The Jann Arden Podcast

Before “Insensitive” and “Good Mother,” there was “I Would Die For You.” In this episode of Behind the Song, Jann Arden revisits one of the songs that helped launch her career. Originally released on her 1993 debut album Time for Mercy, the song became a fan favourite and more than three decades later, Jann reflects on the emotion behind the music, being a hopeless romantic from a young age, while reflecting on a time when she was living in a basement apartment trying to get by one gig at a time. She also touches on the significance of music videos in shaping her identity as an artist. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What happens when the world's most powerful people stop trying to save the planet and start planning their escape? Award-winning author and journalist Naomi Klein returns to The Jann Arden Podcast to discuss her new book, End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World, co-written with Astra Taylor, and why the growing influence of tech billionaires, artificial intelligence and extreme wealth should concern us all. Jann, Caitlin and Sarah explore the politics of fear, the promises and dangers of AI, billionaire bunker culture, and whether Canada's "elbows up" movement can become something bigger than a consumer boycott. Naomi also shares why she refuses to use AI, why she believes extreme wealth has distorted our understanding of power, and what it will take to hold the world's most influential people accountable. BUT...this isn't a conversation without hope. From political movements challenging the status quo to the power of women organizing and the importance of protecting the natural world, Naomi reminds us that there's still plenty worth fighting for. Plus, End Times Fascism has been our latest selection for Jann Arden's Book Bag, our official podcast book club. NAOMI KLEIN is an award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker, and the bestselling author of Doppelganger, No Logo, The Shock Doctrine, and other classic books, which have been translated into thirty-five languages.

Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault, drug-facilitated sexual violence, and victim blaming. Listener discretion is advised. What happens when the justice system fails women, and why are we still asking victims to defend themselves instead of demanding accountability from men? Jann Arden, Caitlin Green and Sarah Burke are joined by Icelandic author, activist and Jann's wife, Thordis Elva, for an urgent conversation sparked by the Cornell Seven case, in which a former Cornell University student has accused seven fraternity members of sexual assault. Together, they examine masculinity, male entitlement, the consequences of silence, and the uncomfortable question of whether public shaming has become a necessary tool when traditional systems of justice fall short. Thordis challenges the narrow definition of masculinity that discourages vulnerability while rewarding dominance, and explains why men need to take responsibility for confronting harmful behaviour among their peers. The conversation also explores the growing #IAmJaneDoe movement, a powerful demonstration of solidarity with a woman whose identity has been threatened with public exposure. It's a reminder that collective action can create change, and that sexual violence is not simply a women's issue.

The accused have denied wrongdoing, and no criminal convictions have been established in connection with the allegations discussed. #ASKJANN - tell us what song you want to hear about next!
