The Big Story's First Year

It sounds easy. Produce a compelling 15 to 20 minute piece of
audio every day about a Canadian news story. And then you find
out it isn't easy. For the last year, Jordan Heath-Rawlings has
been doing just that with Frequency Network's flagship podcast,
The Big Story. Mildly modelled after the NY Times' podcast, The
Daily, the Big Story has shone the spotlight on Canadian stories
ranging from the rat and transit problems in Toronto, to Canada's
legalization of pot, and the inane plebiscite on keeping
Winnipeg's Portage and Main. (Full Disclosure - I was the guest
on that episode which you can listen to here)


In this episode, you'll find out how the show came together, what
decisions get made, and the forward planning that goes into each
episode.


Special thanks to Claire Brassard at the Frequency Network for
