The Tideline, with Tara Thorne

Episode 57 of The Tideline, with Tara Thorne, is published.

Keeper E has made one of the most auspicious debuts in recent memory — even picking up new artist of the year at Nova Scotia Music Week last month — in the form of The Sparrows All Find Food, seven thoughtful and catchy bedroom pop songs she produced at home in Sackville, NB, while drifting away from a classical piano degree. The artist also known as Adelle Elwood stops by to chat about finding her real artistic voice, being a child non-prodigy, and her first year navigating the music business (spoiler alert: it’s going well).

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.
