What does it mean to share a bed with power, whether it’s a corporation or an empire, when every move it makes shakes your world?

If that question keeps you up at night, In Bed with the Elephant is for you.

This is where honest, challenging conversations happen — the kind that make you think, and maybe rethink what you thought you knew.

Each week, veteran journalist and educator Adrian Harewood sits down with bold and brilliant guests at the top of their fields to unpack the forces shaping Canada and the world.

These guests aren’t afraid to name names and challenge consensus. So if you’re curious, critical, and just a little bit done with the status quo, have a listen.

In Bed with the Elephant is produced by Ricochet Media, a non-profit national outlet with a focus on investigative and context-rich journalism.

  • Report from Iran: A Canadian Journalist Speaks w/ Dimitri Lascaris

    Report from Iran: A Canadian Journalist Speaks w/ Dimitri Lascaris
    Apr 14 2026

    Dimitri Lascaris is a lawyer, activist, independent journalist and host of the YouTube Channel “Reason to Resist” He’s the only Canadian-based journalist who has been actively reporting from Iran since war began in February. Lascaris spent 11 days in Iran between March 20- March 31st travelling to 7 cities across a country the size of Western Europe. We spoke to him just after he'd left Iran, from an airport terminal in Cyprus. Dimitri Lascaris.

    Since the United States and Israel launched a war on Iran in late February 2026 over 5,000 Iranians have been killed. Thousands more have been injured. The people of Iran like people everywhere are more than numbers They are human beings with thoughts, feelings, and fears, ordinary folks with hopes, aspirations and dreams. Complex, imperfect, individuals who are mothers, sons, daughters, sisters, fathers and brothers, all with unique stories to tell. What has been the impact of war on the people of Iran. How have they been coping? I’m Adrian Harewood and this is In bed with the Elephant. Journalism matters. Particularly at a time of conflict and war. Having eyes and ears and feet on the ground to listen, to watch, to feel, to bear witness can help us to make better sense of our world. The stories that reporters bring back from the field can provide context, perspective, nuance and depth. They can help us to ask better questions and help us see the humanity of the other.
