See You in Court

About See You in Court

Named one of Apple Podcasts' Best Podcasts of 2025. The stories behind the legal battles that changed Canada — and the unlikely people who made it happen. Some were sh*t distributors, some were convicts, and some were just regular folks dragged into a fight. Each week, host Falen Johnson teams up with a journalist to dig into a case that challenged the status quo, and asks: what kind of person takes on the law? What are the costs? And what would our lives look like if these cases never happened? Because let's be real, just because a case is closed doesn't mean the story is over.

Inside a recent episode

Part 1 | The Holocaust survivor who put a neo-Nazi on trial

Published 13 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] So it seems like this is becoming a trial about the very basics of Holocaust history. Essentially. And the prosecution is caught flat-footed. They must judge that this would be Christie's strategy. and they soon realize they have a very serious problem. The Crown was very quickly presented with the necessity of learning a lot of history on the fly and being prepared to take on a very well-organized defense.
