End Credits #307 - July 26, 2023 (Barbie)
July 28, 2023 09:32 - 57 minutes - 91.5 MBThis week on End Credits, it's a Barbie world, and we are Barbie girls! (So to speak). We had to make the proverbial Sophie's Choice when it comes to "Barbenheimer" and we sided on Barbie. We will have our review of that big summer hit, and speaking of summer hits, we will talk about some of the movie news that has made this summer very interesting indeed. This Wednesday, July 26, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Newsy Much? Obviously, the big news of last weekend...
GUELPH POLITICAST #383 - The Housing Guru
July 26, 2023 09:49 - 48 minutes - 78.4 MBAs you may know, Ontario has set the goal of building 1.5 million houses by 2031, and Guelph’s share is 18,000, but there’s a difference between setting a goal and having the means to reach it. One of the people that's been trying to promote that idea is a man named Mike Moffatt. You might have heard have him. Certainly everyone concerned about housing in Ontario has! Dr. Mike Moffatt is the Senior Director of Policy and Innovation at the Smart Prosperity Institute and an Assistant Profess...
Open Sources Guelph #435 - July 20, 2023
July 24, 2023 09:12 - 56 minutes - 91.2 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we don't do summer fun, we do serious issues. One the one hand, there's a refugee crisis in Toronto that no one has an explanation for, and on the other hand you have a presidential candidate saying crazy things, and you can't call him a Republican this time. We're serious on local news too, and one of our friends from city council is stopping by to lend a first-person view on big issues facing our city hall right now. This Thursday, July 13, at 5 pm, Scot...
End Credits #306 - July 19, 2023 (The Blackening)
July 21, 2023 09:41 - 57 minutes - 92 MBThis week on End Credits, we're doing a little extension of Black History Month into July. It's also time again for some horror talk, which maybe makes this a little like Halloween Summer. Whatever the occasion, we will review the new film The Blackening, and in its spirit we will talk about some notable Black characters in horror movies who are winning even if they may not survive. This Wednesday, July 19, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Character Study. As yo...
GUELPH POLITICAST #382 - સમાચાર (The News)
July 19, 2023 09:07 - 37 minutes - 59.6 MBDhwani, which in the Gujarati-language means "The Voice" or "The Sound", launched back in March and it immediately tested a few assumptions. Could you successfully start a newspaper in the year 2023? Is there an audience for a community paper that’s specifically pitched to an ethnic community? It turns out the answer to both questions is "yes", but how big can it get? It’s been over a decade since someone tried to start a newspaper in Guelph. There have been calls, especially at the time o...
Open Sources Guelph #434 - July 13, 2023
July 17, 2023 09:43 - 56 minutes - 91.2 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, things get awkward. It's hard enough to criticize your political enemies, but what happens when you criticize your friends and then you have to fly off to Europe and see them face to face? That's one question this week, and another question is how concerned we should be about a mosquito-borne disease that's making a local-ish comeback? In the second half of the show, we will hear from the woman who hopes to hold on to a nearby riding for team orange. This T...
End Credits #305 - July 12, 2023 (Master Gardener)
July 14, 2023 09:31 - 58 minutes - 92.9 MBThis week on End Credits, we have reason to be happy and we have reason to be sad. On the happy side, we will talk about some of our favourite movies from this year, which is going to be fun. As for the sad, Paul Schrader is back with another movie, so you know what time it is. This week, we're reviewing Master Gardener, which may yet be one of the best movies of 2023! This Wednesday, July 12, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Simply the Best (of 2023 So Far). We'r...
GUELPH POLITICAST #381 - G2G Trail Fail
July 12, 2023 09:08 - 53 minutes - 85.7 MBThere’s been a lot of discussion around the council table lately about the future of cycling in Guelph and whether or not staff and council are serious enough about taking on the challenge, and some of that debate centred around the G2G Trail. While the trail is 99 per cent complete, the one per cent of the portion that’s incomplete is exclusive in that second “G” in the trail’s name, Guelph. The 132-kilometre trail runs a course from Downtown Guelph to the shores of Lake Huron and passing ...
Open Sources Guelph #433 - July 6, 2023
July 10, 2023 09:08 - 56 minutes - 90.1 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, the weather is hot, and so are the topics! It's an all news show this week as we look to some international news that happened in own backyard, and some international news that happened in France but has a very familiar tone to it. In news from across Canada, we'll talk about the problem with News Brunswick, or its premier at least, and why your favourite leader of His Majesty's loyal opposition is changing things up, for the better(?). This Thursday, July...
End Credits #304 - July 5, 2023 (Asteroid City)
July 07, 2023 09:48 - 57 minutes - 92.8 MBThis week on End Credits, we're going to a place called Asteroid City, which is not an asteroid and it's not a city. It's also not a real place, but it does look like a lovely vacation spot, or a good place to kill a couple of hours in an air conditioned movie theatre. We will make those determinations, and we will also wrap up our Indiana Jones re-watch. This Wednesday, June 28, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Run the Series: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the...
GUELPH POLITICAST #380 - Cops and Stoppers
July 05, 2023 09:06 - 44 minutes - 70.6 MBFor decades, Crime Stoppers has offered itself as a kind of investigative middleman: If you didn’t want to go to the police yourself for whatever reason, you could leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers and they would pass it along. Our local Crime Stoppers is admittedly pretty successful at what they do, and they have the awards and statistics to prove it, but what's their role 35 years from where they started? When Crime Stoppers began in the 1970s it was radical in a number of ways....
Open Sources Guelph #432 - June 29, 2023
July 03, 2023 09:41 - 57 minutes - 91.9 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're not phoning it in before the long weekend. There are some very serious issues that we need to shed a light on, including that was-it-a-coup-attempt in Russia last weekend that might have changed the game. And speaking of changing the game, is Canada about to be serviced by one big newspaper company? What about the fate of local news? In the back half of the show, nothing major, just the state of our emergency rooms in Canada. This Thursday, June 29, ...
End Credits #303 - June 28, 2023 (Polite Society)
June 30, 2023 09:45 - 57 minutes - 91.9 MBThis week on End Credits, we have wedding bell blues. Well, not us necessarily, but the heroines of this week's film do. In this episode, we watch a movie that takes us to one of those most ordinary of summer activities, going to a wedding. We're watching Polite Society, a hit from this year's Sundance Film Festival. Also, we've got another Indiana Jones to talk about. This Wednesday, June 28, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Run the Series: Indiana Jones and th...
GUELPH POLITICAST #379 - Good Games, Great Podcasting
June 28, 2023 09:41 - 39 minutes - 63.8 MBComing out of the pandemic, the future of sports and recreation has been top of mind because we were all encouraged to get outdoors during the lockdowns. It was the safest, and in some cases only, way to interact with other people and even in these non-lockdown times we’re still jonesing for outdoor experiences. That brings us to the Good Games. Can Guelph be a sports destination in these very sporty times? Originally called the Guelph Games, the Good Games were all set to go for their inau...
Open Sources Guelph #431 - June 22, 2023
June 26, 2023 09:20 - 58 minutes - 93.3 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're in a summer mood, but there's no time to relax because there's a lot going on! First, we have to talk about the loud and growing group of people that want to deny history, and speaking of history, might Toronto be on the brink of electing its first female immigrant person of colour mayor? We're not here to tell the future, but our local MPP will be here to talk about the recent past in the interview. This Thursday, June 22, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and ...
End Credits #302 - June 21, 2023 (I Like Movies)
June 23, 2023 09:34 - 57 minutes - 91.7 MBThis week on End Credits, after 301 episodes, we found the film that perfectly encapsulates the aesthetic of this show: we like movies. This week, we go for something Canadian with the coming of age story I Like Movies, and we continue on with our re-visit through the Indiana Jones series with the second of five entries. See, we do like movies! This Wednesday, June 21, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Run the Series: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. As we con...
GUELPH POLITICAST #378 - Strong Mayors Podcast
June 21, 2023 09:25 - 33 minutes - 54 MBLast Friday, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Steve Clark announced that so-called Strong Mayor powers were being extended to 26 of Ontario's biggest cities, including Guelph. The move was not shocking, and going back to the original announcement last summer, it had indeed been promised, but it was kind of surprising that Guelph's mayor was there, on stage with the minister, for the announcement. But the surprises didn't stop there. Many local media outlets, including Guelph Politi...
Open Sources Guelph #430 - June 15, 2023
June 19, 2023 08:57 - 57 minutes - 92 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're looking for reading material. Let's go to the bathroom where, naturally, you keep all your state secrets! Speaking of secrets we'll talk about the ongoing efforts to wrap our head around election interference in the last two Canadian elections, and then we'll head to the U.S. where a certain Florida Man is making trouble again. For the interview, we've got someone local with something to celebrate. This Thursday, June 15, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Ad...
End Credits #301 - June 14, 2023 (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse)
June 16, 2023 09:15 - 55 minutes - 88.5 MBThis week on End Credits, we're going in several different directions. It's almost like there's more than one of us, or perhaps there should be. Speaking of multiplicity, the movie we're reviewing this week is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, which features a spider-cast of thousands, and since we're talking about legends, we're going to take a closer look at another franchise. This Wednesday, June 14, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Run the Series: Raiders of...
GUELPH POLITICAST #377 - The Many Faces of Mike
June 14, 2023 09:24 - 40 minutes - 64.3 MBYou may know Mike Ashkewe. You might have read his insightful columns at the Guelph Mercury Tribune, or you might have heard him on the radio talking about video games and pop culture, or you might have seen him serve as vice-chair of the Accessibility Advisory Committee, or you may have run into him when he was volunteering at Chalmers downtown. But do you really know Mike Ashkewe? As you may have already guessed, Mike Ashkewe is the guest of this week's podcast. He's perhaps a kindred sp...
Open Sources Guelph #429 - June 8, 2023
June 12, 2023 09:13 - 56 minutes - 90.8 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, all we've got are the issues. In this jam-packed news week, we will head to Toronto where some renters have had enough of being held upside-down and shaken till their pennies fall out, and speaking of accommodation, we have to talk about the new digs for Canada's most well-known prisoner. In the back half of the show we're looking at bigotry, the type being suffered by our LGBTQ+ friends and the type being perpetuated some some religious extremists. This T...
End Credits #300 - June 7, 2023 (Anniversary Special)
June 09, 2023 09:40 - 57 minutes - 91.4 MBThis week on End Credits, we have cause for celebration. Some how, we've now cranked out 300 episodes of this local movie show for local movie fans, and on this distinguished occasion, we're giving our listeners the present. Congratulations, you are about to listen to the biggest draft any movie show has ever done as we look back at some of our greatest hits! This Wednesday, June 1, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson, Candice Lepage, Peter Salmon and Tim Phillips will discuss: 300! Is this is mad...
GUELPH POLITICAST #376 – The Year at Committees So Far...
June 07, 2023 09:29 - 40 minutes - 64.2 MBThe business of managing the City of Guelph goes beyond the confines of the council chambers, so starting this year Guelph Politico has expanded its meeting coverage to nine local boards and shared services committees. It's five months now, and a lot of different business has been done in those first five months, so we're going to stop and use this podcast to do a high-level overview. These are the regular meetings that Guelph Politico covers: the Accessibility Advisory Committee, Committee...
Open Sources Guelph #428 - June 1, 2023
June 05, 2023 09:02 - 55 minutes - 89.5 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we will usher in meteorological summer by casting some sunshine on key issues. For instance, there was an election this week in Alberta and it was a close one (relatively speaking in a Alberta terms), and there was more election talk in the House of Common as nobody's happy with the former Governor General investigating interference. Also, since it's summer, let's talk about farming! This Thursday, June 1, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will d...
End Credits #299 - May 31, 2023 (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3)
June 02, 2023 09:55 - 57 minutes - 92.1 MBThis week on End Credits, we head into the beautiful and forever sky. No, we're not dying, but we are going back to space with the latest edition of the Guardians of the Galaxy, who are now up to Volume 3. Along with that, we will talk about remakes, which despite what you heard are not always terrible. All this as we take one last ride before getting to 300 episodes! This Wednesday, May 24, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Fake it Till You Remake It. This past ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #375 - Everyone is Still Free to Wear Sunscreen
May 31, 2023 09:37 - 40 minutes - 65 MBJune 1 marks the start of meteorological summer and that sunny and warm weather makes you want to go into the water. You’re also - hopefully - putting on sunscreen in order to reduce the risk of skin cancer, but in the last few years there’s been some reason to question whether sunscreen is as safe for our waterways even while it protects you from UV light. Should everyone still be free to wear sunscreen? In fall 2020 there was a study out of the University of Alberta that suggested that th...
Open Sources Guelph #427 - May 25, 2023
May 29, 2023 09:44 - 57 minutes - 91.6 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're city folk! Municipal matters are top of mind on this edition of the show, as we look at independence day for three Ontario cities, and then that election to fill the vacant mayor's seat in Canada's biggest city. In the back half of the show, we will once again serve in our essential roll as the mandatory stop for all local Green Party candidates who want to get elected! This Thursday, May 25, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: ...
End Credits #298 - May 24, 2023 (Tetris)
May 26, 2023 09:15 - 56 minutes - 90.4 MBThis week on End Credits, we play to win. Completing the trifecta of recent brand origin stories at the cinema, we come around to the video game that made Game Boy and put Russia on the map as a video game maker. Yup, we're reviewing Tetris, and in honour of that big action movie that came out this weekend, we've got to say something about the art of the car chase. This Wednesday, May 24, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Coup de Chase. In honour of this past weeken...
GUELPH POLITICAST #374 - The Problem (?) With Government
May 24, 2023 09:30 - 41 minutes - 67.2 MBWe’re coming up on the end of the first year of the Ford government’s second term, and it’s been a highly consequential year if you work in one of Ontario's 444 municipalities. At times, it felt like there was an announcement every week about some change to how cities conduct oversight or run their own planning processes. It's enough to make you ask, "what will happen next?" and last week we got the answer. It’s called Bill 112, the Hazel McCallion Act, and it will turn the three municipali...
Open Sources Guelph #426 - May 18, 2023
May 22, 2023 09:45 - 58 minutes - 93.3 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we go back into the internet toilet. Yay? No, not yay, because we've got to tackle the increasing craziness of Canada's own version of U.S. culture wars (passports, anyone?), and then speaking of sewers we have to get back into the mind of a former game show host/con artist who was once the leader of the free world. For the interview this week, good news! An exemplar of the ways that labour organizing still matters. This Thursday, May 18, at 5 pm, Scotty H...
End Credits #297 - May 17, 2023 (BlackBerry)
May 19, 2023 09:09 - 56 minutes - 90 MBThis week on End Credits we'll BBM you. Are you old enough to remember BBM? Maybe it doesn't matter because the direct messaging app between BlackBerry devices is a minor plot point in the new film about the titular device. This week, we're going to review the new true Canadian story, BlackBerry, and talk about other movies about fights overs technology. This Wednesday, May 17, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Tech Wars. This week's movie is about the human confli...
GUELPH POLITICAST #373 - The Eye of the Storm
May 17, 2023 09:01 - 38 minutes - 61.1 MBIf you’ve ever been downtown on a Friday night from November to April, then you know how much of the action is centralized around the Sleeman Centre. The Guelph Storm have been a local institution since their inaugural season in 1994, a Friday night beacon for Royal City hockey fans, so in honour of all that, we’ll talk to the man who turned the Dukes of Hamilton into Guelph’s team. Mike Kelly became the first general manager of the Guelph Storm in 1991, and by the 1994-95 season the team ...
Open Sources Guelph #425 - May 11, 2023
May 15, 2023 09:36 - 57 minutes - 92.2 MBThis week's Open Sources Guelph is a down affair. What else can you say when China is making trouble again for Canadian politicians, and when things are getting so bad that making Canadians pay extra for the "privilege" of watching Fox News just isn't enough anymore. And if these two topics aren't a big enough bummer, we're going to round out the show with some discussion about animal abuse for human amusement. Sadly, it's just another Thursday in this timeline. This Thursday, May 11, at 5...
End Credits #296 - May 10, 2023 (Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret.)
May 12, 2023 09:20 - 1 hour - 99.7 MBThis week on End Credits, we grow up. Not that this is an immature enterprise, but there are some serious big-time adult issues that we have to discuss about the entertainment business, and then the movie of the week is also about growing up. We're reviewing Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret. and we're also going to talk about Hollywood's present labour strife. This Wednesday, May 3, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Walk the Line. Last week, the members of t...
GUELPH POLITICAST #372 - When Lunch Attacks
May 10, 2023 08:54 - 46 minutes - 74.7 MBThere are about 1,700 food-based businesses across the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph region, and they all get regularly inspected, but sometimes accidents happen, just like it did last month at a luncheon for International Women’s Day at an Orangeville hotel and conference centre. We've made it through the COVID-19 health emergency, but what happens when the health crisis is something we ate? On March 8th, Family Transition Place in Orangeville held their annual International Women’s Day Celeb...
Open Sources Guelph #424 - May 4, 2023
May 08, 2023 09:18 - 56 minutes - 90.3 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we would make a May the 4th joke, but we've got some serious stuff to discuss. First, there's a provincial election going in Alberta now, which is a pretty big deal, but what's happening in Sudan is even a bigger deal as violence and civil strife has erupted once again. In the second half of the show, we'll talk about issues around abortion here in Canada, and believe us there are some. This Thursday, May 4, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will...
End Credits #295 - May 3, 2023 (Beau is Afraid)
May 05, 2023 09:50 - 1 hour - 115 MBThis week on End Credits we're going to go big or go home. Well, we're going to go big and then go home because why can't we do both? We're going to try this week with a very peculiar movie from one of our most peculiar directors right now, and since he's taking a gamble, we take a gamble too by talking about other directors that like to embrace risk. This Wednesday, May 3, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Big Swings! This week's movie might be characterized as a b...
GUELPH POLITICAST #371 – They Are Legion (A May the 4th Special)
May 03, 2023 09:42 - 37 minutes - 60.8 MBSandwiched between May Day and Cinco de Mayo in the first week in May is Star Wars Day, May the 4th. It’s a portmanteau, “May the Force be with you” becomes May the 4th be with you. May the 4th. Star Wars is more than a good time at the movies for some people, but what drives someone to spend hours studying pictures and videos to figure out how to make movie accurate Stormtrooper costumes? You can call what the 501st Legion does cosplay, but that’s actually too simplistic in their case bec...
Open Sources Guelph #423 - April 27, 2023
May 01, 2023 09:05 - 56 minutes - 90.8 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're caught between the picket line and the receiving line. You may have heard that there's a strike going on right now, so we will talk about the labour issues therein, and after that we go to the other side and the crowning of a king, which apparently we're not all excited about. In the second half, we're going to talk about the future, and the past, with a member of Guelph City Council. This Thursday, April 27, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donalds...
End Credits #294 - April 26, 2023 (Quasi)
April 28, 2023 09:03 - 56 minutes - 90.5 MBThis week on End Credits we light the match on summer. Yes, we know it's still April for a few more days, but in movie terms summer is almost here, and we have decide to celebrate in the only way that we can. So we'll draft! And for the movie this week we're going back to the stream for a comedy that is sending up the funniest time in human history: Medieval France! This Wednesday, April 26, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: 2023 Summer Movie Draft. Next week, the ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #370 - The Day of Mourning Show
April 26, 2023 09:44 - 45 minutes - 73.7 MBIf it’s the end of April, then it’s time for the Workers’ Day of Mourning. For 40 years, workers across the country have stopped to remember those who lost their lives on the job and to inspire workers to fight to prevent further tragedies. It's widely considered a rare opportunity to make a point that only sometimes penetrates our common narrative: Are all workplaces as healthy and safe as they could be, and are they equally safe for everyone? According to the WSIB Ontario, the number one ...
Open Sources Guelph #422 - April 20, 2023
April 24, 2023 08:59 - 56 minutes - 90.2 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we meet some characters. Did you know that four dozen people want to be the next mayor of Toronto? Perhaps they're all animated by the potential fate of the Toronto waterfront, which is once again in the news. Some of them would likely find good company with Elon Musk who has no problem finding strange bedfellows, and speaking of strange bedfellows we need to talk about Fox News. What a week to talk smack about the news! This Thursday, April 20, at 5 pm, S...
End Credits #293 - April 19, 2023 (Renfield)
April 21, 2023 09:14 - 56 minutes - 91.2 MBThis week on End Credits, we want to suck... [turns page] Your blood! Who doesn't love a good vampire movie, especially when the story ais centred around the greatest and most famous vampire of all time. So on this episode, we're going to talk about Dracula's latest in the horror-comedy Renfield, and also talk about some of Dracula's greatest hits! This Wednesday, April 19, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Too Many Draculas! There are two characters that have be...
GUELPH POLITICAST #369 - What’s the Deal with OPA 80?
April 19, 2023 09:38 - 28 minutes - 46.3 MBThis has been an exceptionally busy week for the City of Guelph's planning department. As the staff were getting for the final approval of the new Comprehensive Zoning Bylaw this week - the first update in nearly 30 years, remember - the Government of Ontario dropped their decision on Official Plan Amendment #80, the latest version of Guelph's Official Plan. It never rains, but it pours! Cities, towns and villages all over Ontario were required to file updates to their Official Plan before...
Open Sources Guelph #421 - April 13, 2023
April 17, 2023 09:42 - 59 minutes - 95.1 MBhis week on Open Sources Guelph, we make the perfect call... to cover some recent news! Speaking of calls, we will talk about ruining your election chances with a last minute ethics investigation, and, in more serious news, we will talk about the struggle to get someone to make the call to protect women in the Winnipeg area. Closer to home, we will talk to one of our city councillors about Guelph stuff including new rec centres and big zoning changes coming soon. This Thursday, April 13, a...
End Credits #292 - April 12, 2023 (Air)
April 14, 2023 08:55 - 57 minutes - 92.1 MBThis week on End Credits, we're going to play ball with sports politics! We head out to the theatre for a good old-fashioned adult drama about business dealing and inter-personal dynamics with Air. And since that movie is sports adjacent, we will let ourselves get sports adjacent by talking about some of our favourite sports movies (with caveats). This Wednesday, April 12, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Sporty Vice. Sports movies are almost always a winner with ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #368 - The Realtor’s View of the Housing Crisis
April 12, 2023 09:35 - 51 minutes - 82.8 MBWhen we’re talking about the housing crisis we frequently talk to activists or government representatives. This is understandable, but there are a lot of pieces to the housing puzzle and we don’t lean on all of them equally, and in so much as we want to vilify the people who take part in the open housing market that so many of us are priced out of, we still need them if we’re going to have a hope in developing solutions to the crisis. So where do realtors fit in? Where do they see themselve...
Open Sources Guelph #420 - April 5, 2023
April 10, 2023 09:01 - 56 minutes - 90.9 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we witness something completely rare and unexpected in our natural world: Accountability. We join, well, everyone in the political world right now by looking to New York City where a certain Florida man had to go to court.
