What do you get when you mix industrial noise, international mystery, and a whole lot of polite complaining? That’s right — The Windsor Hum.

This week we dive ears-first into one of the weirdest and most persistent sonic mysteries in the Great White North. Since the early 2010s, folks in Windsor, Ontario, have been plagued by a low, rumbling sound that won’t go away. It’s not your fridge. It’s not your neighbour’s subwoofer. It’s so...

This week we dive into the incredible, slightly pungent, and definitely fascinating world of Canada’s ammonia car pioneer. Greg Vezina, political activist turned eco-inventor, is out to prove that fuel doesn’t have to come from fossils — it can come from fertilizer.
