Cherry Picking with Alexia Benn
Full DisclosureWelcome to Cherry Picking, a political podcast recorded on lək̓ʷəŋən territory. Initially, this show was created by host Alexia Benn as a coping mechanism to find joy while completing the final year of her undergrad. Uniquely messy, at times particularly niche, and consistently caught within the contradictions of life, Cherry Picking now seeks to analyze, interrogate, and assess private and public policy through the consumption and gossip of mainstream media, acknowledging profit incentives lurking in the political sphere. From municipal politics, RCMP expenditures, anarchist and Marxist theory, environmental policy, and Indigenous governance, facts, feelings and ideas meet in the ether, given a chance to air themselves out. Always professionally unbiased, and always driven by the utmost care and consideration for human life, with a goal of accessibility. What does the acid rain which falls from the sky whisper to us? How do we listen? What will we do? Tune in most Wednesdays, sometimes with guests!
