End Credits #REPEAT - August 24, 2022
August 26, 2022 09:33 - 57 minutes - 92 MBThis week on End Credits, we're on vacation. For the next two weeks, actually. We're getting back to nature, you see. We found this charming little summer camp in New Jersey with a sterling name. Sure, there's some local legend about a boogeyman living in the woods, but what are the odds any of that stuff is true? Now where did I leave my hockey mask? Camping Out! There's a legend around here. A movie review show on community radio buried, but not dead. A curse on CFRU, a silly curse. End ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #Repeat - Wheatley’s Still There
August 24, 2022 09:27 - 43 minutes - 70 MBA year ago this coming Friday, the people of Wheatley, Ontario, part of the municipality of Chatham-Kent in the south west corner of the province, were just sitting there minding their own business around diner time when - BOOM! - two downtown buildings blew up. It feels like we don't talk enough about how a small town in Ontario exploded last summer, so for our second of two repeats, let's talk about it again. Last summer, the Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and...
Open Sources Guelph #388 - August 18, 2022
August 22, 2022 09:58 - 56 minutes - 91.1 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're back! After enjoying some bee-free time outdoors, we're back in our respective bunkers and ready to get down to business as unusual. To wit, Ontario's premier had some bee troubles to go with all the other troubles he's bee'n facing lately, which are nothing compared to the troubles facing a certain Florida man. What else? How about a talk with a doctor *and* a politician? This Thursday, August 18, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will dis...
End Credits #REPEAT - August 17, 2022
August 19, 2022 09:31 - 57 minutes - 91.6 MBThis week on End Credits, we're on vacation. For the next two weeks, actually. We're getting back to nature, you see. We found this charming little summer camp in New Jersey with a sterling name. Sure, there's some local legend about a boogeyman living in the woods, but what are the odds any of that stuff is true? Now where did I leave my hockey mask? Camping Out! There's a legend around here. A movie review show on community radio buried, but not dead. A curse on CFRU, a silly curse. End ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #Repeat - Hey, Remember the Freedom Convoy?
August 17, 2022 09:29 - 56 minutes - 90.2 MBThe "official" end of the Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa was Wednesday February 23, but it was a long road to get there, and it wasn't really the end. Although the COVID-19 mandates that sparked the convoy have long since lifted, the anger and disinformation generated by the movement are still with us, and so is the fallout the Federal government's call to use the Emergencies Act. Let's look back at how it started... On this week's first of two repeat episodes of the podcast, we revisit ...
Open Sources Guelph #REPEAT - August 11, 2022
August 15, 2022 09:30 - 57 minutes - 92.1 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re saying ‘goodbye’. Wait! No, you did not miss the sudden cancellation of our show. Your dedicated local newsies are still very much in the game, but like many games there’s a half-time, and we’ve entered ours. For the next couple of weeks, we’re going into the OSG archives with some our recent insights and interviews. Soon, we shall return with so much newness, you won’t know what hit you! Vacation Days. In case it wasn’t clear in the previous paragrap...
End Credits #260 - August 10, 2022 (Trainwreck/X)
August 12, 2022 09:58 - 57 minutes - 91.8 MBThis week on End Credits, we're doing one last show before a summer vacation*. Yes, it's summer, and that means it's a time for rock concerts and road trips, and by sheer coincidence, that's what this week's show is about. In a rare double review, we will talk about the new Netflix doc about Woodstock '99 and the best homage to Texas Chainsaw Massacre you'll ever see! This Wednesday, August 10, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: REVIEW: Trainwreck: Woodstock '99 (...
GUELPH POLITICAST #336 – Story Time
August 10, 2022 09:40 - 42 minutes - 68.7 MBWe’ve talked about a lot of heavy stuff on the podcast this year - the pandemic, sexual violence, trans healthcare, mental health and reconciliation all to name a few. So before we take a summer break* it felt like we needed a safe space, somewhere serene where we can get back to nature and just talk like two people. In other words, we just need someone to tell us a story. This week's guest is Jay Wilson who's an actor, puppeteer, elocutionist, vaudevillian, writer, producer, and director....
Open Sources Guelph #REPEAT - August 4, 2022
August 08, 2022 09:27 - 57 minutes - 91.4 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re saying ‘goodbye’. Wait! No, you did not miss the sudden cancellation of our show. Your dedicated local newsies are still very much in the game, but like many games there’s a half-time, and we’ve entered ours. For the next couple of weeks, we’re going into the OSG archives with some our recent insights and interviews. Soon, we shall return with so much newness, you won’t know what hit you! Vacation Days. In case it wasn’t clear in the previous paragrap...
End Credits #259 - August 3, 2022 (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On)
August 05, 2022 09:00 - 56 minutes - 90.4 MBThis week on End Credits, we're searching for meaning. It's a big, complicated world out there, and it's sometimes hard to make sense the craziest in it, so why not let a little shell show us the way? Marcel the Shell With Shoes On will try and fill us with hope and charm this week, and along the way, we will also talk about some of our favourite flicks from the year so far. This Wednesday, August 3, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: So Far So Good. The year 2022 i...
GUELPH POLITICAST #335 - The Year at Council So Far...
August 03, 2022 09:28 - 1 hour - 98.4 MBWhat kind of year has it been at Guelph city council? A busy one. Things have been pretty much nonstop at city hall so far as council business was concerned, which makes sense because this is an election year, and there was a lot of business to finish. In these very consequential seven months of 2022, what were the highlights and lowlights of the work around the horseshoe? What happened, how did it happen, and why? These are the questions we deal with on this week's podcast as we recap hou...
Open Sources Guelph #387 - July 28, 2022
August 01, 2022 09:48 - 57 minutes - 91.7 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we’re thinking about summer vacation.* Before we take a couple of weeks off though, we’ve got a few news items to discuss and an interview to do. In the first half of the show, we will catch up with the battle for Ukraine, and the battle against conspiracy believers right here at home. In the second half, a discussion about healthcare issues with someone who’s in the business. This Thursday, July 28, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss...
End Credits #258 - July 27, 2022 (Nope)
July 29, 2022 09:17 - 57 minutes - 91.8 MBThis week on End Credits, we're looking up. He raise our eyes to the skies, but failing that, we will raise them to the big screen again as we go back to theatres for the latest movie from horror maestro Jordan Peele. Yes, we're reviewing Nope, Peele's third movie, and speaking of third movies we'll hit IMDb to look at how other directors tackled their number threes. This Wednesday, July 27, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Big Threes. This week we're reviewing th...
GUELPH POLITICAST #334 - Moving the Needle Downtown
July 27, 2022 09:04 - 45 minutes - 72.5 MBWhen you think about helping Guelph’s most vulnerable downtown, you think of Chalmers. They’ve been doing it for decades, and they’ve continued to do it though good economic times and bad. While the politicians look for policy and funding remedies, the good people at Chalmers are on the frontlines of the issue every day, so how do they see issues of poverty, homelessness, and mental health as they currently stand downtown? What do you think about when you hear the words “Downtown Guelph”? I...
Open Sources Guelph #386 - July 21, 2022
July 25, 2022 09:03 - 57 minutes - 92.1 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're thinking charitably. The Pope is coming, so we're going to put away our sinful ways and talk about his visit, plus the pressing need to take desperate action on housing in Canada. In the back half of the show, we will talk about the local effects of the housing crisis, and other matters, with the head of Guelph's city council, none other than Mayor Cam Guthrie! This Thursday, July 21, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Pope Go...
End Credits #257 - July 20, 2022 (Thor: Love & Thunder)
July 22, 2022 09:11 - 56 minutes - 89.9 MBThis week on End Credits we summon the lightening! We're back, and so is the God of Thunder for our first deep dive into a Marvel movie in literally years. Yes, we're reviewing Thor: Love and Thunder on this week's show, and since we're going back into the Marvel Universe, we'll spend the first part of our show talking about our thoughts about the MCU's future. This Wednesday, July 20, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Matters of the Universe. By the end of the y...
GUELPH POLITICAST #333 - The View from Brampton
July 20, 2022 09:48 - 1 hour - 96.2 MBOn Monday, Patrick Brown announced that he would be running for re-election as the Mayor of Brampton. It was a no-brainer because it seemed pretty unlikely that he's going to get back in the Conservative leadership race, but it’s far from certain that Brown has the political juice to even get his old (current) job back. This week, we look at Brown’s controversies through the eyes of someone that knows them best. If you don’t follow Brampton City Hall closely, Brown had a great story going ...
Open Sources Guelph #385 - July 14, 2022
July 18, 2022 09:22 - 56 minutes - 90.6 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're throwing ourselves out of the party. It's a busy week for Conservative leadership drama between recent developments here in Canada, and on the other side of the pond in the United Kingdom. In between all this drama, we will talk about the challenges facing our healthcare system, and that thing that happened last Friday, which reminded everyone that we're much more connected online than we think... This Thursday, July 14, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam...
End Credits #256 - July 13, 2022 (The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent)
July 15, 2022 09:09 - 57 minutes - 91.4 MBThis week on End Credits, we will summon our shamanic instincts to better understand our movie of the week. That's a joke from The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, a new movie where Nic Cage plays Nic Cage in a Nic Cage movie inside a Nic Cage movie. If that isn't confusing enough, we will spend the other part of the show talking about other Nic Cage movies. This Wednesday, July 13, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Cage Match. This week's movie review deals wit...
GUELPH POLITICAST #332 - Rookies No More!
July 13, 2022 09:37 - 50 minutes - 80.6 MBWhile every city council term brings its own unique challenges, it’s safe to say that no one's seen challenges quite as unique as the ones experienced over the last two-and-a-half years. As we head into summer break for council, and as we head toward the final month of nominations to run in the October 24 municipal election, we're sitting down with Guelph’s newest city councillors to talk about their experiences. The Strategic Plan, the Community Plan, COVID-19, homelessness, mental health ...
Open Sources Guelph #384 - July 7, 2022
July 11, 2022 10:12 - 57 minutes - 91.4 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're going back to the swamp. It's been a pretty consequential week for anyone that wants to see You-Know-Who held to account, and speaking of losers, we will talk about all the ways that some people are making life harder for all our LGBTQ2+ friends. In the second half of the show, we will go out into Wellington County to make new friends... who will soon retire from politics. This Thursday, July 7, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discus...
End Credits #255 - July 6, 2022 (Elvis)
July 08, 2022 09:23 - 57 minutes - 91.5 MBThis week on End Credits we're going to drop the needle. Even though we're a movie show, our focus this week is music, or rather movies about music. We talk about the now in theatres story about the one and only Elvis, and to match it, we're going to spend the first part of the show talking about movies we like where music and musicians are the star. This Wednesday, July 6, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Sing for the Movie. Since the addition of recorded sound t...
GUELPH POLITICAST #331 – The Edinburgh Conundrum
July 06, 2022 09:03 - 54 minutes - 87.9 MBThe rail crossing on Edinburgh Road has been the site of some controversy lately. The City of Guelph initiated the study of seven different street level rail crossings along the Metrolinx line across town, and they determined that there was one crossing that they had to look at a lot more closely. The implications could be big, so this week, we're going to sit down and talk things out. Back in 2020, just a couple of weeks before you-know-what, the City of Guelph announced that they were clo...
Open Sources Guelph #383 - June 30, 2022
July 04, 2022 09:36 - 56 minutes - 90 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we end the month by catching up with the news, and boy there was a lot of it. From the United States will talk about the inevitable and closer to home we will talk about the new front bench at Queen's Park. In the second half of the show, we'll look at the UCP leadership race out west before tracing our way back home and the potential reprise of everyone's favourite convoy. This Thursday, June 30, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: ...
End Credits #254 - June 29, 2022 (Everything Everywhere All at Once)
July 01, 2022 09:39 - 56 minutes - 90.9 MBThis week on End Credits, we recognize that this is only one version of the show. In the unlimited spectrum of the multiverse, we may have reviewed Everything Everywhere All at Once already, or we may not have reviewed it at all. But we did review it this week, and along with that, we will take a look at other movies dealing with multiple realities. This Wednesday, June 29, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Altered Slates. There are an infinite number of alternat...
GUELPH POLITICAST #330 – Still COVID (Series Finale)
June 29, 2022 09:46 - 36 minutes - 58.3 MBIt was at the beginning of March 2020 when Dr. Mercer first appeared on the Guelph Politicast to talk about COVID-19: What would happen if, and when, COVID-19 came to Canada? A few weeks later, COVID was here. After that, Dr. Mercer became a regular guest on this podcast, stopping by once every quarter to talk about the pandemic, and now we have arrived at this, the final edition of "Still COVID." Since the last "Still COVID" in mid-March, we’ve seen a lot of the mandates rolled back, and e...
Open Sources Guelph #382 - June 23, 2022
June 27, 2022 09:17 - 55 minutes - 88.3 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we consider change. Out of Toronto there was a report about policing that proved the worst case scenario, but will those numbers make a distance? Also, might this be the last session of the Canadian government led by the current prime minister? Some people think it's possible. In the back half? We will work through some change of our own by talking to some local Indigenous voices. This Thursday, June 23, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will dis...
End Credits #253 - June 22, 2022 (Hustle)
June 24, 2022 09:34 - 56 minutes - 90.7 MBThis week on End Credits we will get into sports, or as we like to call it, "the final frontier." (Film nerd joke.) We're reviewing the new sports drama Hustle on this edition of the show, and of course we're here for the acting, and not the ball throwing. And since we're already here for the acting, we're going to talk about comedic actors who can make you laugh, and make you cry. This Wednesday, June 22, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Why So Serious? This week'...
GUELPH POLITICAST #329 - Reconciliation, As a Municipal Matter
June 22, 2022 09:55 - 48 minutes - 77.1 MBWith this being National Indigenous History Month it seems appropriate to look at how our local government is adapting to make Indigenous communities a more active part of governance at City Hall. How can we acknowledge the history of the land and then refuse to give the traditional landholders more of a say in what happens upon it? We can't, and staff members at the City of Guelph are working on that. It was this time last year when we were all reckoning with our thoughts and feelings abo...
Open Sources Guelph #381 - June 16, 2022
June 20, 2022 09:27 - 57 minutes - 91.5 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we get back into the swamp. We go back south of the border to talk again about the long corruptible coattails of Donald Trump, and we will also take some time to catch up with the latest from the Conservative leadership race here in Canada. For the second half of the show, we will say an official goodbye to another Friend of OSG who's decided to retire from politics. This Thursday, June 16, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: "It's B...
End Credits #252 - June 15, 2022 (Jurassic World Dominion)
June 17, 2022 09:04 - 55 minutes - 89.6 MBThis week on End Credits it's din-o-mania! If it's summer, then it's time to start running and screaming from CGI dinosaurs, and that's what will happen again with our review of Jurassic World Dominion, the sixth in the series. Before that we will go back to the summer of 1993 and talk not about the original Jurassic Park, but other non-dinosaur movies from that year. This Wednesday, June 15, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Class of '93. Famously, the original Jur...
GUELPH POLITICAST #328 - Noah’s Arc
June 15, 2022 09:53 - 55 minutes - 88.2 MBIn his first book, Learning to Live: From the Loss of My Parents to Mental Health Advocate, Noah Irvine writes his memoirs. It might seem a bit weird for a 21-year-old kid from Guelph to put down his life story for posterity, but it's a story that's as remarkable as it is recognizable. Noah might have become a statistic, but instead he became an advocate. Now he wants to tell you why. You’ve probably heard of Noah because he’s been featured in a lot of different local and national media out...
Open Sources Guelph. #380 - June 9, 2022
June 13, 2022 09:27 - 55 minutes - 89.7 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, it's time to get back to normal. Following Election Day (and our Election Night special) we will take a broader look at the provincial results and talk about where we go from here, and then we will catch up with recent developments in Ukraine, where there is still a battle for control of the country. In the back half of the show: You know him, you love him, and you just re-elected him! This Thursday, June 9, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will...
End Credits #251 - June 8, 2022 (Firestarter 2022)
June 10, 2022 09:48 - 57 minutes - 91.8 MBThis week on End Credits, we didn't start the fire. That line is from a song, and not from the remake of the movie based on the book written by Stephen King. That's the long-winded way of saying that this week we're reviewing the new version of Firestarter, and since King is on the menu, we will tee up the review with a look at some all time King Klassics. This Wednesday, June 8, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Three Kings. In the annals of publishing, there's ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #327 - Queer as Faith
June 08, 2022 09:26 - 44 minutes - 70.6 MBMuch of the hate and vitriol aimed at the LGBTQ+ people comes from religious communities still promoting ideas in the 21st century that being anything other than straight and cisgender is a violation of centuries of religious dogma. How can you find a faith space where you can be respected and accepted as openly queer? That's a good question for the “Rainbow Papa-Bear”! There’s a certain term you’ll hear used in this conversation: “The Clobber Passages.” This is from a book by Reverend Doct...
Open Sources Guelph Election Special - June 2, 2022
June 06, 2022 09:32 - 1 hour - 157 MBYou know it, you love it, it's Election Night in Ontario!!!! Open Sources Guelph proper takes the week off after a very busy campaign season and instead your favourite local news and politics hosts will be on the air later in the evening with all the results, insights, trivia and Simpsons references that you've come to both love and dread with CFRU's election night coverage. Join us, and the University Centre irregulars, for a night of politics! This Thursday, June 2, at 8 pm, Scotty Hertz...
End Credits #250 - June 1, 2022 (The Northman)
June 03, 2022 10:00 - 57 minutes - 91.5 MBThis week on End Credits, summer is here, so we're heading north! And back in time! Our trip to the north is a thousand years in the past when men ruled with swift, brutal efficiency in the name of their old gods like Odin and Freya. Yes, it's time for the viking revenge tale The Northman, and we will talk about that movie's director, and some other great, new directors. This Wednesday, June 1, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: The New Class. Filmmaking is a cutthr...
GUELPH POLITICAST #326 - Healthcare: A Pre-Election Podcast
June 01, 2022 09:29 - 46 minutes - 74.5 MBAffordability has kind of hijacked the priorities this election, but once it would have been possible to see healthcare being the number one issue of the 2022 campaign. From more funding for our overburdened hospitals, getting for-profit companies out of long-term care, and expanding coverage to mental, dental and pharma coverage, nothing throws issues of healthcare under a microscope like a global pandemic! Since the start of the pandemic, the inadequacies of our current public healthcare ...
Open Sources Guelph. #379 - May 26, 2022
May 30, 2022 09:14 - 57 minutes - 92.3 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we start the final countdown to Election Day. In our last (but not least) batch of Ontario election issues, we will talk to the woman looking to turn her vast community health experience into political action as the next Liberal MPP for Guelph, and then we will talk to a workers' rights advocate looking to shake up the system and make a case for real change at Queen's Park. This Thursday, May 26, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: T...
End Credits #249 - May 25, 2022 (Chip ’N Dale, Men, Doctor Strange)
May 27, 2022 10:09 - 54 minutes - 88 MBThis week on End Credits, it's a post-long weekend solo round. Fewer co-hosts means time for more movies, and this week, you're getting a review of three very different flicks. Cartoon chipmunks will kick-off the show with more meta references than you can stand, and then we will get serious with a three-letter word. To wrap up, a trip through the multiverse to the MCU! This Wednesday, May 25, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: REVIEW: Chip N' Dale: Rescue Rangers (2022). In the 199...
GUELPH POLITICAST #325 – These Times, They Are Triggering
May 25, 2022 09:35 - 44 minutes - 71.4 MBMay is Sexual Violence Prevention Month, but he haven't really had much time to talk about that because these last few weeks have been pretty bad for anyone concerned about equal rights. domestic abuse, gender-based violence, and the lack of balanced media coverage to give these issues the proper context. A news cycle like this demands an entire episode of this podcast to makes sense of it. A few weeks ago, an American media outlet published details from a leaked Supreme Court decision tha...
Open Sources Guelph #378 - May 19, 2022
May 23, 2022 09:52 - 57 minutes - 92.4 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, it's all election all the time! As we enter the last few weeks of the Ontario Provincial Election, we're really going to have to step up our game in getting candidates on the air, so we have two back-to-back interviews. In one corner, we've got the returning champion in green trunks, and in the other corner, we've got a young challenger wearing orange. This Thursday, May 19, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Still Like Mike? That's...
WELLINGTON-HALTON HILLS POLITICAST 2022 – Ryan Kahro, Green Party Candidate
May 20, 2022 10:11 - 40 minutes - 65.2 MBIt’s not easy being Green, the song says, and for the longest time running as the Green Party candidate in any election was seen as kind of a long shot. Mike Schreiner proved Greens can win in Ontario in 2018, and while a Green wave seems unlikely in this provincial election, Ryan Kahro thinks she can beat the odds, and more obviously, beat Ted Arnott! It’s been said many times in this podcast already that Arnott is a formidable opponent, he won 54 per cent of the vote in 2018, his eighth ...
End Credits #248 - May 18, 2022 (Operation: Mincemeat)
May 20, 2022 09:54 - 56 minutes - 90.2 MBThis week on End Credits, we get into Father's Day a little early with a pick that might well be classified as a "Dad Movie." From the less-than-well-known annals of the Second World War, we'll be reviewing the new spy drama Operation: Mincemeat. Along with that, we're going to talk about some other good war movies with our very special crossover guest host. This Wednesday, May 18, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and guest co-host Scotty Hertz will discuss: War! What is it Good For? Movies!! T...
GUELPH POLITICAST #324 - Remember Autism?
May 18, 2022 10:11 - 58 minutes - 94.4 MBBack in the early days of the Ontario government under Doug Ford it looked like their autism policy might sink them. Their initial approach to funding and support for kids with autism had the effect of uniting the entire autism lobby against them, and then the pandemic happened, and all of healthcare - from emergency to long-term care - was thrown under the microscope. So where are we on the autism file? Back in 2019, Ontario’s new PC government had a very PC idea: Give parents a lump sum a...
Open Sources Guelph #377 - May 12, 2022
May 16, 2022 10:11 - 56 minutes - 91.3 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, it's almost all election, all the time. In the first part of the show, we're going to talk about the latest Ontario election news from around the provincial campaign trail, and in the back half we will have our first local candidate interview. In between through, we're heading back to the U.S. where they're got a whole new calamity if you're a fan of reproductive rights for women. This Thursday, May 12, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will disc...
WELLINGTON-HALTON HILLS POLITICAST 2022 - Ron Patava, Consensus Party Candidate
May 14, 2022 09:29 - 41 minutes - 65.9 MBWhat is the Consensus Party? In short, they want to get rid of the party-based political system because they think partisan politics are making it hard to pass meaningful, representational democratic change. Yes, you heard that right, they want to get rid of all political parties, and yes, they understand the irony of forming a political party to get rid of political parties. The exact mechanics of how government will work without political parties will be left for Consensus Party candidate...
End Credits #247 - May 11, 2022 (The Worst Person in the World)
May 13, 2022 09:41 - 57 minutes - 91.8 MBThis week on End Credits, love is in the air.
