A US Retailer Fights off a Canadian Pirate

BBC World Service - Boston Calling, A US Retailer Fights off a Canadian Pirate

A small shop in Canada is reselling goods from popular US store in, Trader Joe's

American spying then and now, a beloved US retailer fights off a Canadian pirate, and where some see trash in “ET: The Video Game” others see treasure.

A European take on revelations of a secret US government surveillance programme and, looking back to a time when 'listening in' was less sophisticated, we hear from Cold War-era eavesdroppers.

Also on the programme: a beloved US retailer takes on a Canadian pirate. And the hunt for a video game that’s trash to some but treasure to others.
