Due to a last-minute cancellation, this week’s show features the news, Lauren’s brief synopsis of a new course she’s teaching at York University, and a short call-in session in which listeners weigh in on Australian “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin.

If you would like to contribute to the debate, please post your comments below.
