Aggressive U.S. foreign policy has created deep instability—not only here in Canada, but globally. From the ongoing war in Iran to a devastating four-month fuel blockade in Cuba—causing medical blackouts and sanitation crises—the global impacts are severe. This week on rabble radio, we share a clip from the most recent Off the Hill political panel on American Imperialism. This webinar took place on Tuesday, May 19, 2026 and featured Gabriel De Roche, Madelaine Drohan, Thomas Ponniah and Karl Nerenberg.

episode The nature that surrounds us artwork

The nature that surrounds us

This week, in honour of Earth Day, we're sharing something a little different on rabble radio: a series of soundscapes, taking you across the world, visiting rabble staff and friends, old and new, in nature. As the national director of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society, Sandra Schwartz recently shared on the Courage My Friends podcast series [https://rabble.ca/podcast/from-ecosystems-to-economics-how-canadas-conserved-and-protected-areas-contribute-billions-to-the-economy/]: "There is good scientific evidence to show that time in nature reduces stress. It creates a sense of community. It creates a sense of wanting to protect what's around you too." We hope you enjoy this week's episode and that it encourages you to get out and appreciate the nature surrounding you—not just this Earth Week, but all year long. Take a listen. Featured in this week's episode are: * Nick Seebruch, editor * Sarah Sahagian, publisher * Gabriela Calugay-Casuga, labour reporter * Karishma Joshi, digital engagement producer * Breanne Doyle, podcast producer * Stephen Wentzell, former national politics reporter * Bridget Potasky, former Jack Layton Journalism for Change fellow (2025/26) * Bryan Carney, technical lead * Mads Bayliss, administrative assistant

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
