Welcome back to Inside the Village, a one-of-a-kind podcast where all news is local — and no topic is off-limits.
On the latest episode: Beware of coyotes!
If recent headlines are any indication, it sure seems like wild dogs are taking over the neighbourhood. Whether it’s a city council reacting to a spate of coyote attacks — or a terrified jogger being followed by one — coyotes are triggering plenty of stress across Ontario.
Joining us for some much-needed perspective (and a few helpful safety tips) is Lesley Sampson, co-founder of the not-for-profit organization Coyote Watch Canada.
Spoiler alert: If you insist on feeding coyotes, you're part of the problem.
Launched in April, Inside the Village is a news and current affairs podcast that provides a weekly window into some of the best local journalism from across Village Media's chain of Ontario newsrooms. The program also explores bigger-picture issues that impact people across the province.
Every episode is available on this news site /insidethevillage. If you prefer the audio version, it is available wherever you find your favourite podcasts.
