Comedians Mark Chavez, Maddy Kelly, and Ryan Beil are not just writing the script this time around, they’re going to actually produce, direct and film their final creation. Will it be a true scream dream or a frightening Frankenstein?
Catch episode one starting Oct. 11 and check out the Let's Make a Horror audio trailer. | | | | |  | In the second episode of The Angel Carlick case, David Ridgen looks at the legacy of Wendy Carlick, Angel’s mother, who spent years fighting for truth and justice from the government — only for tragedy to strike again.
Wendy was set to speak at the Whitehorse public hearings at the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) in May 2017. But a month before these hearings — 10 years following the death of her daughter — she was murdered.
Hear about Wendy’s tireless fight and her enduring legacy in Episode 2.
The full CBC Podcasts Q&A interview with David Ridgen is now available. Hot tip: you can access episodes early on CBC Podcasts’ YouTube and the Apple True Crime Premium channel. | | | | | | | | | | | National Day for Truth and Reconciliation | | |  | September 30 was the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation as well as Orange Shirt Day, and it’s a time to reflect on and recognize the legacy of Canada’s residential school system.
