The drug war, covered by drug users as war correspondents. Crackdown is a monthly podcast about drugs, drug policy and the drug war led by drug user activists and supported by research. Each episode will tell the story of a community fighting for their lives. It’s also about solutions, justice for those we have lost, and saving lives.
Every episode, legal expert Andrew and comic relief Thomas will tackle a popular legal topic and give you all the tools you need to understand the issue and win every argument you have on Facebook, with your Uncle Frank, or wherever someone is wrong on the Internet. It's law. It's politics. It's fun. We don't tell you what to think, we just set up the Opening Arguments.
A podcast about intellectuals and the work that they do. But it’s not just for the Ivy crowd, it’s for everybody. Even if you hack darts, and you wouldn’t be caught dead with a New Yorker tote bag. Hosted by Gordon Katic and created by Cited Media.
Experts shape our world. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. In every big story, you’ll find one; you’ll find a researcher, scientist, engineer, planner, policy wonk, data nerd, bureaucrat, regulator, intellectual, or pseudointellectual. Their ideas are often opaque, unrecognized, and difficult to understand. Some of them like it that way. On Cited, we reveal their hidden stories.
Radio From Hell is the longest running radio program in the Salt Lake City area, and has consistently been rated as one of the best programs in the area by media reviews and polls. The show has received praise from outside the Utah region; Rolling Stone cited KXRK as one of the top-five rock and roll radio stations in the U.S., and reported that Radio From Hell was one of the longest-running local radio programs in the U.S.
The Blue and Goldcast is a podcast from the University of British Columbia that explores the big issues in higher education. Each episode is hosted by UBC President Santa Ono and UBC Professor Margot Young. Each month, you'll hear leading scholars discussing their own work, and their perspectives on how universities are changing--from UBC, to campuses across North America.
Television news reporter Kaitlin McCulley left her job during a pandemic. Now what? Her goal: find a better way to share stories that matter. No BS. Look, it's no secret the TV news industry is broken and affecting how people treat each other. How can you find the facts?
