The Spin Nation Podcast
We look at the data behind the spin to reveal the forces shaping Canadian perspectives.
Behind every trending conversation, political, social, cultural, and economic groups are vying for attention, shaping what we see, hear, and believe.
We break it all down—the people, the strategies, and the numbers behind the spin. If you want to understand how the story is being shaped, this is your podcast.
The Spin Nation Podcast is hosted by Laurel Ostfield and Emmanuel Caisse - Two Canadian news and political junkies who are also the founders of 996 Advisors.

The Declining Influence of Big NGOs
The influence of big international NGOs is declining, and in this episode, we explore how they are losing ground to social media influencers, and podcasters. We analyze how these emerging voices resonate with audiences and shift perceptions on crucial policy decisions, including ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). With insights drawn from data provided by Sigwatch and 996 Advisors, we reveal the shifts in advocacy campaigns and discuss the critical need for corporates and governments to rethink their stakeholder engagement strategies. Failure to adapt could lead to increased scrutiny and exposure in this rapidly evolving landscape.
