This week on What Happened Next, host Nathan Whitlock is joined by award-winning novelist, essayist, and children’s author Kyo Maclear. Her most recent book is Unearthing: A Story of Tangled Love and Family Secrets, which won the Governor General’s Literary Award for Nonfiction. Kyo and Nathan talk about her tendency, as a writer and as a person, to seek out beauty and optimism, about starting to write a memoir even as the events it depicts are still happening, and about how the publication of Unearthing has allowed her to stop seeking to resolve some of the family secrets it explores.

In this episode, Duncan Sinclair speaks with Teresa Resch, the sports executive leading Toronto Tempo, Canada’s first WNBA team.

Teresa also discusses growing the fan base, building a competitive roster, and creating a true home for the team.

There is a growing generational divide in Canada’s housing landscape, one that’s not only pushing young people out of their communities but also leaving seniors behind.

Roy spoke at The Walrus Talks Equitable Housing in Vancouver on October 26, 2023.
