The Worst Podcast

Hosted by Alan Zweig

Canadaland is launching its first celebrity interview podcast and it’s not great… it’s The Worst Podcast.

Join award-winning filmmaker and noted curmudgeon Alan Zweig for refreshingly honest conversations with “notable people” about the worst things in life.

Alan has no interest in best-selling books or Hollywood triumphs, and doesn’t know (or care) much about his guests. He’s looking for real conversations that dig deep and get to the worst things: nagging fears, embarrassing secrets and haunting regrets. And he’ll no doubt share a few of his own along the way.

Season One launches September 4th.
