Daily on the Radio

Hey Folks,

For the first time this year (and as far back as we can remember), The Daily produced its own little radio program / podcast! We're really excited about it, and the first episode is attached. It also aired on CKUT Radio McGill this afternoon, on Off The Hour at 5:00.

This week, we have two stories - Ian Beattie interviewing Daily culture writer Michael Lee Murphy about his article from last week about his father's experience playing water polo, and Will Vanderbilt interviewing Max Halparin about covering the story of Adil Charkaoui.

You can listen to, or download the file here.

We'd love to hear your feedback! It's our first attempt at this sort of thing, so please be forgiving. Send love, hate, and snail mail to web [at] mcgilldaily.com.

DAILY/CKUT Audio: Adil Charkaoui speaks

Using secret evidence and an assumption of guilt to detain non-citizens indefinitely under threat of deportation, security certificate legislation inflicts high consequences on detainees with extremely low standards of justice, members of the Coalition Justice for Adil Charkaoui said at a Refugee Research Project event Wednesday.

Throughout the talk, Montreal French teacher and PhD student Adil Charkaoui detailed his decade-long struggle with the federal government over broad allegations of posing a threat to “national security,” or fitting the profile of a “sleeper agent” – terms that remain undefined in his case.

Last month, however, the judge hearing his public trial removed many of the strict conditions imposed upon him after his release from prison in 2005, stating that no evidence before her suggested Charkaoui was or might be dangerous.

Charkaoui – who does not have access to the supposed evidence in his file, and who has never been charged with a crime – said now is a critical point in his ongoing fight to clear his name.

– Max Halparin

DAILY/CKUT AUDIO: Gender and the invisible emperor

Professors Naito Chizuco and Ko Youngran, who flew in from Tokyo to present papers at McGill last week, examine the power that media representations can exert on reality – how the representations of groups and events can legitimize forgetting the past and ignoring aspects of the present.

DAILY/CKUT AUDIO: Destruction Flows From the Alberta Tar Sands to Montreal

Last Friday, McGill was the site of a critical discussion on the social and environmental destruction wreaked by the Northern Alberta oil sands developments.

Critics call the tar sands the most environmentally destructive source of energy on the planet. And aboriginal people living downstream in communities like Fort Chipewyan say that pollution is causing dramatically increased rates of cancer as it seeps into their food and water supplies.

CKUT's Caitlyn Chappell was at the panel to bring you the voices of speakers concerned about this flow of destruction.

AUDIO:

PART 1: Clayton Thomas-Muller of the Indigenous Environmental Network (runs 16 min 17 sec)

PART 2: Macdonald Stainsby of OilSandsTruth.org (6 min 44 sec)

PART 3: Maya Rolbin-Ghanie, a Montreal-based journalist and writer (7 min 33 sec)

PART 4: Mike Mercredi, a member of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation and former tar sands worker (15 min 14 sec)

CKUT Audio: Tent Cities in Nashville

Independent journalist and McGill student Nico Block recently travelled to the American South to investigate homelessness and the reemergence of tent cities in the US.

These settlements, built by poor and homeless people in face of home foreclosures and a nose-diving economy, recall the 'Hoovervilles' of the 1930s.

Block's report, entitled "Hustling Backwards," features the voices of Americans who are on the front-lines of economic crisis in Nashville, Tennessee - and who are finding shelter by taking matters into their own hands.

CLICK HERE to listen to Hustling Backwards. (runs 18min 57 sec)

CLICK HERE to read Nico's feature story on the Nashville tent city from the Monday, March 23 edition of The Daily.
