Enhanced athletes, enhanced armies, and maybe a slightly enhanced Gavin? This week, Because News brings you a panel featuring Kris Siddiqi, Martha Chavez, and Craig Lauzon tackling a jam-packed week. From steroid-fuelled sports to a teen science fair that blows minds in Fredericton, NB. Plus, we strive for less screen time with the help of a movement called 'Appstinence.'

This week on Because News, we're joined by Brandon Ash-Mohammed, Jan Caruana and Courtney Gilmour. It was a busy news week as the premiers met in Saskatoon where Doug Ford made a musical entrance and Mark Carney was dubbed 'Santa Claus.' We also check in on the Oilers’ playoff run and ask, "why do the guys play Pink Pony Club in the locker room?" Plus, Anne of Green Gables gets a stage makeover, and The Price is Right Canada is here to remind us that no one knows what anything should cost anymore.

This week, Because News does a collective curtsy as King Charles graces Canada with a royal visit. But does anyone actually care? Host Gavin Crawford puts panellists Emma Hunter, Chris Sandiford, and Andrew Phung through the news wringer, covering everything from Trump’s golden dome fantasy to the great Hudson’s Bay mannequin sell-off (finally, some retail therapy we can afford). Plus, we unpack the softest trend sweeping TikTok: grown men telling each other "goodnight." Is it sweet, weird, or both?
