Jesse Brown is the founder and editor of Canadaland, Canada’s largest independent podcast network. We start our conversation talking about the state of journalism in Canada, four years after Podcast for Inquiry’s inaugural episode with Jonathan Kay on the same topic. The bulk of our conversation is focused on Jesse’s latest investigative reporting series, What Is Happening Here. Jews in Canada are the targets of hate crimes radically disproportionate to their numbers in Canada, which has been the case for many years but made worse since the start of the Hamas - Israel war. Jesse talks about why he created the series, analyzes some possible reasons why hatred against Jews is so much more pronounced in Canada than other countries, and suggests that open and honest conversations are a necessary step toward living together in peace and harmony.
I also recommend Canadaland’s investigative series on WE Charity: The White Saviors.
