I'm speaking to you at a moment of grave crisis.

I'm Jeff Turner and this is Recall.

It's a series about history.

that brought a modern democracy to the brink.

You can find Recall how to start a revolution on the CBC Listen app

or wherever you get your podcasts.

and then put it on the sting and it will relieve the pain.
