INSIDE THE VILLAGE: After Roe v. Wade, Canadians have every right to be afraid

Welcome back to Inside the Village, a one-of-a-kind podcast where all news is local—and no topic is off-limits.

On this week's episode, we explore the court ruling heard round the world: The U.S. Supreme Court's contentious decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark judgment that—until now—protected a woman's constitutional right to an abortion in America.

Professor Tami Friedman, who teaches modern U.S. history at Brock University, provides important context on the controversial ruling—and discusses the ripple effects already being felt north of the border.

Also on the podcast: The Search for Bigfoot. Not convinced the mythical creature exists? You may change your mind after listening to Ryan Willis of the Trent University Sasquatch Society.

Launched in April, Inside the Village is a news and current affairs podcast that provides a weekly window into some of the best local journalism from across Village Media's chain of Ontario newsrooms. The program also explores bigger-picture issues that impact people all across the province.

Every episode is available on this news site /insidethevillage. If you prefer the audio version, it is available wherever you find your favourite podcasts.
