Love the show. The short format is perfect for the subject matter.
Love the show especially the local politics focus. I want to say I love the Jason Proctor stories too, but they are rather complicated and the listener would greatly benefit from Stephen chiming in with questions and the odd mini-explanation. The VPD one in particular had me lost pretty quickly
I love the focus on Vancouver issues in a short interview style. Stephen Quinn is excellent: insightful and compassionate.
