10 The Village Returns Transgender women know what it means to be marginalized, overpoliced, and underprotected, and the violence that results. A community of sex workers, in particular, is too often criminalized and vulnerable. Host Justin Ling returns to explore the stories of two women — Alloura Wells and Cassandra Do — whose deaths remain unexplained. Following the award-winning first season of THE VILLAGE, which delves into cases of missing and murdered men in Toronto's gay community dating back to the 1970s, season two reveals new details about these womens' lives, the systems that failed them, and a police investigation gone wrong. We ask the question: When it comes to protecting the queer community, have we learned nothing? Justin Ling

12 A Death in Cryptoland When the young CEO of Canada’s largest cryptocurrency exchange is reported to have died while honeymooning in India, it sets off a cataclysmic chain of events that would leave about 76,000 people out of a quarter of a billion dollars and a trail of conspiracy theories around whether Gerald Cotten is dead or alive. A Death in Cryptoland is an original podcast series about a crypto-tycoon, his secret past, his sudden demise, and an online sleuth’s obsession to unravel the truth behind QuadrigaCX. Takara Small

14 Boys Like Me In 2018, a Toronto man drove a van down a busy sidewalk, killing 11 people and injuring many more. He was linked to the "incel" movement, a dark online world fueled by violent misogyny, extreme isolation and perceived rejection.

In the wake of the attack, Evan Mead discovers a disturbing connection to the perpetrator. They were former high school classmates; both outcasts, existing together on the fringes of social acceptance.

How did two young men who started in similar circumstances, end up on such drastically different paths?

A five-part investigative series that examines how socially-isolated young men can vanish into an online world of nihilism and despair that radicalizes them into angry — potentially deadly — misogynists.

15 The Village 3 For eight years, Toronto's Gay Village worried a serial killer was operating in its midst. Men had been disappearing from the neighbourhood, but police insisted there was no evidence of foul play. It wasn't until January, 2018, that police finally arrested Bruce McArthur for the murders of eight men. This case has now set off a chain reaction: Police are now re-opening more than a two dozen cold case murders from the Village, dating back to 1975. To a time when it was safer to stay in the closet than come out. Journalist Justin Ling covered the story, from the disappearances to the arrest, and now he's going back to shed a light on these long-forgotten unsolved murders. Justin Ling
16 Kuper Island An 8-part series that tells the stories of four students: three who survived and one who didn’t. They attended one of Canada’s most notorious residential schools – where unsolved deaths, abuse, and lies haunt the community and the survivors to this day. Duncan McCue
