Episode transcript

Part 1

OJ Simpson 

He's famous for running. Now he'll walk. O.J. Simpson is granted parole after serving time for kidnapping and armed robbery -- to the disgust of the Goldman family, who still believe he killed their son. 

Cornwallis Protester 

Even after the takedown, she's calling for a takedown. A group of self-described national socialists distributes the personal data of people who supported a proposal to remove a statue of Edward Cornwallis -- but our guest isn't fazed. 

Danny Michel 

Given his profession, you'd expect a measured response. But while an Ontario baker is playing it cool about finding a musician's beloved lost guitar, the musician -- Danny Michel -- is ecstatic.

Part 2 

Xanda Killed

Hurting their pride. Two years ago, there was international outrage when Cecil the lion was killed by a big-game hunter -- and now, Cecil's son Xanda has suffered the same fate. 

Naloxone Festival

A precautionary tale. An Ottawa woman was hoping to take a Naloxone kit with her to a music festival to prevent overdoses -- but the organizers have asked her to leave what they call "drug paraphernalia" at home.
