On episode 30 of the 49th Parahell podcast host Rob Rousseau is depressed after watching Donald Trump’s rambling speech about his pretend national emergency.

Then, things start to look up when Dan Boeckner of legendary Montreal indie rock band Wolf Parade joins the show from Nanaimo to talk about his songwriting approach, Muslim-American congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s remarkable 48 hrs in the American political spotlight, and why no one in this country seems to care about Canadian financing of far-right nationalist organizations in the Ukraine.
