Whatever Happened To...?

TORONTO, NOVEMBER 19, 2020 – Corus Entertainment’s award-winning podcast network Curiouscast, announced today the launch of brand new investigative podcast Whatever Happened To…?.

Speaking directly to the people affected by these stories, Whatever Happened To…? finds out what’s changed and what’s happening now.

“This podcast really highlights what journalists love to do best; digging deep and getting to know the people at the centre of these stories,” said host Erica Vella. “I’m incredibly excited to go through these stories with listeners, step by step, and discover what the developments are, learn new things, and get a glimpse into what life is like for the people and communities who have been impacted.”

Whatever Happened To…? is available now with new episodes released bi-weekly. Listen to all Curiouscast podcasts for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, or wherever you get your favourite podcasts. For more information visit Curiouscast.ca.
