments that are hostile to workers. But what she didnât anticipate was that one of the biggest obstacles in her path would be a labour union.

A Field Guide to Gay Animals explores sexuality, gender, and joy in the animal world. Animal enthusiasts Owen Ever and Laine Kaplan-Levenson take us on a quest to see beyond the natural world as we know it and into the natural world as it is: queer as f*ck.
Cheeky and contemplative, curious and raunchy, Field Guide shows us that the natural world is more exuberant, more joyful, and more gay than we could possibly imagine.

Mandalena Lewis is one of far too many flight attendants who have been harassed or assaulted on the job. And her story is just one example of a culture of sexism and abuse that she alleges pervades the airline industry.
But itâs not just airlines. So many workers, especially in female-dominated professions like nursing, education or food service, have to endure similar demeaning and violent treatment.
And when they go to their employers, not only are they often ignored. Theyâre actively silenced.

In 2006, Zakaria Amara was arrested and imprisoned for planning what could have been one of the deadliest terror attacks in Canadian history. A ringleader of the so-called âToronto 18,â heâs one of the most infamous Canadian convicts of the last few decades.
But this wonât be an episode about the Toronto 18 terror plot. This is about what happened to one of the ringleaders after that plot was foiled. About his many years of incarceration. About the possibility of rehabilitation. And what role, if any, imprisonment and prison labour played in that.
Featured in this episode: Zakaria Amara
CORRECTION: We stated in this episode that this was Zakaria Amaraâs first interview with a member of the press. But it was in fact his first broadcast interview since his release. We regret the error.

â©âȘ A long, long time ago, I can still remember
How the music used to pay my bills
I knew that if I got my break
That I could be as big as Drake
And then I could stop shopping at No Frills â©âȘ
â©âȘ But Spotify, itâs nearly killed us
Ticketmasterâs ground us to dust
The companies got too large
Now monopolies are in charge â©âȘ
â©âȘ And the record labels I fear the most
Have all just merged and so now weâre toast
Donât you think itâs just so gross?

Prison labour is largely invisible in Canada. Most prisoners who work do institutional upkeep, the kind of cleaning, cooking and maintenance thatâs required to keep a prison running.
But then there are prison industries. Not only do Canadian prisoners work for for-profit businesses, but theyâre sometimes doing dangerous and nauseating work around.

All labour exists on a spectrum, ranging from enslavement at one pole, to fully, freely given on the other.
And, in Canada, at the most extreme end of that spectrum are prison labourers. Incarcerated people have few rights and fewer options when it comes to their working lives.
If we want to truly understand our criminal justice system and Canadian labour, we need to examine how prisoners work.

Today weâre sharing with you a preview of the first episode of Canadalandâs newest show Pretendians.
What do some of the most prominent and successful Indigenous artists, leaders and thinkers have in common? They arenât Indigenous.
From major universities, to the halls of power, to Hollywood, there are people claiming to be Indigenous in the interest of power, money, and status. There are dozens of outrageous cases of Indigenous identity fraud that we know about, and likely thousands that we do not.
So why do these so-called âPretendiansâ do it? How do they pull it off? And what happens when they are exposed?
