The Copernic Affair is available now, wherever you get your podcasts.

The life of an unassuming sociology professor in Canada gets turned upside down when he is accused of carrying out a 1980 bomb attack on a synagogue in Paris. Hassan Diab says heʼs innocent, but French investigators are determined to prove otherwise.

Journalists Dana Ballout and Alex Atack take listeners through the twists and turns of this extraordinary story, all the while asking…

Is Hassan Diab guilty, or is he a scapegoat? And what if one person’s justice means committing an injustice to another?

You can become a Canadaland supporter to listen to the whole series early and ad-free.

Canadaland has launched its first ever celebrity interview podcast and it’s not great. It’s The Worst Podcast.

Celebrities are always talking about their bests. Now hear them at their worst.

Join award-winning filmmaker and noted curmudgeon Alan Zweig for refreshingly honest conversations with “notable people” about the worst things in life.

Alan has no interest in best-selling books or Hollywood triumphs, and doesn’t know (or care) much about his guests. 

He’s looking for real conversations that dig deep and get to the worst things: nagging fears, embarrassing secrets and haunting regrets. And he’ll no doubt share a few of his own along the way.

Listen to The Worst Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.
