The Tideline, with Tara Thorne

Braden Lam, a young white man. He's looking pensively to the right, standing in a field at dusk. He's wearing a black fedora, a burgundy/rust coloured blazer with a white T shirt underneath.
Episode 56 of The Tideline, with Tara Thorne, is published.

The young singer-songwriter Braden Lam has already got a pair of EPs under his belt, which he made in between getting a degree at Dal, starting his own business, and falling in love. For the holidays he’s dropped a fresh cover of Joni Mitchell’s “River,” and stops by the
show to talk stalled momentum, the musical ice age caused by the pandemic, why land acknowledgments are important to him, and his slate of December shows.

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.
