WELLINGTON-HALTON HILLS POLITICAST 2022 - Diane Ballantyne, NDP Candidate
May 07, 2022 09:40 - 37 minutes - 59.8 MBWellington-Halton Hills is a big riding, extending from Puslinch to Centre Wellington and out east all the way to Erin and Halton Hills, so experience counts, and it's hard to get more experience than Ted Arnott who's represented the area since 1990. Can anyone challenge 32 years of longevity in what's a fairly safe Conservative riding? Diane Ballantyne would like to volunteer. Make no mistake, this is an uphill climb for the NDP candidate, who's running for the second time to represent We...
End Credits #246 - May 4, 2022 (The Adam Project)
May 06, 2022 09:08 - 56 minutes - 90.8 MBThis week on End Credits, we're watching the clock. Just in time for the start of the summer movie season, we're staying at home to watch the new Netflix time travel adventure The Adam Project. And time travel sounds like magic, right? Well, speaking of magic, we will spend the first part of the show talking about our favourite wizards another other magic-users. This Wednesday, May 4, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: The Wizards and Us. This week, Doctor Strange...
GUELPH POLITICAST #322 - Education is an Issue
May 04, 2022 09:26 - 42 minutes - 68.3 MBCovering education issues has been weird the last couple of years during the pandemic; while keeping schools open for in-person learning was a priority, teachers felt that their concerns weren't being heard. Now, education is struggling to be made an election priority, and education workers have been trying to put their concerns back on the frontburner since March 2020, so this seems like an interesting place to begin a provincial campaign. Ironically, education issues were very front of m...
Open Sources Guelph #375 - April 28, 2022
May 02, 2022 09:45 - 57 minutes - 91.6 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're anxious. It's like, when are we going to get to the fireworks factory Ontario Election?! That's going to be one of our topics this week, and we will also talk about the "OK Groomer" push on the far-right, and we'll have the latest from Ukraine. Interview? We've got one of those too, and this week we sit down with a Federal cabinet minister. This Thursday, April 28, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: All the Money in the World....
End Credits #245 - April 27, 2022 (The Bubble)
April 29, 2022 09:27 - 57 minutes - 91.7 MBThis week on End Credits, we would really like to know what exactly a cliff beast is? If you're already laughing, then you know that we're reviewing the new Netflix comedy The Bubble on this week's show. And since The Bubble is (in-part) a movie about Hollywood franchises, we will also look ahead to all the franchise movies coming out this summer. This Wednesday, April 27, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Box Office Mucho. For the first time in two years, we're goi...
GUELPH POLITICAST #321 – The Eviction Notice is Just the Beginning of Your Troubles
April 27, 2022 10:13 - 34 minutes - 55.9 MBIf there’s one thing we can agree on, it’s that people shouldn’t be forced out of their home after a minor dispute with their landlord. Yes, that happens, and it happens often, but it’s been happening a lot more since the Landlord and Tenant Board went virtual, and that made access to the internet another barrier to housing. This seems like something worth talking about. Just last week, there was an item from Global News noting that the five-month freeze in evictions from March to July 2020...
Open Sources Guelph #374 - April 21, 2022
April 25, 2022 09:26 - 55 minutes - 89 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we've got rights! In the second half of the show we will celebrate 40 years of having rights thanks to Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and we'll talk about that guy picture above who thinks he's the Free Speech man with a plan. For the first half though, we've still got a war in Ukraine to talk about, and there are still questions about a massacre closer to home. This Thursday, April 21, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: E...
End Credits #244 - April 20, 2022 (Flee)
April 22, 2022 10:02 - 56 minutes - 91.1 MBThis week on End Credits, we're running. Our movie of the week almost literally has "run" in the title as it tells the story of man who spent almost the entirety of his youth trying to escape. For the review this week, we're watching the three-time Academy Award-nominated movie Flee, and before that we're going to run through some other movies about escape. This Wednesday, April 20, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Escape Fan. This week's movie is about one man's ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #320 - The Queen of Craft
April 20, 2022 09:53 - 35 minutes - 57 MBHistorically, women played a pretty big role in the brewing of beer. Starting in ancient times, brewing was fairly female-dominated, but that changed in western culture around the same time the brewing process became industrialized 150 years ago. In 2022, women are trying to reclaim their place atop the brewing world thanks to the proliferation of craft breweries, and one local woman is helping to lead the way. If you’ve ever seen a beer commercial, they make it pretty obvious that women ar...
Open Sources Guelph #373 - April 14, 2022
April 18, 2022 09:55 - 56 minutes - 90.6 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, the Easter Bunny's bringing a basket full of issues. Before taking a nice, leisurely long weekend off, we're diving again into the Ukrainian War (now in it's eighth great week), and the latest in terms of Ontario's sixth wave (non) response. In the back half of the show, we're talking to our local Federal representative about that big to-do pictured above, last week's Federal budget. This Thursday, April 14, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will...
End Credits #243 - April 13, 2022 (Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood)
April 15, 2022 09:52 - 55 minutes - 89.4 MBThis week on End Credits, we look to the sky! Ever notice how the Moon's just hanging up their daring us to visit? Well, there was a time humans went to the moon, and this week's featured movie is a loving remembrance of that particular era. We're reviewing the latest Netflix hit, Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood and we're talking about other trips to the Moon. This Wednesday, April 13, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: To the Moon! Taking a jaunty trip to the ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #319 - A Movie’s Case for Kindness
April 13, 2022 09:15 - 39 minutes - 64 MBIn good company after last week's episode with Marlene director Wendy Hill-Tout, and just in time for both Canadian Film Day on April 20 and this year's edition of the Hot Docs documentary film festival starting on April 28, this week, we're talking to a documentary filmmaker. You know about the COVID-19 pandemic, but another pandemic has been affected people a lot longer. This is one of those stories. This week's episode of the podcast features actor and filmmaker Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers....
Open Sources Guelph #372 - April 7, 2022
April 11, 2022 09:53 - 57 minutes - 92 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're covering a lot of ground. In part one somehow things have gotten even worse in Ukraine, and speaking of things getting worse, we've got to talk about COVID again. In the second half of the show, we go back to Europe to check-up with the far-right's favourite western democracy, and then we come back to Canda to keep the chat about far-right stuff going. This Thursday, April 7, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Bucha Shadows. In...
End Credits #242 - April 6, 2022 (Fresh)
April 08, 2022 09:34 - 57 minutes - 91.5 MBThis week on End Credits, we've got an appetite. Under the themes of food and desire, we will review a movie that checks both of those boxes in the new film Fresh, which is is now streaming on Disney+. Before that, we will pay tribute a Hollywood actor whose decided to take his final bow and retire even though is production output has never been higher. This Wednesday, April 6, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Bruce Alrighty. Last week's announcement that Bruce ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #318 - Telling Marlene’s Story
April 06, 2022 09:24 - 36 minutes - 58.2 MBWe don’t get a lot of movie premieres here in Guelph, so when one happens it’s kind of a big deal. Coming to the Bookshelf Cinema this Friday is Marlene, the story of self-selecting Guelphites Marlene Truscott and her husband Steven Truscott, whose life story involves one of the worst miscarriages of justice in Canadian history. Now it's a movie, and according to its director, a romance at that. Steven Truscott was the youngest person ever to be sentenced to death in Canada, and it was for...
Open Sources Guelph #371 - March 31, 2022
April 04, 2022 09:24 - 57 minutes - 91.6 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, slap coverage will be kept to a minimum, unless, of course, the topic of a very immature social media post from the Alberta Premier comes up. Jason Kenney is among our topics of conversation this week, and we will also, obviously, talk about the latest war news from Ukraine. Closer to home, one of CFRU's city councillors will join us to talk about plans of the official variety. This Thursday, March 31, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discu...
End Credits #241 - March 30, 2022 (Nightmare Alley)
March 31, 2022 09:21 - 56 minutes - 90.8 MBThis week on End Credits we're reliving past successes. For our feature review on this week's show, we're looking at one of the biggest high-profile remakes of the last few years - almost Oscar-worthy - Guillermo del Toro's Nightmare Alley. And before that, we will kick off the theme by looking at other good movies that are equal to, or better, than the original versions. This Wednesday, March 30, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Remake Redemptions. Yes, this week...
GUELPH POLITICAST #317 - Is the End of the Pandemic*?
March 30, 2022 09:40 - 48 minutes - 76.9 MB*You might be forgiven to think this whole COVID-19 pandemic is in the bag. It’s been a week-and-a-half since the mask mandates were repealed in Ontario and in the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health region, and like clockwork the number of COVID cases in the public, and in the hospital, are going up. You might be fed up, you might be fully vaccinated and boosted, but that doesn't mean the pandemic is over. Since the announcement earlier this month that the mask mandates were coming t...
Open Sources Guelph #370 - March 24, 2022
March 28, 2022 09:55 - 56 minutes - 90.2 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, there's war, peace and optimism. The war part is obvious, it's another week of death and despair in Ukraine, and still with now end in sight. In peace news though, two major Federal parties have reached a deal to govern for the next few years if they can figure out how to make it world. Optimism? Well, we have a candidate who hopes he will be Guelph's next Member of Provincial Parliament. This Thursday, March 24, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson...
End Credits #240 - March 23, 2022 (Windfall)
March 25, 2022 09:35 - 57 minutes - 91.6 MBThis week on End Credits, we're going to find out what people really think. In the first part of the show, we're going to talk to the director of an indie horror movie made in Wellington County and find out what scares him. For the review, we're going to get inside the heads of three people caught in a hostage situation, likely for production during COVID reasons. This Wednesday, March 23, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: INTERVIEW: Ali Akbar Akbar Kamal, director...
GUELPH POLITICAST #316 - Can You Archeologically Dig It?
March 23, 2022 10:13 - 37 minutes - 60.8 MBThere’s a lot of interest in the excavation of Baker Street. Maybe it’s the ghoulish quality of uncovering remains from an old graveyard, or maybe it’s because this is all literally happening on the main street, but a lot of eyes are on this big hole being dug in the old Baker Street lot. This week, we go inside that hole with the two men holding the shovels. Once upon a time, the newly founded Guelph settlement needed somewhere to bury their dead, and for some strange reason they chose the...
Open Sources Guelph #369 - March 17, 2022
March 21, 2022 10:04 - 57 minutes - 91.6 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, contrarian opinions are welcome, and they always will be. Wish we could say that was true in Russia, which is doing everything it can to convince its people that they are not in an aggressive war against Ukraine. We have to talk about that again, and we will also talk about the race to be Canada's next Federal Conservative leader, plus, a city councillor stops by for another chat. This Thursday, March 17, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will di...
End Credits #239 - March 16, 2022 (Turning Red)
March 18, 2022 09:31 - 57 minutes - 91.3 MBThis week on End Credits, we're growing up! Not really. In fact you could say that we're embracing the kid stuff given the fact that this week's review is fresh out of the Disney/Pixar myth-making machine. We're going to review Turning Red on Disney+, and along with that we will talk about some of our favourite coming-of-age movies that you can stream in other places. This Wednesday, March 16, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Growing Up is Hard to Do! No, seriou...
GUELPH POLITICAST #315 - COVID Begins
March 16, 2022 09:23 - 58 minutes - 93.4 MBWe have come to know what it’s like to live with COVID-19, even if we don't like, but almost exactly two years ago today, we were freaking out. Remember wiping down your groceries with anti-bacterial wipes? Remember the run on toilet paper? Remember when we thought we could stamp this out in two weeks? Times sure have changed, but are we really at the end of COVID considering how it began? On this day in 2020, March 16, Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health announced the region’s first ...
Open Sources Guelph #368 - March 10, 2022
March 14, 2022 09:31 - 57 minutes - 91.9 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're flying the yellow and blue. We're heading back to Ukraine to talk about the latest war developments and the refugee crisis, and we're going to talk about the local response with the head of Guelph's Ukrainian Catholic Church. Down at Queen's Park meanwhile, it was a week of saying a pre-election "goodbye" to some our favourite and least-favourite MPPs. This Thursday, March 3, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Not Another Refu...
End Credits #238 - March 9, 2022 (Licorice Pizza)
March 11, 2022 10:20 - 57 minutes - 92 MBThis week on End Credits we're going back to a time of social tumult and high gas prices. History comes around again in Licorice Pizza, the Academy Award-nominated new film from acclaimed director Paul Thomas Anderson. Before that, staying in the worlds of the man called PTA, we will consider some of the greatest characters he's ever created. This Wednesday, March 2, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: PTA's People. Paul Thomas Anderson is one of the most acclaimed A...
GUELPH POLITICAST #314 - The Environment, an Election, a Premier, and His Politics
March 09, 2022 10:10 - 41 minutes - 67.1 MBJust in time for this podcast, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released another report last week, which was described by UN Secretary-General as "an atlas of human suffering and a damning indictment of failed climate leadership." So what's the current provincial government’s record on fighting climate change, and with an election that's now less than three months away? The Provincial government under Premier Doug Ford has been very active on the environmental file, from disman...
Open Sources Guelph #367 - March 3, 2022
March 07, 2022 09:57 - 56 minutes - 91 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, it's a lot of bad news. Internationally circumstances force us to go back to Ukraine where the war still rages and shows no sign of stopping. More locally, we go back to Nova Scotia to talk about the inquiry into one of Canada's worst crimes, if not *the* worst crime. In more positive news, we will happily welcome another one of our local upcoming provincial election candidates to the show. This Thursday, March 3, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldso...

March 04, 2022 09:32 - 56 minutes - 90.8 MBThis week on End Credits, the horror continues. We pass from Ghostface to Leatherface as we warm up the Netflix machine to check out another horror legacy-sequel in the form of Texas Chainsaw Massacre (no The). Before getting into that, we will head back to Gotham City on this Batman eve to talk about all the other movies that bear his name, and rank them! This Wednesday, March 2, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Run the Series: The Batmen. This Friday, Matt Reeve...
GUELPH POLITICAST #313 - Still COVID with Dr. Mercer (Winter Edition)
March 02, 2022 09:29 - 41 minutes - 66.8 MBAs you click play on this episode, we’re officially in a new phase of the pandemic. More restrictions were lifted on March 1, and Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health is assuring us that it's only a matter of time now till our masking days are behind us. So it’s good news, right? Maybe. Let's ask *the* local expect if the reason for optimism is real! In our last edition of “Still COVID” back in November, “Omicron” was just another Greek letter. That changed pretty rapidly just a couple...
Open Sources Guelph #366 - February 24, 2022
February 28, 2022 10:00 - 57 minutes - 92.3 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're in search of peace. There's some of that in Ottawa now, but it's by no means a guarantee that it's going to last, which is why we're dedicating the first half to the show to the Freedom Convoy fallout. Elsewhere, we're looking at Schrödinger's war in Ukraine, plus the unofficial kick-off of the 2022 Ontario Provincial Election (though it's really just the start of the new legislative session). This Thursday, February 24, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Ada...
End Credits #236 - February 23, 2022 (Scream ’22)
February 25, 2022 10:24 - 57 minutes - 92.1 MBThis week on End Credits, things are getting stabby. Get the popcorn ready, sharpen your knife, and slip on your Ghostface mask, because this week we're heading back to horror town for some more meta-textual movie commentary with Scream 5, or rather just Scream. Unfortunately, there's also some real-life death to talk about, in this case a famous Canadian director. This Wednesday, February 23, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: For Ivan. There was sad news for mov...
GUELPH POLITICAST #312 - It’s in the Wastewater!
February 23, 2022 09:35 - 35 minutes - 56.9 MBThe University of Guelph has been one of the leaders in COVID-19 research, and in the wake of Omicron, one specific area research took on new importance as the regular channels of COVID testing were overwhelmed. The future of monitoring COVID-19’s prevalence and resilience may be in wastewater testing, and we have the man that could write book on it if he weren't so busy. This week, we're joined by Dr. Lawrence Goodridge, who holds the Leung Family Professorship in Food Safety in the Depar...
Open Sources Guelph #365 - February 17, 2022
February 21, 2022 09:40 - 57 minutes - 92 MBThis week, Open Sources Guelph is going back to the convoy. Brace yourselves. A lot has changed since we last talked about the politics of these anti-mandate protests, and all levels of government have given us a lot to chew on these last few days. So there's that, plus we will talk about the hate and scorn cast against the Canadian media. For the second half of the show, Mike Schreiner's back just as you knew he would be. This Thursday, February 17, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donal...
End Credits #235 - February 16, 2022 (The Lost Daughter)
February 18, 2022 09:35 - 57 minutes - 92.3 MBThis week on End Credits, we've got gold on the mind. Oscar gold.

This Wednesday, February 16, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Of Dogs and Dune. The nominations for the 94th Academy Awards...
GUELPH POLITICAST #311 - Now More Than Ever, Freedom to Read Week
February 16, 2022 10:02 - 48 minutes - 77.5 MBFreedom to Read Week is a chance to talk about issues of censorship and free expression, especially in the context of what we can read and access at our local and school libraries. There's been a lot of back and forth in the news lately about what young people should be allowed to read, or not, in their school library, so for this podcast, we got the biggest librarian we could find. To mark Freedom to Read Week 2022, we're joined by Shelagh Paterson, the executive director of the Ontario Li...
Open Sources Guelph #364 - February 10, 2022
February 14, 2022 09:22 - 57 minutes - 91.4 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're relieved to longer hear the honking of the horns. Not that we really heard them, but the thought of it kept us up all night. You know what else is keeping us up? How about the thought of a bilateral meeting with Pierre Poilievre and Boris Johnson? We will talk about those two in the first half of the show, and in the second half we'll talk Guelph business with the man from the (Ward) 6ix. This Thursday, February 10, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. ...
End Credits #234 - February 9, 2022 (Jackass Forever)
February 11, 2022 09:43 - 57 minutes - 91.6 MBThis week on End Credits, are you ready for some good, old fashioned fun? Jackass, and the comedy there in, may not be to your taste (emphasis on "taste|), but it is a verifiable phenomenon, and now its back in a theatre near you with Jackass Forever. Before that, one of our co-hosts will choose what he thinks are the quintessential Jackass gags (emphasis on "gags"). This Wednesday, February 9, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: The Best (?) of Jackass. At the turn o...
GUELPH POLITICAST #310 - It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
February 09, 2022 09:55 - 56 minutes - 90.2 MBCanadaland once said of Kurt Phillips that he was hunting Nazis online before it was cool. Experts in online hate like Phillips have been very busy lately following the developments of the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa, which has now launched several branch convoy protests, including the most recent one on the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor. How did it get this far? For the people covering Canada's far-right the last couple of years, recent events are not that surprising. People angry about COVID-...
Open Sources Guelph #363 - February 3, 2022
February 07, 2022 09:27 - 56 minutes - 90.2 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're occupying the airwaves starting at 5 pm, but we promise to give them up at 6 pm. Unlike some people, we know how to not wear out our welcome, but we also known Nazis are bad. We're going to talk about you-know-what in Ottawa, and the surprisingly fast and destructive effect on the Conservative Party, plus we'll have an interview with a provincial party leader.

End Credits #233 - February 2, 2022 (Encanto)
February 04, 2022 10:08 - 56 minutes - 91.1 MBThis week on End Credits, we don't talk about Bruno. It's like Fight Club, but in this case it's a guy in a new movie. If you get it, you already know, because there's a famous song about Bruno, and it's from the new movie Encanto. We're reviewing it this week. and before that, we will talk about some other animated movies worth checking out on the internet. This Wednesday, February 2, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Candice Lepage will discuss: Drawn Together. In 1937, the first feature l...
GUELPH POLITICAST #309 - Healthcare for Trans People Doesn’t Just Happen
February 02, 2022 09:37 - 33 minutes - 53.9 MBThis month, there are Winter Pride events in Guelph, and Pride events are all about promoting visibility and acceptance for the LGBTQ+ community. But while the Pride movement’s come a long way, there’s still a long way to go for complete equality. Consider healthcare. We like to think our healthcare system in Canada is barrier-free here, but the barriers for trans people can be immense. According to a report from TransPulse Canada last summer, 1-in-3 non-binary people said that their prim...
Open Sources Guelph #362 - January 27, 2022
January 31, 2022 09:26 - 56 minutes - 91.1 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, we're talking about international matters, and then we will bring things back to the local.

The movie choice this week, The House on Netflix, combines three different stories under one banner, so we're basically doing three movies in one. And speaking of movies that have more than one movie, we're going to run down a list of other movies that have several different movies in them. This Wednesday, January 26, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: A Segment in 6 Parts. This week's pick is an anthology, ...
GUELPH POLITICAST #308 - Une maison de la francophonie à Guelph
January 26, 2022 09:40 - 44 minutes - 70.6 MBThink about this for a second: Where can you go in Guelph if you want to use your French language skills? Seriously. This is a bilingual country, and unless you have friends or family that speak French or live in an area with a lot of French speakers, where do you go, and who do you talk to, if you want to speak French? That maybe about to change. Thomas Gallezot is originally from France but he's made his home in Canada, first in Toronto, but more recently in Guelph, which are two places ...
Open Sources Guelph #361 - January 20, 2022
January 24, 2022 10:03 - 55 minutes - 88.8 MBThis week on Open Sources Guelph, it's a "Blue Thursday" and we will tackle all kinds of issues making the rounds in what might be the saddest week of the year.

In the back half of the show, we will cover some sports news (?), and then we will take a frightening look at the immediate future. This Thursday, January 20, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson ...
End Credits #231 - January 19, 2022 (The Tragedy of MacBeth)
January 21, 2022 09:31 - 57 minutes - 91.4 MBThis week on End Credits, something wicked this way comes. Because call it "The Tragedy of the Scottish Play" doesn't really sound right, we will break form and say this week, we're reviewing the new Shakespeare movie, The Tragedy of MacBeth. Before that, we will talk about other Shakespeare movies and try to limit the available options to just five or six. This Wednesday, January 19, at 3 pm, Adam A.
