In this episode of Hub Dialogues, The Hub’s publisher Rudyard Griffiths is joined by nationally syndicated radio host Ben Mulroney, getting his thoughts on how Mark Carney effectively scared older Canadians into voting for him, the big promises he’s made in his first few weeks in office, and how he should respond to Alberta’s separatist threat. They also discuss the rise of podcasts and new media in influencing public opinion, why legacy outlets in Canada are so slow to adapt and innovate in this new media landscape, and how to trust independent podcasters and influencers who do not consider ethics and standards in their programming.
