THE PODCAST
EPISODE 227: JULIE PONESSE - HOW THE COVID REGIME STOLE OUR INNOCENCE
We were right all along! So what do we do now as the Covid narrative believers start trickling out the unavoidable evidence of their malfeasance? The Astra Zeneca vaccine has been pulled worldwide, and Chris Cuomo - a spreader of fear and dangerous propaganda, is trying to take it all back. Julie Ponesse, one of the most eloquent C-19 dissenters, joins Trish to discuss her new book, and offer her thoughts on coping with our lingering pain.
EPISODE 226: TAMARA LICH AND CHRIS BARBER - TOGETHER AGAIN
For the first time since their arrests more than two years ago, Tamara and Chris have been cleared by a judge to see each other outside of a courtroom and without lawyers present. In their first interview since that ruling, we thought we’d sit down in the spirit of our old ‘Coffee with the Convoy’ livestreams that began before they even made it to Ottawa. We found them having a few beers and celebrating this small victory. The mood was hopeful and infused with fellowship and good will. Are there great days ahead?
EPISODE 225: TRUTH OVER TRIBE SPECIAL
The freedom movement is being torn apart over issues of free speech and the right of citizens to protest. Trish does a deep dive into what is driving the conflict. In a heartfelt episode, she unpacks the negative response to her latest Substack, which encourages people to support the rights of others — even if they don’t agree with the cause. It is an explosive time and Trish fears that if we get separated now over issues of who deserves freedom then we are sunk.
EPISODE 224: VIVA FREI ON TIK TOK CENSORSHIP, AND TRUMP
The mighty Viva Frei pops by to talk about the 100 billion dollar legislation that rescues Ukraine and Israel and enables more censorship moves in the wake of the uniparty’s Tik Tok victory. Viva shares the podcasting load with Trish, still recovering. Also, they recite the serenity prayer - a helper through these difficult times.
EPISODE 223: PROTEST AND PRISON
Canada slides into a dark epoch as a jury verdict in three of the Coutts blockade cases portends jail time and an uncertain future for civil disobedience. Marco Van Huigenbos, who protested harmful C-19 policies, was convicted this week and tells Trish that he is prepared to do his time.
Please forgive any minor technical issues you might notice. With Trish still recovering from her injury, things aren’t quite back to 100 percent just yet.
EPISODE 222: DR. FRANCIS CHRISTIAN - IS GOD OUR BEST WEAPON RIGHT NOW?
The heartbreak of the Covidian era is leading to a spiritual renewal and even Joe Rogan is praising Jesus. On this Good Friday, Trish speaks to Dr. Francis Christian — dissident surgeon who paid a high price for warning about about the Covid vaccine for children. He tells us about his devout faith and his recognition of evil in the world. Stay until the end for a special treat.
EPISODE 221: CRITICAL EXTRA - BRIDGE COLLAPSE DETAILS WITH A NAVY SEAL AND THE HUBERMAN SMEAR
The world woke up to a terrifying video of a bridge collapsing and people and cars falling into the dark, freezing water, near Baltimore. A former Navy skipper and trained SEAL answers our questions about how it happened and the likely fate of the people on the bridge. What will happen to the captain? And what went wrong? And then Trish on the Andrew Huberman hit piece and how as a woman and journo its a story she wouldn’t have commissioned.
EPISODE 220: MARTIN KULLDORFF LEAVES HARVARD
Our guest Martin Kulldorff on the end of his Harvard career, the price of truth, and how he is moving forward in his new life. And just as Trish was celebrating Candace Owens' courage on Gaza, Owens is fired from The Daily Wire by Ben Shapiro. Plus a new film further debunks dangerous atrocity propaganda, and we brace for the blowback.
EPISODE 219: PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU’S BROTHER - KYLE KEMPER
Trish has an intimate conversation with the brother of one of the most unpopular prime ministers in history. Kyle Kemper is the younger sibling of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and he couldn’t be more different. He thinks Trudeau was wrong about just about everything from vaccine mandates to his crushing of the trucker convoy. Kemper's take on his bother’s personality is riveting.
EPISODE 218: MIDWEEK EXTRA - ROYAL FAMILY MYSTERY
Trish and her friend, journalist Jacquie Bynon unpack the Princess of Wales mystery. They think they’ve uncovered the truth and have determined the proof of life photo is a pastiche — a fake pulled together with old photos. What the hell is going on?
EPISODE 217: MIA HUGHES AND HER EXPLOSIVE REPORTING ON TRANS MEDICINE
The body that advises world governments and clinics on trans medicine has been accused of malpractice in a blistering report by Canadian journalist Mia Hughes. With internal documents and shocking text messages — the inner workings of W-PATH have been revealed. It's a report that could change the trans debate forever. Trish speaks to Mia about the W-PATH files.
EPISODE 216: FREE SPEECH IS DYING IN CANADA
John Carpay of the Justice Centre of Constitutional Freedoms calls the Online Harms Act the worst assault on free speech in modern Canadian history. And Trish agrees. In this Trish Wood is Critical extra — the two of them take the bill apart.
EPISODE 215: IRAQ WAR VETERAN GARRET REPPENHAGEN
Trying to be heard above the torrent of propaganda and outright lies - a young active duty airman douses himself in gasoline, and while he burns to death in front the Israeli embassy in Washington DC - shouts "free Palestine" until he is overcome. Aaron Bushnell was committing an act of conscience widely hailed as noble in past conflicts — but he is being smeared by supporters of Israel and American foreign policy. Trish interviews an Iraq War veteran about the importance of respecting this kind of statement from service members. Also - Trish eviscerates the so-called Online Harms Bill that has shocked observers far and wide.
EPISODE 214: TIME FOR A CRITICAL REVIEW
The technical team is off this week and Trish is exploring the podcast's future. What better ways are there to serve listeners in an expanding and complex indy media environment. How do we turn off the noise but gain knowledge and information that will help guide us through increasingly difficult post-Covid times? Legacy media's failure means all of us on the indy side must up our game. Trish is pondering these questions and wants to hear from you at info@trishwoodpodcast.com. See you back here and on Substack.
EPISODE 213: SHAUN RICKARD & KARL HARRISON - MANDATES AND THE EMERGENCIES ACT
This is a sad week as we remember the invocation of the Emergencies Act. Trish looks back on some of the Prime Minister’s controversial statements that divided the country and brought about a crisis. Special guests are Karl Harrison and Shaun Rickard — two brave men who fought the travel mandates in one of the most interesting stories to come out of Covidian times. Their suit exposed that travel mandates weren’t based on science, and that if motivated we can all fight back.
EPISODE 212: SMARTPHONES ARE THE WEAPON - SIMON ELMER
Many people are addicted to their cellphones. It is a digital hypodermic needle of dopamine that keeps us tethered to it — ignoring our families, friends and neighbors as we walk, outsourcing our sense of direction and memory to this little hard-drive that has taken over for much of our daily cognition. We are losing our ability to reason and think, and so we are being controlled. Simon Elmer is a brilliant essayist and researcher, and he thinks this was the plan all along. Pus Coutts 4 is now Coutts 2, Tucker in Russia, and Trish’s new musical obsession.
EPISODE 211: NOW IT’S THE ‘COUTTS TWO’ - MOCHA BEZIRGAN
Now out of custody for the first time in two years, Jerry Morin and Chris Lysak have gone home. They’ve both agreed to a plea deal involving gun crimes with the more serious charge of conspiracy to murder RCMP officers withdrawn — begging the question — what was the Crown's actual case? The men, plus two others, had been held in custody for two years without bail, but recent momentum from the Mosley decision and advocacy from Tucker Carlson may have helped ease their way home. It is unclear if any deals are being offered to Chris Carbert and Anthony Olienick. The only accredited journalist actually in the courtroom was Mocha Bezirgan.
EPISODE 210: ANN BAUER - FAMILIES ARE NOT ALRIGHT
A new fad is sweeping North America — adult children refusing any contact with their parents — many of them because they are now “living their truth”. One in four families are estranged in significant ways that feel like a kind of sad ghosting.
EPISODE 209: CJ HOPKINS - FREEDOM WINS
An epic week of wins, for the truckers and free-speech lovers everywhere and beloved playwright and satirist CJ Hopkins was acquitted by a German court for thought crimes that could have sent him to jail.
EPISODE 208: JOHN CARPAY AND VINCENT GIRCYS - TRUCKER COURT VICTORY
Justice Mosley ruled that the Emergencies Act, declared by Prime Minister Trudeau, was illegal. After years of feeling that all institutions had failed, finally there is a recognition that the Freedom Convoy was not the heinous enterprise described by the prime minister and portrayed in the media.
