• Introducing Murder on the Island: The Lindsay Buziak Story
    Jan 24 2023

    In 2008, a young real estate agent named Lindsay Buziak was murdered inside a vacant, $1-million home in Victoria, British Columbia on Vancouver Island. Lindsay’s murder shook the community—and made international news.  But with few new details coming to light, investigators eventually hit a wall.

    In 2019, Capital Daily, a local news and investigative journalism outlet, embarked on a quest for new information about the unsolved murder that continues to haunt the community, Lindsay’s many friends, and her family. The intent was to separate fact from fiction. Now, people who had sworn off doing another interview are re-breaking their silence. And people who were close with Lindsay are giving extended interviews for the first time.

    With this new podcast series, Capital Daily is finally ready to reveal its reporting, with new details from people who were there. With unexpected twists and turns. And with a glimmer of hope. Fifteen years after Lindsay’s murder, a new story is ready to be told by investigative journalist Zander Sherman and Capital Daily.

  • The Last Lightkeepers of Vancouver Island
    Feb 22 2022

    Nearly three centuries after they first sprang up on Canada’s coastline, just 51 staffed lighthouses remain in the country – survivors of repeated attempts at automation. Perhaps nowhere in Canada are they quite so abundant as Vancouver Island, where towers dot the Strait of Georgia and the fog-laden Pacific Coast. We speak with lightkeepers Justine Etzkorn and Karen Zacharuk about a life lived “on the lights.” 

    Today's episode is sponsored by The Modern Mercantile and the Capital Daily Speaker Series with Dr. Andrew Huberman.
