Today I talk to Steve Smith - better known as RED GREEN (http://www.redgreen.com/) to millions of Canadians as well as PBS viewers. Steve talks about how he got into television, how Morag (his wife) was the one who, with sheer will, got them on TV with Smith & Smith, Me & Max, the weird Canadian TV system, and of course the origins of Red Green.

    Betrayal Season 5

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
