Arshy Mann and Jordan Cornish are among the Canadian journalists betting on themselves in the current media climate. Best known as the producers behind Canadaland’s COMMONS for the last six years and 13 seasons, Cornish and Mann are striking out on their own with new project, The Hatchet, a weekly podcast and newsletter launched on Substack, dedicated to exposing power and money in Canada.

Arshy Mann joins this episode of Broadcast Dialogue – The Podcast to talk about going independent, his unvarnished thoughts on the state of Canadian media, and choosing to make a graceful exit from Canadaland.
