Hey, friend, come on in. My name is Alameen Abdul Mahmood. I am the host of a show called commotion.

Let me tell you what we do. Every day, we gather some of the sharpest and wittiest culture critics I know around the commotion table,

and then we get into the biggest stories that are happening right now in the worlds of arts and entertainment.

Things like Bad Bunny's latest album, or this incredibly close best actress race at the Oscars or how YouTube

is changing kids entertainment. You can find a new episode of commotion every weekday wherever you

get your podcast.

This is a CBC podcast.

Just drop that nice stuff.

Here we go.

In a story filled with consequential door knocks, here's another.

That's the sound of my knuckles on the door of what's important to know for this chapter of the story, a modest

middle-class home.

Hi, Andy, I'm Sam.

Sam, it's so nice to meet you.

I didn't tell you to come through the main door.

Oh, sorry.

Come on up.

To figure out how a mere Canadian man named Albert Walker became one of the most wanted men in the world,

one frosty night, I drove an hour from Toronto to a small town called Orangeville to meet someone.

I tell this story often in various bits and pieces, forms, and layers, and, you know, how many rabbit holes do you want to go down?

I was pretty much ground zero for the whole nonsense.

That's Andy Staley.
