Welcome to the latest issue of The Walrus Lab Insider, a quarterly update from our custom content department. In this newsletter, we are showcasing our latest podcasts. Let's get into it!
Canadian Time Machine/Voyage dans l’histoire canadienne
Was it really a case of FOMO that brought PEI into Confederation? Did you know reels of 35mm silent films were discovered under the permafrost in the Yukon?
Hosts Angela Misri (English) and Ariane-Li Simard Côté (French) take listeners on a unique journey back in time through some of the country’s most iconic moments.
“One thing that surprised me about this season of Canadian Time Machine were the moments of humour that
emerged between our host and some of our guests. While many of the topics that we cover are sobering, we also learn quirky facts and anecdotes that bring some levity to parts of our complicated history.
— Caro Rolando, Canadian Time Machine Producer

Imagine 2080
Big challenges, big ideas, and big solutions. We explore critical questions for Canada’s future in our newest podcast, Imagine 2080, produced for
McMaster University’s Future of Canada Project.
Host Ann Elisabeth Samson navigates issues Canadians will be facing decades ahead, featuring experts in a variety of fields, spanning the gamut of sustainability, economy, civic engagement, and
reconciliation.
“When putting Imagine 2080 together, I had to write the scripts with a futurist mindset—something I have never consciously thought about before. Through listening to all the interviews and talks, it made me realize how much we all have a role to play in the future of Canada.”
