The Tradewaiters

Jam, Jeff, and JD return to Alberta for the rest of Kate Beaton's "Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands." We still have lots to talk about as Kate survives her own journey of being metaphorically trapped in a tailings pond. We'll talk about resource extraction, Canadian history, late capitalism, misogyny, and (be warned) sexual assault. Music by Sleuth. Our next episode will cover "The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Cartoonist" by Adrian Tomine.
