The Current for Aug. 2, 2022
Today on The Current:
Bruce Springsteen fans are facing exorbitant, fluctuating prices for his new tour — all thanks to a system known as dynamic pricing. Guest host Peter Armstrong discusses how it works and how to protect consumers with Bonnie Stiernberg, the managing editor at Inside Hook; and lawyer Sam Weinstein, an associate professor of law at Yeshiva University.
Then, Myanmar's military regime has executed four pro-democracy activists, and dozens more could face a similar fate. We discuss the executions and calls for the international community to act with Shoon Naing, a senior correspondent for Reuters Myanmar; and Damien Kingsbury, emeritus professor at the Deakin University in Australia.
And we hear the final episode of CBC podcast Welcome to Paradise, in which Anna Maria Tremonti breaks a decades-long silence about her experience with intimate partner violence. Read more about our summer podcast series here.
