PODCAST: Spacing Radio 045, What matters in a pandemic

April 24, 2020 | By Spacing Radio

In a time of snitch lines, and shuttered park space, we dive into what we’re prioritizing in this pandemic, and what, and especially who, is ignored.

We talk to Spacing co-founder and Toronto Star columnist Shawn Micallef about what happens to the public realm, now we’re in lockdown.

Former Toronto Police Services Board Chair Alok Mukherjee, co-author of “Excessive Force: Toronto’s fight to reform city policing,” critiques the new, extraordinary policing measures we’re seeing.

And harm-reduction worker and Toronto Overdose Prevention Society co-organizer Zoë Dodd talks about what the City has done (or failed to) for people in the shelter system, substance users, and other vulnerable communities.

Plus, Glyn goes on a brief rant about all the cities making space for pedestrians to social distance that aren’t Toronto.
