The Current for Aug. 5, 2020
Today on The Current:
We talk to eyewitnesses of the enormous explosion in Beirut, which has killed dozens and injured thousands, and hear what can be done to help victims, as well as calls to bring about systemic change.
Queer spaces across Canada have shut down under the stress of COVID-19, and in some smaller cities that leaves the communities they serve with nowhere else to connect. We discuss the importance of these spaces, and what needs to be done to protect them.
And all summer long The Current is airing some of the most critically-acclaimed CBC podcasts. We continue today with episode three of Unlocking Bryson's Brain, about a family's journey to understand their son's rare condition, and the search for the miracle key that might mean a cure.
