About the show

Thunder Bay has been named an Apple Podcasts Series Essential. When Indigenous teens start turning up dead under suspicious circumstances, host Ryan McMahon sets out to uncover the truth. What he finds is a city steeped in racism, corruption and neglect — a city with the highest homicide and hate crime rates in the country. Why does it all happen here? Thunder Bay originally ran in the fall of 2018, followed by Return to Thunder Bay (2020) and Thunder Bay: Post-Mortem (2023). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
