About the show

Named one of Apple Podcasts' Best Podcasts of 2025. The stories behind the legal battles that changed Canada — and the unlikely people who made it happen. Some were sh*t distributors, some were convicts, and some were just regular folks dragged into a fight. Each week, host Falen Johnson teams up with a journalist to dig into a case that challenged the status quo, and asks: what kind of person takes on the law? What are the costs? And what would our lives look like if these cases never happened? Because let's be real, just because a case is closed doesn't mean the story is over.
