Hosted by Toronto native Sean Rameswaram of the excellent Radiolab spinoff More Perfect, the show produces thought-provoking, beautifully reported episodes on everything from presidential politics to the end of Game of Thrones, yet never loses sight of the humour behind the headlines.

Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind staging of the show that’s been hailed as a thrilling new edition to the daily news landscape.
