Over The Hoser Presents: Short Circuit

Short Circuit is the first podcast from The Hoser, a new independent digital media outlet in the Greater Toronto Area. Short Circuit covers the three major topics: food insecurity, labour, and housing across the GTA. We understand that these issues are inextricably connected: they each affect one another. Short Circuit will have weekly guests speaking from their vantage point and expertise on these issues, both from an organizing and research perspective as well as experiential knowledge.

Ep 6: Your 2023 Toronto Mayoral Candidates Election Roundup

Short Circuit hosts Shannon Carranco, Kevin Taghabon and Eric Wickham do a deep dive on six leading mayoral candidates and their policy on housing, transit, police, and their relationship to popular issues and previous voting history.  Candidates include city councillors Josh Matlow, Ana Bailao, former Toronto Sun columnist Anthony Furey, former Toronto Police Services chief Mark Saunders, former MP Olivia Chow and Chloe Brown.

Ep 4: Election Recap, Summer Projects, and Toronto's Fall Vote

On our fourth episode of Short Circuit hosts Shannon Carranco and Kevin Taghabon walk listeners through the projects The Hoser has been working on since our last episode before the provincial election in Ontario. We then recap the Conservative victory, the plummeting voter turnout in the province, and how little excitement was part of this election. Finally, we discuss what's coming up in Toronto this fall. Media workers especially: contact us if you want to help work with us on municipal election reporting. We were fortunate to be joined on mic by podcast producer extraordinaire Eric Wickham who brought some needed levity and earthiness to the conversation.

Ep 3: Labour Struggles and Pushback

On this third episode of Short Circuit hosts Shannon Carranco and Kevin Taghabon take a look at the state of labour in Ontario in the run up to the June 2nd provincial election. We begin with a visit to the University of Toronto where frontline service workers are fighting against the contracting out of secure, unionized public sector jobs. We then head to the Worker's Action Centre in Toronto where executive director Deena Ladd walks us through some of their strategies employed at WAC as well as the Justice for Workers campaign. Finally, we speak to Jennifer Scott, president of Gig Workers United, an organization of app-based workers fighting for union recognition and decent work in Ontario.

aflevering A Failure of Government: Struggle and Deaths in the Unhoused Community artwork

A Failure of Government: Struggle and Deaths in the Unhoused Community

In early February The Hoser was invited to a vigil in downtown Toronto to commemorate the lives of over 200 unhoused residents who died in the GTA in 2021. Hosts Shannon Carranco and Kevin Taghabon investigate the policy on the federal, provincial and city levels that have allowed for homelessness to grow since the early 90s. They speak to Lorraine Lam, an outreach worker at Sanctuary—a safe place for the unhoused community in downtown Toronto since 1992, and Gru, a member of the unhoused community and outspoken advocate for housing rights in the GTA. This episode was produced by Eric Wickham. If you like what The Hoser's doing you can support us by subscribing to our Patreon. [https://bit.ly/3J0Q6Yh]
