#99pi

Glad to see a Canadian specific episode on 99% invisible podcast

But not a single word about Quebec or French language when you speak of CanCon and CRTC.

Spotify playlist for the episode.. 126 songs.. 2 in French.

Nothing more Canadian than seeing Francophone culture ignored I guess. Which is insane considering what Quebec brought on the musical front.
