Border Crossings - Dave Crosses the Border

About this episode

This episode explores the relationship between Canada and the U.S. through a story and an essay about crossing the border.

“That afternoon, in his first true act of citizenship, Dave wore five lacy bras across the border.” This week is all about the relationship between Canada and the U.S. We’ve got a Dave & Morley story about crossing the border, plus Stuart’s essay from the Haskell Free Library and Opera house, that straddles the Canada U.S. border. An essay that has particular poignance today. Ad-free listening is here!
