This week on What Happened Next, host Nathan Whitlock is joined by author Anne Flemming, whose most recent book is the novel Curiosities, published by Knopf Canada in 2024. Anne and Nathan talk about the unexpected joy of doing a bookstore reading for two people, why her latest novel was so hard to crack (and why her next one will be, too), and her feelings about being on the Giller Prize shortlist during a year when the prize became the focus of so much controversy and numerous author boycotts.

In this episode, Duncan Sinclair speaks with Teresa Resch, the sports executive leading Toronto Tempo, Canada’s first WNBA team. She shares her journey from rural Minnesota to the forefront of women’s sports, reflecting on career milestones, the challenges of launching a new franchise, and the power of storytelling, investment, and community. Teresa also discusses growing the fan base, building a competitive roster, and creating a true home for the team.

There’s a lot of talk about voter turnout ahead of Canada’s upcoming federal election, especially when it comes to young Canadians. But low turnout isn’t always an indicator of indifference. Sometimes, it’s a signal that people feel left out. Samantha Reusch, executive director of Apathy is Boring, underscores how creating pathways for Gen Z and millennials to participate in civic conversations helps foster a more vibrant and responsive democracy. Reusch spoke at The Walrus Talks Wellbeing in Quebec City on June 2, 2019.
