In cities and towns across Ontario — and at Queen’s Park and Parliament Hill — our journalists work for you. Their mission is to dig for answers and tell you what they find.

This new daily podcast from Village Media — ‘Closer Look’ — is all about the stories we tell.

Every weeknight, hosts Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith go beyond the headlines with insightful, in-depth conversations featuring our reporters and editors, leading experts, key stakeholders and big newsmakers.

On tonight’s episode: The death of remote work.

With COVID-19 long behind us, a growing number of employers are demanding that their workers actually come to work.

The financial sector is leading the charge, but those companies aren't alone.

Are remote workers less productive? Or is the push for in-office work driven by something else?

Joining us on the podcast to break down the pros and cons is Alex Gallacher, managing director of Engage HR.

New episodes of ‘Closer Look’ drop every Monday to Friday at 7 p.m. across the Village Media network. You can find every episode HERE or wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts.
