Radio Free Arthur - Episode 2 - Trent's Homecoming Woes and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

This week Sebastian Johnston-Lindsay returns from his sick bed to join fellow Arthur editors, Abbigale Kernya, and Evan Robins to discuss the debauch of last week's Head of the Trent Homecoming weekend here in Peterborough/Nogojiwanong.

They discuss a recent article Abbigale wrote in which she interviewed Indigenous students about Trent's decision to move forward with hosting homecoming festivities on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation which takes place every year on September 30th.

Along the way, the editors dissect the tweets of one Peterborough Police Chief, Stu Betts, who seems oblivious to the reasons why students would appear so respectful when in the presence of a man with a gun in the middle of their party. He also publicly reminisced about parties in gravel pits and wistfully writes that "kids will be kids" while his Officers signed sudents' backs and took selfies.
