Kristi Lee gives an honest and transparent update about why Part 2 of the Hockey Canada trial is taking longer than expected.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding as we take the time to cover this case with the care and thoroughness it deserves.

In the meantime:

Read JB's Op-Ed in the Globe and Mail, and on our website: "When aggressive tactics are praised as legal strategy, it’s survivors like me who pay the price."

A two-part series — Two extraordinary guests join Kristi to take you through one of the biggest scandals in Canadian sports history. They know what it means to survive not only sexual assault - but the trial itself. And you probably know their stories:

• J.B. - aka the "Ottawa woman" who testified against former Canadian musician Jacob Hoggard
• Kelly Favro - survivor and advocate from British Columbia who helped re-write Canada's publication ban laws.

As the country reacts to the Hockey Canada trial verdicts delivered last week, J.B. and Kelly share what they saw unfolding, how it mirrors their own experiences, and what the public needs to understand about what victim-complainant “E.M.” may be living through. They also share eye-opening details about shocking courtroom tactics they've endured, and challenge us to rethink what justice really means.

Content Warning: While not the focus of this episode, there is mention of graphic details of sexual acts, and suicidal thoughts. Please take care when listening.

*This is the final episode before our summer slowdown - thanks so much for listening!

-----------------

ONTARIO - It started with a shocking message in a private chat: “I’ve just slaughtered my entire family.” What was first thought of as a grim joke soon became a frantic race to uncover the truth… and prevent a real-life horror from getting worse.

The intention of this episode is to take a look back at a shocking crime, how it impacted the community, and how it might have been prevented. Some names have been changed to respect the privacy of those involved.

We want to know what you thought about this season!
