This week on What Happened Next, host Nathan Whitlock is joined by novelist, journalist, and educator Timothy Taylor. His most recent book is the novel The Rise and Fall of Magic Wolf, published by Dundurn Press in 2024. Timothy talks to Nathan about starting his writing career with a triple nomination for the Journey Prize (which he ended up winning); about not wanting to be pigeonholed as someone who always writes about restaurants and food, the subject of his most recent novel; and about the discovery of family secrets that have led to a massive podcast project with The Walrus and an upcoming book.

Food insecurity among Inuit in Canada has been called one of the longest-lasting public health emergencies in Canadian history. It’s a crisis rooted in colonial policy—and one that continues to shape who has access to food, income, and self-determination in Nunavut. Rachel Blais—former executive director of Qajuqturvik Community Food Centre—explains why the right to culturally appropriate and sustainably harvested food is critical to achieving true and lasting food security in the North. Blais spoke at The Walrus Talks Global Hunger Crisis in Ottawa on October 18, 2022.
