This is Why: Welcome
Hey, I\u2019m Niki Reitmayer, host of a brand new podcast called, \u201cThis Is Why.\u201d\n\nEach week we will go beyond the headlines. It\u2019s a podcast for those who are interested in news but want the full picture.\n\nThis Is Why gives you context behind the stories people are talking about, or should be talking about. We want to feel the emotion that lies under the headline \u2013 the anger, the sadness, the joy \u2013 and get a true understanding of why it matters to you, to me, our friends, and our families. We want to arm you with details and a clearer picture so you can form your own opinions. After all, news is more than just facts and stats. News is a collection of stories that affect you, your friends, and your community.\n\nWe\u2019re going to do this with help from some of the best journalists in the country\u2026and a wicked curiosity. We\u2019re not going to shy away from tough stories or controversial questions as we try to get to the root of what defines us as Canadians.\n\nSo here\u2019s the deal: 20 minutes a week. And together we\u2019ll explore the news in a way that actually makes sense.\n\nThe show is going to launch on Friday, June 8th. You can subscribe now to the This Is Why podcast on Apple Podcast, Google Play, or anywhere you get your favourite podcasts. Subscribe now, and I\u2019ll talk to you on Friday.
