Safe Space

Buzzfeed's Scaachi Koul and freelance writer Navneet Alang join Safe Space this week to talk about the the role of Beyoncé in the NDP leadership race, the evolution of Girl Guiding and the need to sink the Rebel dot media. 

Editor and culture writer Amil Niazi (VICE) and freelance writer Kyrell Grant join Safe Space hosts Vicky Mochama (Metro News) and Ishmael Daro (Buzzfeed Canada) this week to talk about libertarian memes, the women's strike on International Women's Day, Katy Perry's newfound wokeness and being called out by the Beyhive.

This week on Safe Space, Chatelaine senior writer Sarah Boesveld and freelance journalist Desmond Cole join Vicky and Ishmael to talk about the Conservative Party leadership race, get frustrated Canada’s hypocrisy on race, and laugh about what happened at the Oscars. Vicky starts beyond frustrated by the ruling on a sexual assault case out of Halifax. She ends pretty vexed at the pen manufacturing industry because we are all complicated people with rich inner lives. After his opinion in the preview episode that all dogs are boys, Ishmael delves into the gender of the world’s most famous lasagna-eating cat. Boldest of all, Sarah thinks Donald Trump is good for feminism.

Welcome to Safe Space! For the first episode, Ishmael and Vicky share their worst takes on animals, the voting age and male feminists. This preview episode includes Queen's Park Today's Alison Smith and Nick Zarzycki of the Syrup Trap and Gawken.
