The Canadian Education Programme for Foreign Podcasters 6: Raccoons on Ice w/ Jamie Loftus (Patreon)

Our good friend and most-appearing guest ever, Jamie Loftus (Aack Cast, Bechdel Cast) joins us for a look at beloved Canadian animated special, "Raccoons On Ice", a pro-environmentalist cartoon about a cute bunch of raccoons and a grimy bunch of aardvarks. The episode centres around a big hockey game and with Jamie's dad being a long-time hockey writer, we find some common ground as we learn about Jamie's history with the Boston Bruins and her current love of Zambonis. Plus, we talk the bizarre characterization of Sophia Tutu, why the humans in this cartoon seem to be completely at the behest of the animals, and how two pretty famous singer-songwriters came to be involved with what feels like a such a niche project. And finally, John steps up to the plate to run "Real or Fake" for the first time and Jamie takes the Canadian Quiz.
