End Credits #200 Show - May 26, 2021 (Top 5 of the First 199)
May 28, 2021 09:18 - 57 minutes - 91.8 MBThis week on End Credits, it's a cause for celebration. As you may have noticed above, this is the 200th episode of the show, a momentous event almost four years in the making. There have been a lot of changes on the show, some people have come and gone over the years, but the draw has always been the movies, and this week we remember the best of the best. This Wednesday, May 26, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Tim Phillips, Candice Lepage, and Peter Salmon will discuss: Top Five of the First...
GUELPH POLITICAST #275 - 100 Years After the Meeting on Metcalfe Street
May 26, 2021 09:03 - 44 minutes - 71.5 MBOn Monday May 23, 1921, a small group of people gathered in a barn on the outskirts of Guelph to found the Communist Party of Canada. It was three years after the Russian Revolution, and there was already widespread concern about the spread of Marxist ideas, but economic stagnation, a global pandemic, and societal disillusionment post World War I made people hungry for some kind of change to the status quo. Sound familiar? True, some things have not changed in the last century, but a hundre...
Open Sources Guelph #327 - May 20, 2021
May 24, 2021 09:26 - 56 minutes - 91 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph we've got repeats. We have some new developments on previously covered stories from conflict in the Middle East to conflict inside our own Canadian Forces that keeps getting more concerning. In the back half of the show, we're going to cover transportation, housing, and municipal budgeting in a tight 22 minutes with our guest from Guelph City Hall. This Thursday, May 20, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Something's Gaza Give. The v...
End Credits #199 - May 19, 2021 (Love & Monsters)
May 21, 2021 10:04 - 56 minutes - 90.2 MBThis week on End Credits, we're getting excited! Look at the top line to see why, but next week is going to be a pretty big episode of the show. In the meantime, we've got something big for this week's show, monsters! We're going to review the post-apocalyptic romance fantasy Love & Monsters, and we're going to rewind to the very busy summer of 1985 in our wayback segment. This Wednesday, May 19, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Summer Lovin’ Part 3: 1985. In our ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #274 – Still COVID [Spring Edition] with Dr. Tenenbaum
May 19, 2021 09:33 - 43 minutes - 69.1 MBThe last time that Dr. Nicola Mercer was on the show, we were on the downward slide from the second wave, the vaccine rollout was moving slowly, and there was a vague hopefulness for a brighter spring. Now, it’s almost summer, the third wave is still strong, but progress is being made to get more people shots, but even that move has had very public hiccups that are crying out for an in-depth discussion. When it comes to the vaccine rollout, Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health has done ...
Open Sources Guelph #326 - May 13, 2021
May 17, 2021 09:33 - 55 minutes - 88.7 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, things get complicated. At home, we're going to try and unwind the complex string of motivations behind new government regs for tech companies, and the even more complex political and religious motivations behind the last violence in the Middle East. In the back half of the show, our local MPP will stop by to talk about the intricate random web of the provincial fight against COVID-19. This Thursday, May 13, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will...
End Credits #198 - May 12, 2021 (Mortal Kombat)
May 14, 2021 10:19 - 55 minutes - 89.6 MBThis week on End Credits, we're going to loosen up our thumbs and get out our controllers because we're digging up the ghosts of video games past with the newly rebooted Mortal Kombat movie. That sounds like a summer flick, but since we have no summer movie releases of our own, we will once again be forced to dip into the past with another 80s recap! This Wednesday, May 12, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Summer Lovin’ Part 2: 1984. In lieu of the latest summer m...
GUELPH POLITICAST #273 - The Pandemic Arts
May 12, 2021 10:08 - 42 minutes - 67.8 MBThese days, more and more people have used the pandemic to discover new creative resources, while professional artists have struggled to earn a living without access to the live venues and events from which they usually collect the majority of their income. From new programs to virtual events, it’s been a long, hard road for the Guelph Arts Council for the last 15 months, and it’s not over yet. The Guelph Arts Council has been around since 1975. It's reportedly one of the first institutions...
GUELPH POLITICAST #272 - The Pandemic Arts
May 12, 2021 10:08 - 42 minutes - 67.8 MBThese days, more and more people have used the pandemic to discover new creative resources, while professional artists have struggled to earn a living without access to the live venues and events from which they usually collect the majority of their income.

Open Sources Guelph #325 - May 6, 2021
May 10, 2021 09:56 - 54 minutes - 88 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're coming down from May Day, Star Wars Day, and Cinco de Mayo. The news week was almost as busy with provincial pandemic politics this week focused on the long-term care enigma, and the conundrum of anti-lockdown protestors. Federally, the sexual misconduct story in the military keeps getting bigger, and then there's this other big education story in northern Ontario... This Thursday, May 6, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Care...
End Credits #197 - May 5, 2021 (Things Heard & Seen)
May 07, 2021 09:51 - 56 minutes - 90.5 MBThis week on End Credits, we're going to get spooky again! It's been a while since we tackled a good, old fashioned ghost story (unless dead malls count), but we're going to make up for lost time with the new streaming hit Things Heard & Seen. It's not exactly breezy summer viewing, but we're also going to talk about the good old days of going to the movies in summer time. This Wednesday, May 5, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Summer Lovin' Part 1: 1982. Normall...
GUELPH POLITICAST #271 – A Political Unsolved Mystery
May 05, 2021 09:24 - 1 hour - 96.3 MBIn May 2, 2011, it was the 41st general federal election. That was the day that Stephen Harper won his first and only majority government, and while that did shake up the normal political order, it was not the only thing that happened that day to reverberate in Canadian political culture. Remember Pierre Poutine? Remember Robocalls? Well this is the day for a little political unsolved mystery. On Election Day 20211, thousands of people around Guelph received a robocall telling them that the...

Open Sources Guelph #324 - April 29, 2021
May 03, 2021 10:13 - 56 minutes - 90.2 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we don't have anything snappy to say. The pandemic is getting way out of control in India, and we desperately need a response. Meanwhile, in the United States, where the virus used to be out of control, the POTUS took a sort of victory lap. We'll talk about that, and we'll talk to a member of the provincial NDP caucus from a neighbouring riding about the Ontario angle. This Thursday, April 29, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Indi...
End Credits #196 - April 28, 2021 (Bad Trip)
April 30, 2021 10:11 - 55 minutes - 89.2 MBThis week on End Credits, we're going high-brow and low-brow. We're going to review the new comedy Bad Trip, which, yes, is a double entendre, but is the Bad Trip, really a bad trip, or is it a good trip? Is this Inception? We'll find out, and we'll also talk about this year's Oscars ceremony, which was very different, but still somehow managed to court controversy. This Wednesday, April 28, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Golden Moments. The Oscars took place la...
GUELPH POLITICAST #271 - Takin' Care of Business
April 28, 2021 09:33 - 41 minutes - 66.7 MBAs you may have noticed, it’s a tough time out there for businesses, and a tougher time for businesses run by Black people, Indigenous people, and People of Colour. No one knows that better than Chidi Nwene because he talked to BIPOC-owned businesses to discuss their struggles in this third wave of the pandemic. What he learned was not necessarily surprising, but it still needs to be said. Nwene literally went door-to-door to talk to business owners for a project he called “On the Streets o...
Open Sources Guelph #323 - April 22, 2021
April 26, 2021 10:15 - 56 minutes - 90 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we can't handle all the drama at Queen's Park. There are a lot of juicy stories coming out of the Ontario Legislature this week, but who can keep track of it all? So let's go to Parliament Hill, where they delivered a budget after a 25-month hiatus, and then we'll head stateside for a talk about social justice. After the break? Back to Ottawa, and a chat with China's most hated Canadian! This Thursday, April 22, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson ...
End Credits #195 - April 21, 2021 (Jasper Mall)
April 23, 2021 09:47 - 56 minutes - 90.7 MBThis week on End Credits, we will go to the mall. But you say it's not open because of the lockdown. Well that would be true in real life, but in screen life going to the mall is as easy as calling up your Amazon Prime app. This week, we're going to check out the documentary Jasper Mall and also give a few Oscar predictions. This Wednesday, April 21, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Pete Salmon will discuss: Best Bets. The Oscars are happening this Sunday and the event itself will look will...
GUELPH POLITICAST #270 - On-Demand Transit is Lit!
April 21, 2021 09:34 - 49 minutes - 78.6 MBBelleville is a little bigger than one-third the size of Guelph, but next month we’re going somewhere that Belleville’s been for a while. Since the invention of public transit, it’s been run simply by posting a map, scheduling the stops, and running buses and trains with regularity. It was static, it was predictable, and it was the simplest way we knew how to run a transit system. But is all that about to change? Like Guelph, Belleville has a thriving local cultural base, a beloved local j...
Open Sources Guelph #322 - April 15, 2021
April 19, 2021 10:05 - 54 minutes - 87.2 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we have really mastered the art of covering politics virtually. We start the show with the latest news from the third wave of the pandemic, and then pivot to the online-only policy conventions for two of the major Federal parties from last weekend. After that, we will be joined by another member of Guelph City Council thanks to the power of Zoom. Who is it? Let's find out! This Thursday, April 15, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: ...
End Credits #194 - April 14, 2021 (Nomadland)
April 16, 2021 10:03 - 57 minutes - 92.1 MBThis week on End Credits, we're all on lockdown here in Ontario, but we're going to hit the road in spirit. Unable to travel ourselves, we will live vicariously this week through the titular characters of Nomadland, and since this is an Oscar-nominee, we will consider all the movies that were also looking good in awards season, but never got their just desserts. This Wednesday, April 14, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: The Snub Club. It's Oscar time in just a f...
GUELPH POLITICAST #269 - Pandemics Make Strange Bedfellows
April 14, 2021 09:26 - 48 minutes - 77.9 MBThe most dramatic cultural shift of the pandemic has not been “care-mongering”, or an appreciation of essential workers, it’s been the growing number of people who believe that the things we all see and hear are fake, and reality is something entirely different. With the province locked down again, these groups have found a curious new ally: small business owners. So now what happens? This past Saturday, some 60 people marched through downtown Guelph to support small businesses forced to c...
Open Sources Guelph #321 - April 8, 2021
April 12, 2021 10:14 - 56 minutes - 90.8 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we come down off the post-Easter chocolate high with a very busy news week. We've got some mixed messages here in Ontario about the latest COVID restrictions, and there's controversy in Ottawa with allegations of gross (and gross) misconduct. From the U.S., we've got a pretty big trial happening across the lakes right now, and there's this guy from Florida... This Thursday, April 8, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: The Hurt Lockdow...
End Credits #193 - April 7, 2021 (The United States Vs. Billie Holiday)
April 09, 2021 10:02 - 56 minutes - 91.3 MBThis week on End Credits, we're going to get out our singing voices. We're tuning up another bio-pic, Oscar-nominated drama with a great central performance, and it's called The United States Vs. Billie Holiday. Before that, we will dig into the latest in the collection of movie news from giant monsters, giant sequels, and giant disappointments(?). This Wednesday, April 7, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Monster Cache. This week, Godzilla Vs. Kong was released onl...
GUELPH POLITICAST #268 - The State of Pandemic in the City
April 07, 2021 09:45 - 1 hour - 116 MBThe State of the City is hosted annually by the Chamber of Commerce, a chance for businesses to network with each other, talk about what they're doing, and then hear from the mayor about the latest selling points of the city from 1 Carden Street. This year, there was the usual positive spin, but the long shadow of COVID was everywhere, so what is the State of the City according to the mayor? Usually, the State of the City event is held in the Delta Hotel and Conference Centre, and it comes ...
Open Sources Guelph #320 - April 1, 2021
April 05, 2021 10:16 - 56 minutes - 90.5 MBThe original April Fools are back this week with another episode of Open Sources Guelph. We would love to spend the hour making jokes and pulling pranks, but there's some serious stuff to talk about. We will look at the ever changing pandemic response provincially, and the growing trend of Anti-Asian hate that's even affected our community. After the break, it's back to the patio with another Guelph city councillor. This Thursday, April 1, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will d...
End Credits #192 - March 31, 2021 (Zack Snyder's Justice League)
April 02, 2021 09:30 - 55 minutes - 89.2 MBThis week on End Credits, we're going to #ReleasetheCutasUsual. It's not exactly the sexiest hashtag, but it's apropos because we are releasing the show like usual, but this show is about the so-called #SnyderCut of Justice League. If you like that, you might also like our list of other movies with their own #ReleaseInsertNameCut. This Wednesday, March 31, at 4 pm*, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Cuts Above the Rest. In honour of this week's review, we're going to talk a...
GUELPH POLITICAST #267 - The Science of Trauma
March 31, 2021 10:09 - 41 minutes - 66.5 MBOver 15 per cent of our region has been fully vaccinated against COVID-19, which means that we are slowly but surely putting the pandemic behind us. But once everyone’s gotten a shot, there’s going to be an even longer term recovery project to consider, which is how we will mentally recover from the pandemic. The last great COVID-19 health crisis will be fought inside each of us. Are we prepared? Earlier this month, the Homewood Research Institute announced a new fellowship designed to tra...
Open Sources Guelph #319 - March 25, 2021
March 29, 2021 09:30 - 57 minutes - 91.6 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're having Canada Day three months early. Sort of. Our topics this week are all Canada-centric, from the provincial where we just got a new Ontario Budget just six months after the last one, to the national where the Official Opposition might have failed to make a case that anything has changed. After that, we've got the update on the Two Michaels and some museum chat(?). This Thursday, March 25, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: ...
End Credits #191 - March 24, 2021 (Promising Young Woman)
March 26, 2021 09:39 - 57 minutes - 92.8 MBThis week on End Credits, things are going to get especially disturbing. Our review this week is an Oscar-nominee, and a timely one at that. We're going to talk about Promising Young Woman, and there's so much to talk about with this movie. For a bit of fun though, we're going to kick off the first part of the show on a theme with a list of revenge movies. This Wednesday, March 24, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Scorecard with a Vengeance. Are you aware of the...
GUELPH POLITICAST #266 - This Woman's Work Didn't Stop for COVID
March 24, 2021 09:17 - 51 minutes - 82.4 MBIn the pandemic, some people have been lucky enough to get to work at home, but there are still thousands of people in Ontario that have to go to a physical work location everyday, and they're putting themselves in danger of catching COVID-19 in the process. Are these people being protected like they should, and who is looking out for them? Around this time last year, Debora De Angelis of the United Food and Commercial Worker (UFCW) union appeared on the podcast to talk how the workers she...
Open Sources Guelph #318 - March 18, 2021
March 22, 2021 09:49 - 56 minutes - 90.8 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we skip over the luck of the Irish and get right to the anger of the Scots, and there's a lot to be angry about. From a COVID conspiracy shindig in our town to a mega-media merger that's unlikely to help anyone with access or pricing, we will make our outrage known. After that, we will turn to Guelph MP Lloyd Longfield, who will hopefully help bring the temperature down. This Thursday, March 18, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Bu...
A GREAT DEBATE #1: The Downtown Dining District
March 21, 2021 09:38 - 1 hour - 116 MBNext Monday, city council will meet to ratify their decisions about the 2021-2023 patio program for downtown Guelph. Or change it. There's been an undercurrent of dissatisfaction about the decision made to close downtown streets for special occasions only; some people want a summer-long closure, others want no closure or something in between. This has all the makings of A GREAT DEBATE! In what could be the pilot for a new monthly video feature (like the video and comment if you want some mo...
End Credits #190 - MArch 17, 2021 (I'm Your Woman)
March 19, 2021 09:51 - 55 minutes - 88.7 MBThis week on End Credits, we go on the run! Even though it's St. Patrick's Day, there's no party you can go to, so why not stay in, watch a movie, and listen to us talk about it? This week, the movie is I'm Your Woman, which is now streamable on Amazon Prime, and we will also make room to celebrate another matter, the Academy Award nominations. This Wednesday, March 17, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Gold Rushes. They were a little late, but the nominations for ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #265 - COVID-19: One Year Later...
March 17, 2021 09:48 - 44 minutes - 70.6 MBOutside of the City of Guelph or Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health, it’s hard to think of a group that’s been more entwined with the day-in/day-out issues of COVID-19 than the Guelph Family Health Team. From testing to vaccination, the Family Health Team has been in the thick of it through the pandemic, and one year later it seems timely to get some insight from behind the scenes. March 17, 2020 was not the start of the pandemic in Ontario, but it was the day that the proverbial stuf...
Open Sources Guelph #317 - March 11, 2021
March 15, 2021 09:23 - 57 minutes - 92.2 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're in a mood to celebrate, or we would be if the special occasion in question was something other than the start of a global pandemic. On this paper anniversary of the COVID-19 lockdown, we will talk about the politics of vaccines, and the racial politics of being royal. And in terms of local politics, we will talk about the surprisingly bitter politics of patios. This Thursday, March 11, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Needle ...
End Credits#189 - March 10, 2021 (Coming 2 America)
March 12, 2021 09:34 - 56 minutes - 91 MBThis week on End Credits, we're going to America. Not literally, or course, there's still a pandemic, but if Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall can go back to America, than we can go with them, and we do on this week's episode with the sequel Coming 2 America. We will discuss that movie, and we will also discuss some of the other stuff we're watching and you might be watching too. This Wednesday, March 10, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: What We're Watching. There's s...
GUELPH POLITICAST #264 - Step Up and Do Better
March 10, 2021 10:17 - 41 minutes - 66.5 MBExactly one week from today, it’s the one-year anniversary of the declaration of a state of emergency in Ontario. The days leading up to March 17, 2020 were the first test of our collective mental health, watching the number of COVID cases steadily increase until things started locking down. But the struggles didn’t end last March, and they show no signs of abating this current month even though the end of the pandemic may be near. Noah Irvine knows something about living with the conseque...
Open Sources Guelph #316 - March 4, 2021
March 08, 2021 10:10 - 57 minutes - 91.4 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we going to go far north if only in spirit because we can't presently leave our protective bunkers. Dr. Pierre Fogal, a certified climate change hero, will take us around 80 degrees north this week as we talk about his work and his research at the Arctic Circle. Before that, we will stick closer to home with Alberta politics, and then go far afield with the intelligence report about the high-profile murder of a journalist. This Thursday, March 4, at 5 pm, ...
End Credits #188 - March 3, 2021 (To All the Boys: Always and Forever)
March 05, 2021 10:06 - 56 minutes - 90 MBThis week on End Credits, it may be March, but we're still in the mood for love. Our movie this week will take us back to high school and the difficult balancing act of school, romance, and the future. We're reviewing To All the Boys: Always and Forever, and we're also going to talk about another love affair, Hollywood's love of affirmation through the awarding of gold statues. This Wednesday, March 3, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Golden Jeers. The Golden Gl...
GUELPH POLITICAST #263 - They Had Concerns
March 03, 2021 09:56 - 35 minutes - 57.3 MBYou may remember Xinyi, a Chinese glass manufacturer that wanted to try and build a plant just next door in Guelph/Eramosa Township. All but one of the township's councillors rejected the proposal in the wake of wide-spread public outcry about the effect on the local environment, especially the water supply, and that seemed to be the end of that. It wasn't. The story then moved to Stratford. Last fall, it was announced that Xinyi was trying again in the Festival City, and this time they had...
Open Sources Guelph #315 -February 25, 2021
March 01, 2021 09:55 - 57 minutes - 91.6 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we will wrap up the month with a multifaceted discussion that will take us from the present, to the future, and back to the past. We will look at the contentious debate about a certain Conservative motion this week, and we will look at the provincial conservatives move to... protect the environment? In the back half, we're talking again about Facebook's world takeover, and we'll remember a notable bit of Canadian political history. This Thursday, February ...
End Credits #187 - February 24, 2021 (Sound of Metal)
February 26, 2021 09:38 - 56 minutes - 90.7 MBThis week on End Credits, we're going to appreciate the gift of hearing a bit more after seeing this week's movie. Our review on this episode is the new drama Sound of Metal, which features a couple of great performances, and some excellent sound design. Less excellent though are the people we will be talking about in this week's news items. This Wednesday, February 24, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Show Us the Money! Back when all theatres were open, it was a ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #262 – The View From the GRCA Board
February 24, 2021 09:54 - 46 minutes - 74.9 MBIt's a difficult time for conservation authorities across Ontario. Pandemic? Yeah, that’s part of it. Conservation authorities can’t take part in their usual programming, and they’ve lost normally dependable funds because of that, plus there are all the new precautions they have to take in areas of their parks that are open. But that’s just the beginning of the current headaches for conservation authorities. Back in November, the Ontario government announced the 2020-21 provincial budget, ...
Open Sources Guelph#314 - February 18, 2021
February 22, 2021 10:19 - 56 minutes - 90.3 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we will consider a great many others. This episode of the show will take us from the still bruised U.S. Capitol for one senate hearing, to the red chamber of our own senate where there's very important social matters being debated. From there, we'll talk about election misses on the east coast, and the aforementioned salesmen above. This Thursday, February 18, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Acquitted Place. Even though it was th...
End Credits #186 - February 17, 2021 (Judas & the Black Messiah)
February 19, 2021 09:54 - 56 minutes - 89.9 MBThis week on End Credits we're getting back on track with another tribute to Black History Month. Judas and the Black Messiah is the movie we're reviewing on this episode of the show, and perhaps in keeping with the theme, we will also talk about the week's news, which was all about problematic white celebrities doing and saying gross and inappropriate things. This Wednesday, February 17, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The New Cancelled. It was quite a week for ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #261 - The Impossible Return of Con-G
February 17, 2021 10:02 - 36 minutes - 58.9 MBFrom 2009 to 2014, a group of University of Guelph students who were fans of gaming, comics, anime and other geeky things organized a yearly winter convention designed to bring people together and share their passions. It was perfect in its way, but all good things must come to an end, but sometimes they come back, and they come back at the most surprising times. In so much as the demise of Con-G had to do with the core group of now-former U of G students growing apart, and moving on to ad...
Open Sources Guelph #313 - February 11, 2021
February 15, 2021 10:06 - 55 minutes - 88.9 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we've not news, analysis and a healthy dose of informed speculation.
