About this listen
A new musical by the legendary Cree playwright Tomson Highway is on stage in Ottawa. Theatre critic Aisling Murphy and Alessia Passafiume with the Canadian Press, join Elamin Abdelmahmoud to talk about Rose -- and why a production that was written almost 35 years ago, feels more relevant than ever today.
Plus, the Goo Goo Dolls song 'Iris' was released 28 years ago. But it has enjoyed a massive resurgence in 2026 thanks to these viral 90's nostalgia reels where people share old pictures of themselves on social media. Music journalist Annie Zaleski explains how a grubby punk band from Buffalo wound up crafting one of the definitive power ballads of our time, and what its current popularity says about how we view the ‘90s.
