S1E2 – Bagged Milk

It’s the second, long-delayed episode of the Field Guide to Canadiana. This one is about bagged milk with a mostly irrelevant aside on the Canadian dairy industry, so I hope you’re ready for a solid half-hour of milk facts, bad polling methodology and at least one ghastly pun. Don’t skim this one! You’ll want to listen to it whole!

The Field Guide to Canadiana

Two hosers, Derek and Matt, pick a Canadian cultural niche and run through its history and impact on the national and world stages, with some personal reflections, to try to determine what it means to be Canadian.
