TORONTO — Corus Entertainment’s podcast network Curiouscast today announced the launch of its new investigative podcast 13 Hours: Inside the Nova Scotia Massacre.
In this 13-part series, Global Halifax reporter Sarah Ritchie and Global Toronto producer Alex Kress take listeners on a journey inside every hour of Canada’s deadliest shooting spree in modern history as it happened.
The first two episodes of 13 Hours: Inside the Nova Scotia Massacre are available now on all major podcast platforms, with new episodes to be released bi-weekly.
“This tragedy has had such a deep impact on so many people in Nova Scotia, and across the country. For Nova Scotians in particular, I think it’s shaken the core of our identity in a way,” said host Ritchie, in a press release. “With so many outstanding questions, we worked hard to get answers. We hope listeners come away with a better understanding of what happened that terrible weekend — but most of all we hope they get to know the people who were lost, and the lives they lived.”
“We decided to embark on this difficult task of relaying such a heavy and complex story through an investigative podcast series. It was important to us to give the story the time it deserves, so we could tell it to the fullest degree,” added producer Kress. “Our driving force throughout the process has always been the victims and their loved ones. We’re going back to the beginning, guiding listeners through the tragedy over 13 episodes so that we can try to absorb how this happened, hour by hour.”
