10d ago36:29

36:29

In this turbulent era, for many of us there is a moment in every day when anxiety steals over us. We pause, and in that rare period of stillness, the fears surface — but sometimes, if we’re lucky, so too do the reflections and the insights. Our guest on today’s program has called this interlude “the catastrophe hour,” and she’s just published a boo…

24d ago34:55

34:55

One of the most polarizing policies of the pandemic era was the extended school closures.

Our guest on the program today is a …

Phoebe Maltz Bovy is a Toronto-based jo…

EP 186: Election 2025 - Melanie Paradis on Women's Fertility 25:07

2M ago25:07

25:07

Women’s fertility is a third rail in Canadian politics. We all learned this again last week, when Pierre Poilievre made a comment about biological clocks that sparked outrage. If you followed the controversy in the mainstream media only, you might not know that a number of women were glad to see Poilievre raise the issue of fertility — including my…

2M ago17:48

17:48

As election season builds steam, here at Lean Out we are focused on the question of why daily life in Canada has become so expensive and so dysfunctional.

29:15

With the Canadian federal election now underway, we’re going to have a lot of political content for you in coming weeks.

2M ago28:17

28:17

In the wake of President Trump’s executive order on DEI, debates in America have renewed a conversation around DEI in this country.

3M ago38:34

38:34

On Monday night, American legislation to ban transgender athletes from women’s and girls’ sports in schools was blocked in the Senate.

EP 176: Andrea Mrozek on Why Marriage Still Matters 33:57

3M ago33:57

33:57

One of the themes of the Lean Out podcast is the breakdown of trust between men and women. For a marker of this rupture, we need only look to declining marriage rates.

20:13

This week on the Lean Out podcast, we continue our coverage of a chaotic time in Canadian politics.

EP 163: Ruy Teixeira: The Progressive Moment is Over 47:44

6M ago47:44

47:44

With Donald Trump winning the presidency, the popular vote, the Senate, and the House, in what The New York Times has described as a “crushing electoral rebuke” of the Democrats, there is a lot of soul-searching going on in the party.

EP 162: Andy Mills on What the Media Missed 1:17:56

6M ago1:17:56

1:17:56

In 2016, the election of Donald Trump took the mainstream media by surprise, with many in the press struggling to understand his rise to power and the factors driving it.

EP 161: Larissa Phillips on Loving Your Neighbour 30:24

6M ago30:24

30:24

Since last week’s election win for Donald Trump, we are seeing a renewed sense of scorn for Republican voters in parts of the mainstream media. The Guardian’s Rebecca Solnit, for example, writes in her column that “our mistake was to think we lived in a better country than we do.” My guest on today’s program doesn’t see it that way. She’s a lefty D…

EP 159: Gary Taubes on Why We Get Fat 39:09

7M ago39:09

39:09

What makes us fat? It’s a contentious debate in the world of health science. Is obesity caused by energy imbalance — consuming too many calories — as has long been conventional thought? Or is obesity caused by the effects of carbohydrates on insulin? My guest on today’s program attended an invite-only global gathering of obesity experts. The result…

EP 158: Harrison Scott Key on How to Stay Married 42:13

7M ago42:13

42:13

This past summer was the summer of the divorce memoir. Books glamorizing marital breakdown were everywhere, depicting the act of walking away from a marriage as radical self-empowerment. But I could not find a single memoir about the opposite perspective: staying and working things out and rediscovering love. My guest on today’s program has written…

EP 157: Rachel Cohen: Why I Changed My Mind About Volunteering 23:18

7M ago23:18

The period often referred to as The Great Awokening is winding down now, and we’re starting to get a better understanding of what happened.

38:42

Statistics Canada released new data last week, showing that in 2023, the fertility rate in Canada reached a record low — just 1.26 births per woman — making us one of the “lowest low” fertility countries in the world.

8M ago46:28

46:28

The activist left in America has been very visible in recent years, often dominating the public conversation online and in prominent institutions.

EP 151: The Way Forward for Canadian Immigration 24:57

9M ago24:57

24:57

One of the big stories of this summer was immigration. Canada has had a decades-long, bipartisan, pro-immigration consensus — but in recent months, that has collapsed. And one of the most contentious parts of our system is now the Temporary Foreign Worker program, which was deregulated during 2022 in the midst of pandemic labour shortages. Our gues…

With J.D. Vance as Trump’s running mate, the economic populism that’s ascendent in the Republican Party is in the spotlight. To understand this set of policy concerns, there is no better person to speak to than my guest on today’s program, who has been influential in driving this agenda — and in challenging the economic orthodoxy on the right. Oren…

EP 147: 'Why the Left Gets J.D. Vance Wrong' 21:55

10M ago21:55

21:55

J.D. Vance was once a liberal media darling. But in recent weeks, since Donald Trump selected him as his running mate, the Ohio senator has been the subject of almost wall-to-wall negative coverage — in both the liberal press, and on left-leaning social media. But our guest on today’s program says that Vance is a complex figure, and one we should t…
