Brian Borcherdt came of age in Yarmouth in the 1990s. When he arrived in Halifax, the city's famous music scene was already waning, and worse, the music he made was rejected by the cool kids anyway. After decades away from Nova Scotia, he and his young family have settled in the Annapolis Valley, where he'll zoom in to chat with Tara about his band Holy Fuck's endlessly delayed tour, creating the Dependent Music collective, and the freedom and excitement of the improvised music he's making now. Plus: Bringing events back in 2021.

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.
