About this episode

Bella Ramsey is weighing in on the debate over gendered categories at awards shows – arguing women need their own category, separate from men. But the Last of Us star, who identifies as non-binary, says there’s still a lot of work required to figure out how to make actors like them feel valued and comfortable, if they don’t neatly fit in a gender-specific category. Mel Woods joins guest host Ali Hassan. Plus, with the return and rebrand of Maple Leaf Pro Wresting in Toronto this Saturday, guest host Ali Hassan is joined by wrestling fan and culture critic Sarah Kurchak for a brief look back on the history of the Maple Leaf wrestling brand and what its return might signal for the future of wrestling in Canada.
