Episode 72 of The Tideline, with Tara Thorne, is published.

Halifax’s reggae queen Jah’Mila is wasting no time getting back on stages around the province. This Friday and Saturday she’ll perform the works of her hero Nina Simone with Symphony Nova Scotia, a progression across the past few years of one-off SNS appearances into her own headlining show. She stops by to talk about her life growing up in Jamaica, how she became part of the Halifax scene, the way the pandemic has pushed her to look at her music career, and what she’ll be wearing on stage at the Cohn.

Listen to the episode here.

Uncover: Dead Wrong

In 1995, Brenda Way was brutally murdered behind a Dartmouth apartment building. In 1999, Glen Assoun was found guilty of the murder. He served 17 years in prison, but steadfastly maintained his innocence. In 2019, Glen Assoun was fully exonerated.

Halifax Examiner founder and investigative journalist Tim Bousquet has followed the story of Glen Assoun's wrongful conviction for over five years. Now, Bousquet tells that story as host of Season 7 of the CBC podcast series Uncover: Dead Wrong.
