  • Great show about Guelph politics including context of the province, country and world

    Thank you for this excellent podcast. With the recent U.S. election I’ve been mainlining so much American content, and have decided I need to familiarize myself with what’s happening locally where I actually can have influence. I greatly appreciate the background and context you give to the information you share. This is important work.

  • Guelph current affairs

    With few sources of local news in Guelph this podcast is a refreshing take on what’s going on. It’s especially nice to hear the interviews of local politicians and community leaders. Thank you Adam for your dedication! Highly recommend if you’re new to Guelph or trying to get involved in the community.

  • Local news in a news vacuum

    Nice effort to cover local Guelph issues with a straightforward un-slanted manner. the feed has 3 shows. Politicast deals specifically with Guelph issues and usually includes an interview with a local politician, activist, or city staff. Open sources deals with wider issues from around the province and beyond but seems to give a perspective on how these i pact Guelph. I haven't listened to end credits.

    A nice source of long form local news and issue analysis which Guelph certainty needs.
