We're off this week for Summer holidays - so please enjoy a rerelease of one of our favourite episodes! - An interview with the one, the only, the dynamo Leader of the Green Party of Canada - Elizabeth May.

May dishes the dirt on Poilievre still not getting his security clearance and tells us what Trump can do with his 51st State talk.

This week on Podcast Is Broken, Steve’s off-grid, probably dodging wildfires and responsibilities, so Brittlestar and Lisa are joined by the one and only Amber Mac—tech expert, podcast host, and now… game show contestant? Together, they tackle three confusingly mashed-up headlines in the “Make It Make Sense” game, covering everything from interstellar comets and robo-taxis to a landlord's worst nightmare in PEI.

They debate whether 16-year-olds should vote (spoiler: probably), if robot cars will steal your job (spoiler: definitely), and why the Canadian government is picking a weird fight with TikTok while still cozying up to Elon’s rage platform. Also, Brittlestar nearly has an existential crisis about going down a mine shaft.

Bonus: The episode ends with possibly the finest improvised theme song ever recorded using a piece of paper, pens, and a phone dial pad. Belizeans, we see you.

This week on Podcast Is Broken, things start weird and spiral from there. We talk cat-print suits, heatstroke-induced hallucinations, and how Belize has (somehow?) made us the #2 podcast in the nation. Steve and Lisa go head-to-head in Make It Make Sense, decoding Frankenstein headlines like “Orcas Threaten Rogers Stadium During Chocolate Recall as AI Chatbot Praises Hitler” — yes, that’s real. Plus: duct tape armour, haunted stadiums, Guelph’s empty hotels, mini-fridge warfare, and the ethics of octopus farming.

Also, we debate the correct plural of “octopus,” because of course we do.

Subscribe, rate, and maybe send a sympathy mimosa to whoever sat next to us on this mental rollercoaster.
