The Jas Johal Show is the Lower Mainland’s town square, helping you connect with the stories that matter. It’s about finding the solutions to the challenges facing our region, even when we disagree.

  • Lynda is good - get rid of the guy!

    Would like the show if the whinny socialist guy would leave or be quite. He adds nothing . Would rather hear callers thoughts without his high pitched lefty comments interruptions. Will check back in when he is gone.

  • Awful co-host

    What would otherwise be a good podcast is ruined by its male co-host; the co-host frequently chimes in with verbal sound bites that add no value to the show. Furthermore, he yells during his special segments and editorials which are utterly irritating to listen to. Without him, this would be a much better program.

  • Its okay

    Her main co-host is a bit of a yes-man. Always agreeing with her in an over the top way. I dont like the call-in segment either. She doesnt have a conversation with callers which is awkward to listen to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Jas Johal Show: Oct. 22, 2026
Q: BC's deficit is projected at nearly $14 billion, the worst since at least 1991. Both the NDP and the Conservatives have released costed platforms. Neither gets us back to balance this decade. When you look at those two plans, what do you actually see?
Campbell argues that rising debt interest costs and government spending are serious concerns. He favors fiscal discipline, lower personal taxes and economic growth through industries such as mining, forestry and energy.
The Jas Johal Show: Oct. 22, 2026
Q: Permanent standard time and permanent daylight time. Most people hear two versions of the same thing. Why does your body care which one we're on?
Zeitzer says bright light close to waking strengthens the circadian system, which helps regulate sleep, alertness, appetite and other functions.
The Resale Revolution: Why Pre-Owned Shopping Is Taking Off
Q: Does that suggest that the second-hand retail sector is a threat to them?
Gray sees resale as more of a missed opportunity than a threat to new-item sales. Brand-run programs can keep sellers and buyers within a company's ecosystem, while creating an entry point for new customers.
The Resale Revolution: Why Pre-Owned Shopping Is Taking Off
Q: How much of this is connected to the high cost of living?
Gray says the economy is a major driver, with over three-quarters of pre-owned shoppers in the research citing cost savings and economic conditions. He adds that trying resale makes shoppers more comfortable with it.
B.C.’s development industry calls for lower building costs
Q: What do you want this government or the opposition to do? And what do you think that will help your folks?
Jill Atkey calls for restarting 5,000 stalled homes and finalizing an agreement to co-invest in the Canada Rental Protection Fund, while noting the projects would support construction jobs and preserve affordable rentals.
