Growing Pains Ep. 1: The Company Trent Keeps

Growing Pains Ep. 1: The Company Trent Keeps

Author: Arthur Newspaper July 15, 2021 Duration: 46:37

Growing Pains is an Arthur Newspaper podcast about the corporatization of Trent University and how it affects students, faculty, and the community in which our university lies. We want to tell you the story of how this small, collegial, liberal arts university has grown into something else… something perhaps unrecognizable from its original form.

In our first episode, ‘The Company Trent Keeps,’ we break down Trent’s Board of Governors and attempt to explain how and why a small group of corporate elites make all the most important decisions at our university. Dr. David Tough takes us on a walk down memory lane to help us piece together how we got here, and how we might imagine a more democratic way forward.


Tune in to Arthur Newspaper for a direct line to the heartbeat of Peterborough and the Trent University community. This isn't a distant news report; it's a conversation happening right where you live and study. Each episode digs into the local stories that matter, offering sharp commentary and analysis you won't find anywhere else. We move seamlessly from downtown developments to campus life, tackling the real issues and conversations that define the unique, sometimes complicated, relationship between city and university. You'll hear voices from across the community, thoughtful critiques of local media, and essential updates that keep you informed. The Arthur Newspaper podcast serves as an audio companion to our long-standing publication, deepening the dialogue with every episode. It’s for anyone invested in this place-whether you're navigating student life, engaged in local politics, or simply curious about where "Ptbo-Nogo" is headed next. Join us for a genuine, ground-level perspective on the news and culture shaping our shared environment.
