There are about 50,000 PhD candidates in Canada, toiling away for years in relative obscurity. This is the third episode in our series that attempts to turn their research into an hour of radio. In this episode, producers Tom Howell and Nicola Luksic follow the work of McGill University post-doctoral student Stephen Wittek. He studies how theatrical plays in Elizabethan England fed the growth of modern news culture and the existence of an ongoing public conversation.
