October 16, 2020 10:37 - 57 minutes - 78.4 MB

This week on End Credits. it's time for another deep dive into the New York arts and theatre scene with all the neuroses, personalities, and creative obsessives that come with it, and it's in black and white! This week, we're reviewing The 40-Year Old Version, and before that we will catch up with some good old fashioned movie news! This Wednesday, October 14, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The News. It's been a while since we caught up with the latest movie news...

GUELPH POLITICAST #242 - This is Halloween

October 14, 2020 09:26 - 33 minutes - 46.4 MB

We know that small businesses everywhere are struggling, but every business is struggling in its own way. Halloween is Christmas for those businesses that sell costumes, make-up, and party supplies, but there’s definitely not going to be any parties this year, and even the possibility of Trick or Treating is in doubt. So what will Halloween look like, and where does that leave the people for whom Halloween is big business? This week on the podcast, we're joined by Missy Morrow, who is the p...

Open Sources Guelph - October 8, 2020

October 12, 2020 10:14 - 55 minutes - 76.2 MB

This week on Open Sources Guelph we will take everything we know about a busy news week, pack it in a tote, and leave it in the basement to gather dust because we've got a new standard for what a busy news week looks like. So Trump got COVID, and so did, it seems, most of his senior staff, which cast this week's Vice Presidential debate  in doubt. Meanwhile in Canada, we elected a new Green leader with no problem, and we've got a new provincial election to talk about. This Thursday, Octobe...

End Credits - October 7, 2020 (The Babysitter: Killer Queen)

October 09, 2020 10:37 - 57 minutes - 78.8 MB

This week on End Credits we're going to blind you with science, and then blind you with Satan! In terms of the former, we're going to talk to a U of G professor with some expertise in the subject matter of the documentary we reviewed last week, and then, in this week's review, we cross streams again with another horror comedy that features a Satanic cult. This Wednesday, October 7, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Talk to an Expert. Last week we reviewed Kiss th...

GUELPH POLITICAST #241 - The Real Work of Helping Children and Families

October 07, 2020 09:48 - 38 minutes - 52.8 MB

There was a gathering of people in Riverside Park in late August, and even though they said that they didn't identify with QAnon, they still knew all the buzzwords like “save the children”. And then, one of the counter protestors said something interesting: “Why don’t these people, if they’re so concerned about child welfare, volunteer with a local organization that does just that?” Good idea! In that spirit, this week's episode of the podcast features Sheila Markle, the executive director ...

Open Sources Guelph - October 1, 2020

October 05, 2020 10:17 - 55 minutes - 76.6 MB

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we begin October with a discussion of the most terrible show on Earth. Yes, we will dive into the sewage of the first Presidential debate for 2020, and then we will talk about some of our own issues right here in Canada with people who think they're cops trying to arrest people on fake charges. In the realm of the real, we'll talk to a member of city council about the always controversial library project in Guelph. This Thursday, October 1, at 5 pm, Scotty...

End Credits - September 30, 2020 (Kiss the Ground)

October 02, 2020 10:28 - 56 minutes - 77.3 MB

This week on End Credits, we're going to get dirty, but it's not what you think. We're going to take a look at a documentary that covers the important need for soil in our ecosystem, and it's called, appropriately, Kiss the Ground. Before that, we will talk about the latest movie release news, and we will run the series on Spider-Man. This Wednesday, September 30, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: More Musical Chairs. As we get closer to the end of the year, the as...

GUELPH POLITICAST #240 - Catching Up with Kween

September 30, 2020 10:02 - 48 minutes - 66.8 MB

We’ve heard a lot of talk about this being a moment, and June 6 was indeed a memorable moment in the history of Guelph with over 5,000 people in Market Square to march for Black Lives Matter. It amplified of a lot of voices who don’t always get heard in our community despite best intentions, but moments pass and that one was almost four months ago. How have things been going lately? Since the Black Lives Matter march here in June, more people have been sharing their stories and experiences ...

Open Sources Guelph - September 24, 2020

September 28, 2020 10:36 - 54 minutes - 75 MB

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it's a jam-packed news week, and there's a lot of ground to cover. In Ottawa, the government is trying to avoid an election, but the truth is that everybody wants to avoid an election because the number of COVID cases are going up at alarming rates again. And speaking of elections, a new wrench was thrown into the U.S. Election, and since that looks like its so much fun, the Premier of B.C. seems to have decided he'd like to see an election too. This Thurs...

End Credits - September 23, 2020 (Tenet)

September 25, 2020 10:53 - 56 minutes - 78.1 MB

This week on End Credits, we take on a daring adventure... to the movie theatre. For the first time in the pandemic era, we will watch something on the big screen, and it's hard to get much bigger than the latest Christopher Nolan picture, which is Tenet. That's the review, and before that we will thoughtfully rank all of Nolan's other movies. This Wednesday, September 23, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Run the Series: Christopher Nolan's Movies. From a man with...

GUELPH POLITICAST #239 - On COVID-19 and Local Poverty

September 23, 2020 10:15 - 38 minutes - 52.4 MB

Eliminating poverty has been made more difficult because of the COVID-19 pandemic due to the increased number of people who have found themselves jobless, and the difficulty in delivering services to people when physical distancing being a priority. But no matter how complicated you think your life is now because of the pandemic, it’s made the life and routine of people living in poverty in Guelph almost twice as hard. The plight of the homeless was cast in stark relief when the order came ...

Open Sources Guelph - September 17, 2020

September 21, 2020 09:58 - 54 minutes - 75.1 MB

This week on Open Sources Guelph, the roof is on fire, and so is everything else. Yes, we will tackle the implications of the wildfires spreading across the U.S. west coast, and we will consider the successful gambit of the returning champion Progressive Conservative Party in New Brunswick. After those two issues, we will have another remote chat with our Member of Parliament about federal concerns on the local level. This Thursday, September 17, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson...

End Credits - September 16, 2020 (Bill and Ted Face the Music)

September 18, 2020 10:25 - 56 minutes - 78.2 MB

This week on End Credits, we have to face the music. Make that Bill and Ted Face the Music. The sequel almost 30 years in the making is the movie we're reviewing this week, and we'll see if it's nostalgia or innovation for the win. Speaking of nostalgia, we will start a whole new series of listicles that will rank the entries in some of the greatest (?) franchises of all time. This Wednesday, September 16, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Run the Series: A Night...

GUELPH POLITICAST #238 - The Future of Parkview

September 16, 2020 10:14 - 39 minutes - 54.6 MB

At the August 24 city council meeting, money from the affordable housing reserve was given to the St. Joseph’s Housing Corporation to help complete a project to provide 65 affordable units to seniors. As a delegate at that meeting, the executive director of the Drop In Centre announced that her non-profit was working on a deal of its own for supportive housing, and that became the story. This week on the podcast, Gail Hoekstra will join us to talk about the Drop In Centre's project to buy ...

Open Sources Guelph - September 10, 2020

September 14, 2020 10:41 - 56 minutes - 77.6 MB

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're going Back to School. Not really, but it's a theme, and we're going with it as one of the topics of this week's show. We're going to talk about the concerns about kids going back to school, and we're going to talk about Indigenous-Settler relations on an important anniversary. In the back half of the show, we will look at a big issue closer to home in Guelph with one of the representatives from Ward 2. This Thursday, September 10, at 5 pm, Scotty Her...

End Credits - September 9, 2020 (She Dies Tomorrow)

September 11, 2020 10:21 - 54 minutes - 74.4 MB

This week on End Credits, the movie theatres are re-open, but we're still physically distant. All this concern about being locked down and contracting a potentially deadly virus is good grist for the mill artistically speaking and we might see that in this week's review, She Dies Tomorrow. Before that though, we'll have the news! This Wednesday, September 9, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Back to Normal-ish(?) There was once high expectations that we would be bac...

GUELPH POLITICAST #237 - It's Vaccine Hesitancy, and It's Not New

September 09, 2020 10:26 - 40 minutes - 56.2 MB

What if we told you that vaccine hesitancy didn’t start with Jenny McCarthy? In 1722, not long after the first successful vaccination efforts were started in the west, there was an English preacher who argued that diseases were God’s punishment for sin, and any attempt to stop them with a vaccine was going against His will. That may sound crazy, but so do the modern world’s reasons for not getting your kids vaccinated. This week on the podcast, we're joined by University of Guelph professor...

Open Sources Guelph - September 3, 2020

September 07, 2020 10:08 - 1 hour - 84.6 MB

This week on Open Sources Guelph, there's no rest for the wicked before this Labour Day weekend. We're going to head back to the United States where the intersection of racism and police brutality is busy again thanks in no small part to the disinterest of the man in the White House. We're also going to talk about the concerning conspiracy sharing of a sitting MP, and we'll talk to an expert in how we think about why it feels like QAnon is winning (and how we can reverse the effects). This...

End Credits - September 2, 2020 (Spielberg Ranking)

September 04, 2020 10:28 - 58 minutes - 80.9 MB

This week on End Credits, we're going on vacation. In this last week of summer, we're going to take a break, and play you a little something special. We love him, you love him, and sometimes he lets us down, but most of the time he hits it out of the park. Whatever your flavour of Spielberg, this week we've got them all. This Wednesday, September 2, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Uneven Stevens (The Whole List). Earlier this summer, we produced a multi-part list where we organiz...

GUELPH POLITICAST #236 - What Will School Look Like?

September 02, 2020 09:53 - 1 hour - 94.7 MB

This is the last week of summer, and it’s typically a time of great excitement for kids and parents alike. This year though, there is also more than a little amount of trepidation because going back to school means something very different in the era of COVID-19. Perhaps this will help. We're going to look at what your school might look like when you, or your child, are heading back to it in the next couple of weeks. As we’ve seen in the news over the last few days, the details around back...

Open Sources Guelph - August 27, 2020

August 31, 2020 10:31 - 55 minutes - 75.7 MB

Welcome to the black parade! That My Chemical Romance tune is front of mind on this week's Open Sources Guelph as we watch the Republican Party at their convention tell a horror story that's supposed to make Joe Biden look like a Stephen King villain in clown make-up. We'll discuss that, and we'll talk about our own new Conservative Party leader here in Canada. and then, in the back half, we'll talk to one of the councillors from Guelph's south end. This Thursday, August 27, at 5 pm, Scott...

August 28, 2020 10:43 - 56 minutes - 77.3 MB

Coming up this week on End Credits, it's the end of summer! Well, almost. To mark the occasion, we will look at the ultimate summer movie, a introspective slow west movie about the first cow in Oregon in the 19th century! Hold on, you may actually want to hear about this movie, and you will also want to hear the second part of our ultimate summer movie list. This Wednesday, August 26, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: A Farewell to Summer Blockbusters Part 2 of 2. S...

GUELPH POLITICAST #235 - The Council Year So Far

August 26, 2020 10:20 - 1 hour - 85 MB

Normally there are no August city council meetings, but as we all know in 2020 what's normal got up, walked out of the room, and threw itself down the stairs. Having three city council meetings in August is unusual, but it's hardly the most unusual thing about this political year, and to make sense of everything that's happened at council so far in 2020, we're going to do a recap. Looking back at the council year so far, there are a lot of interesting developments. It's not just the variety...

Open Sources Guelph - August 20, 2020

August 24, 2020 10:22 - 55 minutes - 76.5 MB

This week there's a surprising amount of news for the middle of August on Open Sources Guelph. There's election news out of the United States, but more surprisingly, there's election news out of Canada as one of the Atlantic provinces is going to polls. Will there be a Federal election in Canada? Not for a month thanks to some shadiness by Justin Trudeau, which might be the name of a book published by Rebel Media, which we will also talk about. This Thursday, August 20, at 5 pm, Scotty Her...

End Credits - August 19, 2020 (Nobody Knows I'm Here)

August 21, 2020 10:22 - 56 minutes - 77.3 MB

This week on End Credits, we're getting ready to say goodbye to summer. This week's movie review takes us to the cold, drab island off the coast of Chile where nothing ever good happens, which is a solid message for the end of August in a pandemic. We're talking about Nobody Knows I'm Here, and we're looking back at the best summer blockbusters of yester-year. This Wednesday, August 19, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: A Farewell to Summer Blockbusters Part 1 of 2...

GUELPH POLITICAST #234 - WE: A Personal Story

August 19, 2020 10:58 - 35 minutes - 48.3 MB

WE has turned into something of a national scandal, but the truth is that there have been a lot of questions about the way WE does business for a long time, and only some of it's been recently exposed. The little non-profit that could, fighting child labour and promoting sustainability around the world, is now at the centre of the biggest political story in Canada in 2020, but what about the personal story? This week on the podcast, Eli Ridder will take over hosting duties and talk to Humbe...

Open Sources Guelph - August 13, 2020

August 17, 2020 10:55 - 55 minutes - 76.6 MB

In Canada, people are protesting [checks notes] the best advice of public health to protect them from a deadly pandemic (?). And, in Guelph, people are protesting the potential alteration of a major public park. These week, we'll try and shed some light on all these issues.

August 14, 2020 10:47 - 57 minutes - 79.3 MB

This week on End Credits, we're in the mood for love. For our review this week, we've got a New York flavoured rom-com the makes you forget that there's a pandemic outside and that living in Manhattan is expensive, and it's called Almost Love.

Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Re-opening News. Are we getting...

GUELPH POLITICAST #233 - Parks or Wreck

August 12, 2020 09:59 - 29 minutes - 39.9 MB

Despite conventional wisdom about there being no news in August, over 100 people went to Margaret Greene Park last week to confront City councillors, staff, and Metrolinx reps about a plan to build a traction power substation in a portion of the park. The events in the west end capture in a microcosm of big concerns about public engagement, and development running roughshod over neighbourhood concerns. As you've surely heard,  Metrolinx, the crown corporation that owns and operates GO Tran...

Open Sources Guelph - August 5, 2020

August 10, 2020 10:11 - 55 minutes - 75.9 MB

This week on Open Sources Guelph, there are a lot of unknowns. Will there be a proper school year with COVID still a thing? Are we ignoring Canada's growing far-right extremism and conspiracy theorists? And what about future political leaders, who is going to run alongside Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket, and who will lead the Green Party of Canada into the next election? This week, we'll try to get some answers. This Thursday, August 6, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will ...

August 07, 2020 10:47 - 55 minutes - 76.5 MB

This week on End Credits, we're going to enjoy a taste of summer as usual, still watching movies at home, but watching movies that best suit a summer's day at the multiplex.

This Wednesday, August 5, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Uneven Stevens Epilogue. For the l...

GUELPH POLITICAST #232 - Behind the Scenes of the Remote Council

August 05, 2020 10:13 - 41 minutes - 57.1 MB

City council is one of those things that has more less operated the same way for decades, You’ve got your elected officials, and the relevant City staff around the big central table, media covers the goings on from their appointed desk, and there’s a gallery full of spectators and supplemental staff who will take part in the meeting when called upon. It’s simple, and it’s how things have always been done... at least until COVID-19. As part of its COVID-19 emergency measures, the Ontario gov...

Open Sources Guelph - July 30, 2020

August 03, 2020 10:52 - 55 minutes - 76 MB

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it's going to be a Canadian affair with a splash of conspiracy. From coast to coast to coast, people are talking about the controversy that rhymes with "Me", but there are concerns in select localities including questions about mass murder on the East coast, and questions about the limits of Free Speech in Alberta. And speaking of Free Speech, yes, we have to talk again about conspiracies.   This Thursday, July 30, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donald...

End Credits - July 29, 2020 (Colour Out of Space)

July 31, 2020 10:04 - 55 minutes - 76.2 MB

This week on End Credits, we're all about the Colour. It's not real, but it is spectacular, and it's the basis for this week's review, Colour Out of Space, which is now streaming on Netflix. Before that though, we will finish off our ultimate ranking of Spielberg film, and there may be some discussion about a tough weekend for loses in the film industry.   This Wednesday, July 29, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss:   Uneven Stevens Part 3 of 3. Forty-five years ag...

GUELPH POLITICAST #231 – Big Concerns for Small Business

July 29, 2020 10:36 - 1 hour - 86.7 MB

This week, we’re going to talk about small business, and we’re going to talk about it from two sides: the nation-wide trends on how entrepreneurs are trying to survive the pandemic, and a unique local example from a small business owner who has loudly and publicly asked for more help as we’re entering this important recovery phase of the crisis. How's business? It's complicated.   If you’re an entrepreneur running your own small business, and especially if that business depends on the regu...

Open Sources Guelph - July 23, 2020

July 27, 2020 10:37 - 54 minutes - 75.5 MB

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we are once again overwhelmed by the dregs of living in the year 2020. On the one hand, we've got stormtroopers on the streets of American cities, and a burgeoning blowback of abuse and assault allegations here in Canada. On top of that, we've got work issues in spite of the pandemic, and those pesky fascistic and colonial statues aren't going anywhere. What happened to a slow, summer news week?   This Thursday, July 23, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. ...

End Credits - July 22, 2020 (Relic)

July 24, 2020 10:07 - 56 minutes - 77.4 MB

This week on End Credits, even though we're in the middle of another summer heat wave, this new episode of the show might send a chill down your spine. For our review this week, we're going to discuss the new family-bases horror flick Relic, and before that we will continue our career recap of the man with the beard (and the box office).   This Wednesday, July 22, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss:   Uneven Stevens Part 2 of 3. Forty-five years ago this summer, ...

GUELPH POLITICAST #230 - Messaging on a Bottle

July 22, 2020 10:12 - 45 minutes - 63 MB

It’s hard to imagine a more personal environmental issue for many in Guelph than water. We’re a community that gets our drinking water from ground sources, and that means we have to be even more guarded about potential threats to those sources, which has long included private water taking operations. Some big changes are coming in that sector as you might have heard, and we’re going to get perspective from an activist and a politician.   A few weeks ago, the Government of Ontario announced...

Open Sources Guelph - July 16, 2020

July 20, 2020 10:24 - 55 minutes - 76.9 MB

With the literal spectre of death hanging over us, we will convene this week's episode of Open Sources Guelph. On this week's show, we have four very big topics to discuss including the latest on the WE scandal, the latest on the investigation into a downed plane in Iran, and how COVID and cancel culture is destroying America, but the government is talking only one of those seriously. This Thursday, July 9, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: WE Need to Talk. There s...

End Credits - July 15, 2020 (Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado)

July 17, 2020 10:52 - 55 minutes - 75.6 MB

This week on End Credits we enter a realm of the mysterious and the unknowable where only the stars have the answer you seek. If you think that's over-the-top wait until you see the subject of this week's review, which is entitled Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado. We'll have that, and we'll also kick-off our latest listicle series featuring a very famous "Steven." This Wednesday, July 15, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Uneven Stevens Part 1 of 3. Fo...

GUELPH POLITICAST #229 - Black Votes Matter!

July 15, 2020 10:31 - 42 minutes - 58.3 MB

This is where the hard work of changing the system, and combating systemic racism, begins. For almost two months there have been marches, demonstrations and meetings all designed to promote the cause, but if we’re going to tear down the system, and build something more equitable, it's going to be a more long term fight. So how do we begin? Why don’t we begin with this podcast? This week, Velma Morgan, the Chair of Operation Black Vote Canada, joins us to talk about how we get more represen...

Open Sources Guelph - July 9, 2020

July 13, 2020 09:59 - 58 minutes - 79.8 MB

Get some friends together and watch this week's episode of Open Sources Guelph! (Maybe not those ^^^ friends.) We're going to talk about those friends and the disturbing allegations around them, and we're also going to talk about the latest protests erupting from China's newest crackdown in Hong Kong. After that, we're going to catch up (virtually) with a member of our own local city council to talk about some of the latest developments in Guelph news. This Thursday, July 9, at 5 pm, Scott...

End Credits - July 8, 2020 (Brittany Runs a Marathon)

July 10, 2020 10:49 - 56 minutes - 76.9 MB

This week on End Credits, we're getting in shape. Actually, we're going to watch other people get in shape because self-improvement is best left to the people in the movies; we're just trying to survive COVID-19 here. Speaking of which, the effects of the pandemic still weigh heavily on the news of the week even though we're still making future plans. This Wednesday, July 8, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: News of the Week. In this week's round up of the latest mo...

GUELPH POLITICAST #228 - Still COVID with Doctor Mercer

July 08, 2020 10:48 - 39 minutes - 54.8 MB

Our area has been under Stage 2 of the re-opening for nearly a month now, and people are eagerly looking for signs that we might soon enter the final stage. Still, our position is precarious. We see what is happening in the United States, and if there’s one thing that we can all agree on, it’s that we do not want to re-enter lockdown. So shall we get a doctor’s advice on how to avoid all that? This week, we're joined by Dr. Nicola Mercer, who is the Medical Officer of Health for Wellington ...

Open Sources Guelph - July 2, 2020

July 06, 2020 10:35 - 52 minutes - 71.7 MB

This week on Open Sources Guelph, the Canada Day long weekend is five days long, and we've got to work! On the plus side (?) there's so much work to do, and so many stories to cover. Considering the holiday, we will look at the issue of our beloved prime ministerial statues, and how the current PM is making it rain for his friends. After the break, we'll look at the latest foreign policy controversy for the White House and the political question of mandatory masks. This Thursday, July 2, a...

End Credits - July 1, 2020 (Scare Package)

July 03, 2020 10:16 - 55 minutes - 76.4 MB

This week on End Credits, it's a holiday episode. As fate would have it, this week's episode falls on Canada Day proper, which makes us want to look at the movies from here at home to celebrate, and if you feel like celebrating, we'll tell you where you can find some great Canadian films. After that, pull the drapes and get under the covers because we've got a horror movie anthology to review. This Wednesday, July 1, at 2 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Streaming Ca...

GUELPH POLITICAST REPLAY - A History of Guelph's Birthdays

July 01, 2020 10:09 - 27 minutes - 37.1 MB

This week, in honour of Canada Day, we have a repeat of the podcast. That doesn't make a lot of sense, but it is a holiday, and we could all use a nice break from the routine and skullduggery of the pandemic news cycle. So let's revisit happier times from the recent and distant pasts. In 2017, as Canada celebrated the 150th anniversary of its creation, we looked back at how Guelph marked its own birthday over the years. Today, Guelph’s 200th anniversary is less than seven years away, and d...

Open Sources Guelph - June 25, 2020

June 29, 2020 10:14 - 55 minutes - 75.9 MB

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're going to take a break from the ongoing stories that have so pre-occupied us these last few weeks to revisit some golden oldies. We've got Canada-China relations, we've got some Donald Trump stuff, and we've got the Conservative leadership race for a well-rounded news diet.
