FLASHBACK: CBC's David Common on catching scammers and the new Marketplace podcast

This week we're sharing a repeat of one of our favourite episodes from October.

As a foreign correspondent, David Common's reporting has taken him to more than 80 countries, including warzones in Afghanistan, Iraq and Ukraine. 

But these days he's staying a bit closer to home. David has recently taken over hosting duties on CBC Radio's morning show in Toronto, Metro Morning. He's also the co-host of the consumer watchdog show, Marketplace, on CBC Television.

Marketplace now has its very own podcast. This week on the show, David will tell us what it was like turning a TV show into a podcast, plus he'll share some of the podcasts in his rotation.

Like the show Wind of Change: The song "Wind of Change" by The Scorpions was a massive hit at the end of the Cold War. But was it really written by the CIA? We'll hear about the surprising links between the agency and pop culture.

All that and more on this week's episode.

Featuring: Marketplace, The Secret Life of Canada, Wind of Change, War on the Rocks, Yo Is This Racist?
