On this week's episode, host Pedro Chamale is back to guide you through a very informative visit with Mitch Ward, an outreach worker in BC’s interior. We sit down with Byron Cruz as he continues to lay out the situation with SAWP workers, and details some of the harsh personal costs for workers who come to work in Canada. And, of course, we hear more from composer Mishelle Cuttler and lyricist Pedro Chamale about this week's song: Headlines Anthem.

Where does our food come from? Who grows it? Who is nourished by it? Made in Canada: an agricultural podcastgoes in-depth to illustrate the issues surrounding Canada’s migrant workers. We speak with activist, artist and experts on the Seasonal Agricultural Program in Canada and the injustices faced by the folks who ensure that Canadian stores, famers markets and plates have food. Working as a companion podcast to Made in Canada: an agricultural song cycle, we also go behind the mic for the creation of each song on the album week by week.

The podcast is written and narrated by Pedro Chamale, edited and co-produced by Kathleen Flaherty, and produced by Derek Chan and Howard Dai of rice & beans theatre. Made in Canada Song Cycle is possible by the support of The Canada Council for the Arts, The BC Arts Council, The Province of British Columbia, and the City of Vancouver.
