    The Current

    Three stories to expand your worldview, delivered daily. Matt Galloway cuts through a sea of choice to bring you stories that transcend the news cycle. Conversations with big thinkers, household names, and people living the news. An antidote to algorithms that cater to what you already know — and a meeting place for diverse perspectives. In its 20 years, the Current has become a go-to place for stories that shape and entertain us. Released daily, Monday to Friday.

    The Current is produced in Toronto, Ontario, Canada — and has recently recorded live shows about the Canadian election in Surrey and Burnaby BC. And shows to come in Oshawa and the 905, Red Deer, Alberta, Quebec City and Halifax.

    How decades of rotting fish sauce changed a small town Jun 15, 2026
    Show notes

    There are a lot of strange things transported by highway in Canada. Full houses on wheels, wind turbine blades, taller than a duplex — and coming soon, along Newfoundland's Route 90: maybe the strangest load ever; decades-old fish sauce. The kind of sauce that’s used for dipping and marinating in Asian cuisines. It’s a condiment many people in Newfoundland and Labrador have never even tried. CBC’s Mary-Catherine McIntosh looks into where those loads are headed, how the sauce came to be, and why the mayor of a tiny town called St. Mary’s will be standing by, watching the trucks back away from his community likely, he says, in tears in her documentary: Fish Sauce.
