A priceless interview with two unstoppable journalists. When not writing poetry (Barfly), Michael Lista leads a parallel life as an award-winning, investigative reporter for such esteemed publications as Toronto Life, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic. (The Globe and Mail’s Jana Pruden calls Lista “one of the best, and most astute, true crime chroniclers in the country.”) Lista’s friend and fellow long-form award-winner Christina Frangou will uncover the secrets of how he gets the story.
Christina Frangou is a Calgary journalist who writes about health and social issues. Her stories have appeared in The Globe and Mail, Chatelaine, Maclean’s and The Guardian, among others, and cover topics like refugee health, domestic violence, loneliness and widowhood. Frangou has received a National Newspaper Award and multiple National Magazine Awards for feature writing. In 2022, she was awarded the Landsberg Award from the Canadian Women’s Foundation and Canadian Journalism Foundation for her work shedding light on gender injustice in Canada.
