    Montréal 1976 : quand le Québec a accueilli le monde

    Le sujet des Jeux olympiques de Montréal de 1976 évoque souvent le fameux gouffre financier ou le célèbre toit du Stade olympique… ou plutôt son absence. Pourtant, il y a énormément de choses à célébrer dans ces Jeux. Certains des plus grands athlètes de l’histoire ont brillé sur la scène internationale, dont Nadia Comăneci, Bruce Jenner, Sugar Ray Leonard et bien d’autres. Cinquante ans plus tard, Voyages dans l’histoire canadienne revient sur les premiers Jeux olympiques accueillis par le Canada et explore comment cet événement a contribué à façonner les décennies suivantes à Montréal et dans le reste du Québec. Notre animatrice, Ariane-Li Simard-Côté, s'entretient avec Hélène Boivin, une athlète québécoise qui n’avait que 17 ans lorsqu’elle a participé aux Jeux de Montréal. On vous invite à voyager avec elle dans ses souvenirs de cette grande aventure olympique. Ensuite, Pierre Gince, auteur du livre « Les Jeux olympiques de Montréal et nous : 50 ans, 50 regards », revient sur les grands moments des Jeux : les scandales, les réussites, leur héritage durable et, bien sûr, l’incroyable performance de Nadia Comăneci.

But there's much more to celebrate about these Games. Some of the greatest athletes in history shone on the world stage, including Nadia Comăneci, Bruce Jenner, Sugar Ray Leonard, and many others. Fifty years later, Canadian Time Machine revisits the first Olympic Games ever held in Canada and explores how this landmark event helped shape the decades that followed in Montreal and across Quebec. Host Ariane-Li Simard-Côté speaks with Hélène Boivin, a Quebec athlete who was just 17 years old when she competed at the Montreal Games. She takes us back through her memories of that extraordinary Olympic experience. Then, Pierre Gince, author of The Montreal Olympics and Us: 50 Years, 50 Perspectives, reflects on the defining moments of the Games—from the controversies and triumphs to their lasting legacy and, of course, Nadia Comăneci's unforgettable performance.

    S3 Ep 4 – The crack is where the light gets in – The Very Reverend John Witcombe – Coventry Cathedral

    On the night of 14 November 1940, nearly 500 Luftwaffe bombers descended on Coventry. Over the next 11 hours, they dropped more than 500 tonnes of high explosives and around 30,000 incendiary bombs on the city. By morning, 568 people had been killed, around 850 seriously injured and 43,000 homes damaged or destroyed. At the centre of it all, the medieval Cathedral of St Michael had been reduced to a roofless shell. Rather than clear the ruins away, Coventry left them standing. Alongside them, Sir Basil Spence created an extraordinary new modernist cathedral. Together, the two buildings have become internationally recognised symbols of hope and reconciliation. Tim and Kevin visit Coventry to meet the Very Reverend John Witcombe, who has just concluded a 13-year tenure as Dean of Coventry Cathedral. During his time, John removed the admission charge and reconnected the cathedral with the arts, welcoming musicians including The Specials, John Grant, Beth Hart and The Libertines to perform across the cathedral precinct. What begins as a conversation about architecture slowly unfolds into something deeper. This is a conversation we all need right now.

    Sam Smith is delighted by our lobster rolls with lemon & dill

    They’ve got lobster on their mind!  Sam Smith is a BRIT Award, Grammy, Golden Globe and Oscar-winning singer and songwriter. They join us ahead of the release of their new album, Hazel Eyes, which is released on 21 August and features their new single, My Guy. But first, it’s time for the long-awaited debut of lobster on Dish, the perfect star ingredient for a guest who once had aspirations to be a fishmonger, and also ideal to help Angela through a small hangover.  Sam lives in New York with their partner Christian, and tells us about the impact the move has had on their tastebuds and their capacity to handle heat. They’ve also recently started a food blog on Instagram, SamServed, where you can get a glimpse of their favourite dishes including fish and chips, peanut butter and chicken wings. Another favourite is turnip cake, which tastes so good, Sam had it tattooed on their body.   We start with caviar on crisps and ice cold Waitrose Blanc de Noirs Champagne, before Angela serves up lobster rolls with lemon & dill. The Waitrose wine experts paired this meal with a bottle of Famille Brocard Organic Chablis 2025 Burgundy.  Sam loves food (even more than music) and tells us about the addictive joys of touring, where they can combine both passions.

    This is Your Brain on Hormones

    After reading something that said her menstrual cycle changes her brain each month, Senior Correspondent Molly Webster goes on a reporting mission to see if that’s true, and, if so, how. This journey into sex hormones and the brain involves females and males, and exacting self-experimentation. It gets into PTSD, and ends with a new twist on self-care (hint: it’s biological). And, it starts to reveal a sneaky truth: that each one of us is at the mercy of a crashing sea of chemicals inside of us – those things we call hormones. Special thanks to Emily Jacobs, Laura Pritschet, Pavel Shapturenka, and Dr. Catherine Woolley.EPISODE CREDITS: Hosted by - Molly Webster Reported by - Molly Webster Produced by - Mona Madgavkar with help from - Molly Webster Fact-checking by - Diane A.
