The Hoser Presents: Short Circuit
Short Circuit is the first podcast from The Hoser, a new independent digital media outlet in the Greater Toronto Area.

Short Circuit will have weekly guests speaking from their vantage point and expertise on these issues, both from an organizing and research perspective as well as experiential knowledge.
