The Copernic Affair is Canadaland’s latest big investigation about how an unassuming sociology professor in Ottawa ended up the prime suspect in a terrorism investigation that French authorities have been trying to solve since the 1980s.
Is he a terrorist? Or a scapegoat?
The Copernic Affair launches in late-January, but you can listen to the first two episodes right now and the rest of it, each week, starting today.

Canadaland has launched its first ever celebrity interview podcast and it’s not great. It’s The Worst Podcast.
Celebrities are always talking about their bests. Now hear them at their worst.
Join award-winning filmmaker and noted curmudgeon Alan Zweig for refreshingly honest conversations with “notable people” about the worst things in life.
Alan has no interest in best-selling books or Hollywood triumphs, and doesn’t know (or care) much about his guests.
He’s looking for real conversations that dig deep and get to the worst things: nagging fears, embarrassing secrets and haunting regrets. And he’ll no doubt share a few of his own along the way.
Listen to The Worst Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

It has been ten months since the arrival of the Taliban. Marwa takes the steps to settle in Germany and takes a step back from her country, its traditions and its history. It is the first time she has been in Europe, and everything in Germany surprises her.
In Afghanistan, the Taliban impose full veils on women. Raha is more and more desperate, and plots her escape.

Marwa arrives in Germany and everything surprises her. Raha sends the terrifying sounds of the end of Ramadan. She is increasingly cooped up and angry in Kabul, but she manages to send gifts from there.
It always gets harder to talk to Raha. Caroline Gillet doesn't know if it's because of the power cuts, or if Raha can no longer find how to say what she's going through.
The end of Ramadan is determined by the stars and in Afghanistan, we observe the decision of the Emirates to announce the start of Eid - El - Fitr. The three-day festival marks the end of the fast. Raha tells Caroline that she slowly starts cleaning the house as tradition dictates at the end of Ramadan and then, one evening, she sends chilling voice messages.
