What intellectual influencers teach us, one video at a time

A young generation of thinkers is trading in the bread and butter of social media branding — lifestyle, beauty, and consumption — for intellectual content. They focus on the big questions to help followers think about a world where they can't find jobs, are overloaded with debt, and see violence everywhere. It's the kind of education money can't buy. Guests in this episode: Isabella Segalovich (@interstellar_isabellar) Ahmad Sanhouri (@conflictechoes) Louisa Munch (@louisamunchtheory)

The 'shocking betrayal' of widespread antisemitism

Marsha Lederman is a child of Holocaust survivors. She lives with the fear that one day someone will take her and her son like the Nazis did with her parents and their parents. "This is ludicrous," she told herself many times. But then she saw how people celebrated the October 7th attacks and watched how antisemitism showed up in the circles she felt most at home. This spring to mark Holocaust Memorial Day, Lederman and child Holocaust survivor Jeanette Goldman shared their stories on Zoom at the University of Toronto's Regis College — an online event due to security reasons. They spoke about what true solidarity means today as antisemitism continues to rise in Canada. Lederman says: "We cannot allow antisemitism to stop us from speaking about antisemitism of all things." Guests in this episode: Jeanette Goldman is a retired federal judge and a child Holocaust survivor. Marsha Lederman is a journalist, daughter of Holocaust survivors, and author of Kiss the Red Stairs: The Holocaust Once Removed, and October 7th: Finding the Humanitarian Middle. Mary Jo Leddy is a Catholic theologian, author, activist, and founder of Romero House in Toronto. Bertha Yetman is a Regis College Alumnus, and organizer of “Remembering the Holocaust.”

Science fiction isn't fact, no matter what Big Tech tells you

Some of the biggest minds behind AI may have you thinking a Terminator-like robot is coming for us. But literature professor Teresa Heffernan says tech giants have taken their readings of science fiction plots too far, and failed to provide strong evidence for grandiose claims that originated on the pages of science fiction. She argues there are many reasons to fear AI, but an android uprising isn’t one of them. Heffernan is a professor of English language and literature at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax. She delivered the 2026 Wiegand Memorial Foundation Lecture at the Jackman Humanities Institute | University of Toronto.
