Major news for fans of Who Shat on the Floor at My Wedding? – the “poo dunnit” that rocketed to the top of last year’s podcast charts, and featured in our best pods of 2023. The amateur sleuths behind the series have just announced another, this time taking on a completely new mystery about a tiny blue corduroy suit, a tiny suitcase and a tiny man. More on that next week – but you can listen to the hilarious trailer here in the meantime.
If slightly ridiculous but utterly gripping true crime is what you’re after, though, this week’s top pick ticks all the right boxes. In CBC’s Broomgate, comedian and curler John Cullen investigates the “super broom” scandal that rocked Canada’s curling world in 2015.
