The Tideline, with Tara Thorne

Three famous comedians: Two Black women and a white woman

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

Fellow awards show and movies obsessive Lisa Buchanan returns to chat with Tara about the Oscars’ full-scale return to pre-pandemic times—including the usual pre-pandemic mess! They dig into this year’s attempt to bring in viewers (it will fail, it always fails) and how that decision has alienated a swath of craftspeople, Jane Campion’s record-setting nominations—and perhaps award-losing comments—Kristen Stewart and Jessica Chastain, the dominance of international films, and all manner of spoilers. Plus a new song by Keeper E.

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.
