GUELPH POLITICAST #423 – Why Do We Care?
June 19, 2024 08:09 - 55 minutes - 88.4 MBThere’s a presidential election this year in the U.S., maybe you’ve heard about it, and like so much of American culture it threatens to block out the sun here, not to mention a lot of serious political issues we’re dealing with here in Canada. Why are we so obsessed with American politics and is it to the detriment of our own political enlightenment in this country? We could intellectualize this by saying that what goes on in America is a sneak preview of what’s coming in Canada. The neo-l...
Open Sources Guelph #473 - June 13, 2024
June 17, 2024 09:32 - 58 minutes - 93.4 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we won't say that democracy doesn't work, but it certainly seems to be malfunctioning. We will look to our friends in the EU who seem to be increasingly embracing authoritarianism, but things aren't too rosy on our own shores where a beleaguered Indigenous community here in Ontario has to take the government to court to get action. For the interview this week - and don't hate us - we're talking about landlord issues with a landlord. This Thursday, June 13,...
End Credits #345 - June 12, 2024 (I Saw the TV Glow)
June 14, 2024 08:48 - 58 minutes - 93.3 MBThis week on End Credits, we watch TV. Sort of. Our movie in this episode is about people who watch TV and maybe watch a little too closely, but that's okay because there's allegory in them there hills! We're going to talk about the new sure-to-be cult classic I Saw the TV Glow, and we're also going to talk about summer movies the best way we can, with a draft! This Wednesday, June 12, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: The Summer of '89 Draft. Without hyperbole, ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #422 – Walk The Line
June 12, 2024 08:48 - 52 minutes - 83.8 MBFor this week’s podcast, we’re taking it on the road! There are two big protests of a sort happening in Guelph right now, one is technically a strike, and the other is an encampment on campus. Both are local stories with implications beyond the city limits, both are examples of renewed interest in direct action, and both started at around the same time. So how are things going out there, and are these actions having an impact? On May 27, nearly 1,000 workers at the Cargill plant on Dunlop D...
Open Sources Guelph #472 - June 6, 2024
June 09, 2024 08:35 - 56 minutes - 90.1 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we don't take the law into our own hands, we go to court with some popcorn. On this episode, many of our news items intersect with justice matters as we talk about the deportation of a national pariah, the trial of a serial killer, a plea deal for a would-be mass murderer, and the unexpected result of a corruption trial in the U.S. Also, because a week can't go by without him sticking his foot in his mouth, we'll talk about Ontario's Premier. This Thursday...
End Credits #344 - June 5, 2024 (Hit Man)
June 07, 2024 09:41 - 56 minutes - 91.3 MBThis week on End Credits, we're being careful about what we're pretending to be. Sly references to Vonnegut aside, things aren't quite that serious today as this episode tackles the lies we tell when we fall in love while pretending to be a contract killer in Hit Man. But the fun doesn't stop there because we're going to Tatooine and back with a return visit to the galaxy far, far away! This Wednesday, June 5, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The Phantom Menace at...
GUELPH POLITICAST #REPEAT- Have You Considered "Dark Tourism"?
June 05, 2024 09:09 - 44 minutes - 71.3 MBThere's been a lot of discussion recently about boosting Guelph's tourism profile. In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, cities are working hard to rebuild their shattered tourism industries and Guelph is no exception, which is why the City of Guelph this week launched the Tourism Grants Program, designed to support the development and attraction of new tourism initiatives across Guelph. So here's an idea... Last fall, Guelph Politico explored the possibilities of dark tourism in Guelp...
Open Sources Guelph #471 - May 30, 2024
June 03, 2024 19:48 - 1 hour - 96.2 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're all about elections. We're not having one across Ontario anytime soon, but the premier didn't rule it out last week. However, they are having an election right now in Mississauga, they're going to the polls next month to choose a new mayor. For the interview this week, we look to the United Kingdom where they're also having an election, and our guest has thoughts. This Thursday, May 30, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: The S...
End Credits #343 - May 29, 2024 (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga)
May 31, 2024 09:39 - 56 minutes - 91.3 MBThis week on End Credits, we're speaking French to power! Well, not really. This episode is definitely France adjacent though, because there's a big annual film festival that just wrapped up there, and they premiered a great many movies over the last few weeks. One of them is the movie we're reviewing today, a prequel to a 10-year-old movie and a sequel to a 45-year-old one. This Wednesday, May 29, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Yes We Cannes. Every year, the cen...
GUELPH POLITICAST #421 – This is Not a Drill Hall!
May 29, 2024 09:03 - 47 minutes - 76.8 MBAt next week's Committee of the Whole meeting, Guelph City Council will look at the fate of the Drill Hall; staff wants to put it up for sale, but there's at least one group in Guelph that wants to do something with it now. It's an idea called the Guelph Centre for Visual Art, and it could feature exhibition space, artist studios, educational and meeting space, and so much more. But does city hall share their vision? This is a tale of two long-term projects. The first is a story about creat...
Open Sources Digest - May 23, 2024
May 27, 2024 09:25 - 52 minutes - 83.5 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're looking for change. Everyone who's ever been a politician started out as something else, and as we're looking to next year's federal election, and an open seat here in the riding of Guelph, we've already got a couple of people looking for a career change. This week, we're talking to a labour activist and a city councillor who both want to be your next MP. This Thursday, May 23 at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Folk-Dawson’s C...

May 24, 2024 09:21 - 58 minutes - 94.5 MBThis week on End Credits, we put up our dukes! Join us as we celebrate violence with three movies that we've reviewed recently, all of which taught us again and again that sometimes all it takes fix things is to break stuff. So stop, stretch, and line-up your knuckles because when we get into this week, we really get into. Let them fight! This Wednesday, May 22, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Tim Phillips, Peter Salmon, and Candice Lepage will discuss: Fight Movies! Sometimes you've just got...
GUELPH POLITICAST #420 – The Year at Council So Far
May 22, 2024 08:52 - 40 minutes - 65.6 MBTime flies when you're having fun in the council chambers, which brings us to the first recap podcast of the year. We started off slow with one meeting in January, and then things go really busy in February and March, including one meeting that was really two meetings, but all together they were 12 hours long. Remember what that one was about? Remember what any of them were about? So there was one meeting in January and it cued up a meeting in February, the one about the Public Spaces Uses...
Open Sources Digest - May 16, 2024
May 20, 2024 08:55 - 56 minutes - 90.7 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we've got a digest for you. As we lean back on an ant hill, touch grass and love life, we're treating you to two recent in-depth conversations with fascinating and insightful activists in their respective fields. First, just in time for Pride Month, we're going talk about trans equality, and second, just in time for Victoria Day planting, we're going to talk about farm workers. This Thursday, May 16 at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss:...

May 17, 2024 08:55 - 58 minutes - 94.3 MBThis week on End Credits, we learn from the best! There's been a lot talk in the last few years about there being nothing good at the movie theatre anymore, but as a dedicated listener of this show, you know that's not true and to prove it, we will dedicate this week's episode to some of the best movies we've seen so far this year at the cinema, though you can now get them at home. This Wednesday, May 15, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Tim Phillips, Peter Salmon, and Candice Lepage will discus...

May 15, 2024 09:04 - 31 minutes - 50 MBThis is the 20th anniversary year for the Special Olympics, which speaks to the tremendous success of the event, and while it is about the competition in some respects, these games are mostly about fun and camaraderie. In an era where we talk so much about kids being attached to their screens, what can be more essential than some good, old-fashioned sports? Today (Wednesday), over 700 athletes from over 60 schools are competing in various track and field events, some of which are adapted so...
Open Sources Guelph #470 - May 9, 2024
May 13, 2024 08:39 - 57 minutes - 92.2 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, everything old is new again! Nothing changes after two big by-elections in different parts of Ontario, and the war that has stymied the world for the better part of a year now only looks close to reaching a resolution. Also, under hope and change, we have a guest this week that hopes a commemoration this month will lead to improved lives for people everywhere! This Thursday, May 9, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Paradise Lost, a...
End Credits #340 - May 8, 2024 (The Fall Guy)
May 10, 2024 08:59 - 56 minutes - 91.3 MBThis week on End Credits, we're doing endings and beginnings. On the subject of the latter, we're talking about a new movie that officially marks the first release of the Summer Movie season, a little - but big - movie called The Fall Guy.

GUELPH POLITICAST #418 – Mental Health Week
May 08, 2024 08:54 - 46 minutes - 74.6 MBEarlier this year, Statistics Canada reported that there has been a five per cent increase in positive responses in the proportions of adults who reported excellent or very good mental health, a strong sense of belonging to their local community, and a high level of life satisfaction between 2021 and 2023. And yet, considering that still less than three out of five adults report excellent or very good mental health, we still have a long way to go. If you’re listening to this on Wednesday, t...
Open Sources Guelph #469 - May 2, 2024
May 07, 2024 01:54 - 57 minutes - 91.8 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we reconnect with our roots. It's been a busy week for student protests and campus shutdowns, and it's not escaped media attention, but getting less media attention is B.C.'s move to re-criminalize drugs, which may be a big step backwards. As always, this media is focused on local, and we will talk to a city councillor that maybe making a move from local to national. This Thursday, May 2, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Shock and...
GUELPH SPORTSCAST: Who's on First Base Coach?
May 04, 2024 08:58 - 36 minutes - 58.5 MBEvery year, four or five people are plucked from Guelph’s sporting history and are immortalized for all eternity on the walls of the Sleeman Centre, but one doesn’t spend a life in local sports to be immortal. It’s a passion that can span a lifetime, which is what decades of Royals might say about Paul Ante, who has been one kind of Guelph Royal or another for the last half-century. Paul Ante been a part of the Guelph Royals Intercounty baseball team for over five decades as a player, coach...

Stand by for a preview! This Wednesday, May 1, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Summer 2024 Movie Preview! For the first time sin...
GUELPH POLITICAST #417 – Guelph Stories
May 01, 2024 09:34 - 46 minutes - 74.9 MBAs we count down to the 200th anniversary of the Canada Company settling Guelph in just three years, you can expect to hear more about how we’re honouring our history in Guelph, both pre- and post-settlement.

This week, we're joined by Ed...

April 29, 2024 09:23 - 56 minutes - 91.1 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we mark Earth Week by discussing some of the news that happened on this planet. We will travel from Washington D.C. to Kiev where there's finally some good news in that war effort, but it's just too bad that there wasn't any good news when it comes to funding our regional transit system. Also, we will talk and act locally with one of our Guelph city councillors. This Thursday, April 25, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: For a Few Do...

GUELPH POLITICAST #416 – Day of Mourning 2024
April 24, 2024 08:48 - 43 minutes - 70.2 MBIf it’s the end of April, then you know it’s time for the annual National Day or Mourning. Although the pandemic is over, it's worth remembering there was a whole class of workers who had to keep working as it happened, and that meant intentionally putting themselves at risk. This was important, but even before the pandemic, workers across Canada in all sorts of work were taking risks every day, often unknowingly, and they still are. According to the Association of Workers' Compensation Boa...
Open Sources Guelph #467 - April 18, 2024
April 22, 2024 09:24 - 57 minutes - 92.5 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're going to have an "orgy of spending."

Our main review this week was thought dead on arrival when it was released in theatres earlier this year, but all movies can live again on VOD and today we're going to see if there's some life left in Lisa Frankenstein. As for the rest of the show, we go full zombie with a modern classic! This Wednesday, April 17, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Shaun of the Dead...
GUELPH POLITICAST #415 - Doors Open Preview
April 17, 2024 09:27 - 40 minutes - 65.4 MBDoors Open Guelph is one of dozens of similar events across Ontario that celebrates local history and heritage by throwing open the doors to buildings that are typically pretty inaccessible to the general public. There’s no shortage of history and heritage nerds in Guelph who all have their favourites so how are the sites chosen, why are they chosen, and why are these buildings on the 2024 tour? The Ontario Heritage Trust started organizing Doors Open events around the province in 2002 and ...
Open Sources Guelph #466 - April 11, 2024

April 12, 2024 09:01 - 57 minutes - 92.2 MBThis week on End Credits, it's the Year of the Monkey!

On this show, we're going to review the new action thriller Monkey Man, which is all about revenge fights, and we're going to take a moment to talk about the best movie revenge fights so far! This Wednesday, April 10, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Best Served Cold. Monkey M...
GUELPH POLITICAST #414 - Tiny Homes, Big Impacts
April 10, 2024 08:59 - 41 minutes - 66.4 MBWe’ve heard a lot about tiny homes lately as the housing crisis has gotten worse, but they’ve been a thing for a while. Somehow, it’s both a niche real estate trend, and a new innovation in accommodating Canada’s unhoused population, but it’s the latter that we’re interested in today because we're going to talk about one of Guelph's two tiny home projects meant to tackle homelessness. In Kitchener, there was this idea called A Better Tent City. In 2020, various community partners teamed up...
Open Sources Guelph #465 - April 4, 2024
April 08, 2024 08:43 - 55 minutes - 88.3 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're feeling hungry... Hungry for the news! To begin with we will look 75 years into the past to when the last piece of Canada fell into place, and speaking of piece, we'll talk about the people who get the bigger parts of paycheque pie.

April 05, 2024 09:05 - 57 minutes - 92.6 MBThis week on End Credits, we wanna fight! Now this is typically a collegial show where the hosts get along, so when we talk about fighting it's usually in relation to a movie, and this week we're watching all the fighting with Road House. Now this movie is a remake, and while he was a lover *and* a fighter, we will pay tribute to the star of that original Road House movie. This Wednesday, April 3, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Saint Patrick's Day. In 1989 Patri...
GUELPH POLITICAST #413 - ARCH is Gone But Their Services Remain
April 03, 2024 08:45 - 41 minutes - 66.9 MBHIV/AIDS Resources and Community Health, or ARCH, suddenly announced its closure last week. Losing ARCH impacts a wide variety of people in Guelph and area, whether that’s HIV prevention and care, needle exchanges and harm reduction, or gender affirming and trans healthcare. For these people, ARCH has been the first and only place they could turn for help, so who's going to fill the void? The short answer is a team-up of the Guelph Community Health Centre and the AIDS Committee Of Cambridge...

GUELPH POLITICAST #412 – A Climate Action Check-In
March 27, 2024 08:47 - 45 minutes - 73.6 MBThe City of Guelph has two goals, one to be a net zero community by 2050 and the other to be 100 per cent powered by renewable energy at the same time, and while 2050 is still a good 26 years away, it’s going to get here sooner than we think. This week, we're going to go over the climate action report card, how is Guelph doing as we're trying to turn the tide? From the moment Guelph city council established their net zero and 100 per cent renewable goals in 2021, local climate activists hav...

March 25, 2024 08:52 - 57 minutes - 92.4 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, it's starting to feel like the bad guys are winning. It's certainly true that a bad guy won in Russia this week, and he has a friend in the United States who he wants to join him in all the winning, but that's still be determined because that guy's got bigger problems. In terms of the smaller problems, we'll have a guest on to talk about solutions. This Thursday, March 21, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: The Totally Vlad Show. In...

GUELPH POLITICAST #411 - Raw Audio News
March 20, 2024 09:27 - 34 minutes - 55.6 MBThe last few weeks have been busy news weeks, so on this edition of the podcast we're going to lift the veil of news gathering and take you behind the scenes to see how the sausage the media gets made.

March 18, 2024 09:05 - 57 minutes - 91.5 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we throw ourselves into international drama.

End Credits #332 - March 13, 2024 (Perfect Days)
March 15, 2024 09:02 - 57 minutes - 92 MBThis week on End Credits, we search for perfection. It's hard to find, difficult to describe, and different for everyone, but if there's one thing that many critics can agree on, it's that the new film Perfect Days is pretty close to perfection. We will let you know if we agree with that assessment, but also under the topic of perfection, we will revisit another blast from our 80s past. This Wednesday, March 6, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: This is Spinal Tap.....
GUELPH POLITICAST #410 – Buses and Trains Wanted!
March 13, 2024 08:26 - 37 minutes - 59.4 MBAs listeners familiar with the work of Guelph Politico are aware, improved transit is a pretty big part of the mission, and more often than not, we’re talking about local transit. But did you know that transit can take you to places outside of Guelph’s urban boundaries? This is somewhat tricky because regional transit, both to and from Guelph, is lacking, and we're not alone. That’s where a new advocacy group wants to make a difference. Before looking at the pan regional picture, let’s look...

GUELPH POLITICAST #409 – Advanced Repeat
March 06, 2024 08:45 - 49 minutes - 80.1 MBIt's rare these days to work in the same place for over four decades, but when you go to the Guelph Public Library this week you may notice that one long-time face is no longer around. Maybe you didn't notice because you were so obsessed with the thought of heading into the DVD stacks to find more Denis Villeneuve flicks, high on the hit from Dune: Part Two. If any of this sounds right, this podcast is for you! First, we will insert a little End Credits action into this show by replaying t...
