Podcasting has become a rare bright spot for the news industry. Whether it be true crime investigations, daily news, marginalized voices, niche topics or in-depth conversations, podcasts are also taking hold throughout Canada. Master interviewers, expert storytellers and those who bring a depth of subject-specific knowledge share their experiences of launching a podcast in Canada and the challenges of creating compelling audio narratives.
