(Short Cuts) Game of Drones: Canada Pays for Olympic Cheating

Drones make headlines at the Paris Olympics, and it’s all Canadian soccer’s fault. Mattea Roach joins Jonathan Goldsbie to consider the narratives around cheating in sports, and why it’s less personal than it was with Ben Johnson.


Plus, why exactly does Postmedia want to acquire Atlantic Canada newspaper chain SaltWire? Breaking down the economics of vulture capitalism in Canadian media and what it would take to actually save local news.



Host: Jonathan Goldsbie

Credits: James Nicholson (Producer), Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor), max collins (Production Manager), Karyn Pugliese (Editor-in-Chief)

Guest: Mattea Roach
