Join host Erin Trafford as she dives into the shifting tides of the Canadian media landscape, addressing the unique challenges Canadian media faces, the impact of government regulations, and the need for advocacy and innovation in the media industry.

  • The Future of Canadian Media: Erin underscores the urgent need for conversation, innovation, and advocacy in the media sector. She hints at the potential of live podcast recordings as a means of bridging the gap between creators and audiences, and stresses the importance of audience engagement.
