EPIC Podcast presents a very special commemorative episode remembering the Halifax disaster of 100 years ago, and asking the sometimes worrying question: What, if anything, have we learned?
We are very proud to feature interviews from Dan Bedell from the Canadian Red Cross, Barry Manuel who is the Emergency Management Coordinator for Halifax Regional Municipality, Dale Bodnarchuk our explosives expert, and prominent Halifax historian David Sutherland.
We also count ourselves very lucky to be able to feature, with permission, music from Natalie MacMaster's album 'Cape Breton Girl', as well as a very Canadian work commemorating the Halifax Explosion:
