About Elbows Up
It's a fascinating time to be Canadian. This is a show that breaks all that wide open. Dangers. Opportunities. The stories that make this country what it is. And what it isn't. Longtime journalist and podcast host Jordan Heath-Rawlings (Elbows Up, The Big Story, The Gravy Train) returns to host critical Canadian Conversations with leading experts and storytellers. These are discussions—about who we are, how we got here, and where we're going—designed to offer more than soundbites and headlines. They'll introduce you to places, people and policies you might not have otherwise met, or perhaps not considered to be worth your attention. But they are.

You know, in most cases, they're retired. They're willing to pick up the phone and start chatting. So I was talking to one person who does fraud prevention and technological awareness for seniors and said like, it's very hard for people to sort of change that part of who they are, how they've lived their lives. So the phone is very important. So that's why they're able to be sucked in through this in this manner. […]
