Locally Speaking Podcast

Episode 8 of Locally Speaking is now Live!

In "A Cello on a Floatplane?", we sit down and have a chat with long-serving MLA Nicholas Simons, representing the riding of Powell River-Sunshine Coast. Having served as MLA for 19 years in both opposition and government, he's currently serving as the NDP caucus chair, and has also spent time as the Minister for Poverty Reduction. We talk about a few of the things he's most proud of over the years, as well as several of the issues that local government and the Province share together.

We've got a couple social updates to share while we work on the next episode to drop (scheduled this coming week, by the way):

First, we're starting to share our podcast over on our YouTube channel. The idea is that you can listen to the intro from the show, and clips as we decide to extract and publish them. You can also get notified through the YouTube platform that episodes are available. Our shorter episodes will be published on there in full, such as episode zero: https://youtu.be/WB9npiAJd7Q

Second, we're using LinkTree to make for easy sharing of our podcast, and socials, and enabling people to be able to contact us or show their support for the show. You'll see linktr.ee/locallyspeaking showing up more, as well as forming the basis for our promotional materials.

Episode Four is live and can be listened to everywhere you consume your podcasts! In this week's episode, we tackle transparency. What is it, what makes a government more or less transparent, and come along with us as we realize we're going to need a second episode where we continue this conversation!

Episode Four - Transparency Through The Looking Glass by Locally Speaking In this Episode, we make an attempt to talk through transparency. The word is often bandied about during election campaigns, and everyone -wants- improved transparency, but is it even possible?
