Jonathan Goldsbie co-hosts.

We talk to two Canadian journalists who are facing legal consequences --including jail time-- for doing their jobs. VICE reporter Ben Makuch is heading to the Supreme Court to try to stop the RCMP from getting access to communications he had with alleged ISIS recruit Farah Shirdon in 2014. APTN's Justin Brake, formerly of The Independent, is facing criminal charges for disobeying a court injunction while following Indigenous land protectors onto the site of the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project in 2016.
The outcomes of these cases could set precedents for how the press is allowed to operate.

Richard Stursberg was the most hated CBC executive in recent history. What advice does he have for Catherine Tait, the CBC's new president? And what does he have to say about his own infamous legacy?
Correction: An earlier version of this episode stated that Richard Stursberg lost the rights to Hockey Night In Canada and that he put ads on CBC Radio 2. He did neither of those things.

Tim Fontaine "set fire" to his journalism career last December, when he launched Walking Eagle News.
After 20 years of covering tragedy and injustice for CBC and APTN, Tim is turning his attention to criticizing and creating the news—as opposed to reporting it.
He's written about everything from Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government's poor attempts at reconciling with Indigenous peoples, to rez dogs on the verge of forming single consciousness.
Tim joins Jesse from Winnipeg.

Creative Commons CEO Ryan Merkley still believes in the dream of The Internet.
Remember that dream? Before Russian troll-bots, “fake news,” Cambridge Analytica, digital monopolies and worse — it was a common one.
Is an open, free, glorious Internet still possible? Do we still even want that?
Ryan joins Jesse.
