Q1:39Shad: Can art help forge a space for common ground?

Shad opens today's show with a nod to the people of Baltimore as protests against police violence spread beyond the Maryland city. He pauses to consider the ripple effects of inequality and reminds Canadians that the problem exists here, too. Perhaps q, he notes, can help create some common ground.

"At its best, this show becomes a meeting ground for people on all sides of these growing divides."
