long live the Fourth Estate (with Allan Thompson)
our guest today is the Director of the School of Journalism and Communication at Carleton University and head of Carleton’s journalism program, Allan Thompson (https://carleton.ca/sjc/profile/thompson-allan/).
Professor Thompson is a lifelong journalist who's reported from newsrooms around the world—from Washington, to England, to Rwanda.
Thompson joined us to examine the current state of American political journalism in the Trump era, and to tell us why he still has faith in the future of news media thanks to the passion and energy shown by the next gen of j-schoolers.

smashing patriarchy through shine theory (with Julie S. Lalonde)
Our Galentine's Day guest this year is the magnificent Miss Julie S. Lalonde—a dear friend of ours as well as a bestselling author, an internationally recognized women’s rights advocate, and a public educator.
Franco-ontarienne du nord de l’Ontario, elle est basée à Ottawa. Julie holds a BA and MA in Canadian Studies and Women’s Studies from Carleton University with a focus on the lives of economically disadvantaged elderly women.
Julie and Jenn discussed how to discuss Epstein while centering survivors, the many brosocialist losers lurking on the left, harassment and bystander intervention, and the urgent need for strong millennial feminist friends (like us!) to lift eachother up and stop tearing eachother down (shine theory, baby!).
