This week on End Credits, we’re gone. Gone fishin’? Maybe, we don’t watch the co-hosts every minute, especially when they’re not on the air. Yes, it’s that time again, time for the mid-August break. So while we’re breaking, we’ve got some cool – what the kids used to call – “repeats” for you. Get your road maps and your road snacks, because this we…

It was about this time last year that the so-called Greenbelt scandal blew-up. Although the issue had been simmering since fall 2022, the persistent efforts of journalists and activists to get to the bottom of the decision to separate and sell-off portions of protected land resulted in the land being restored, the minister responsible replaced, and…

This week on End Credits we're getting weird. Now obviously, this show is always a little weird, but this week we're making it official by talking about movies that stray away from the normal path, and that includes the movie we're reviewing this week. First, we will look at "What the funk?!" movies, and then we will say "WTF?" about a French movie…

It took a while to get here, but the Grand River Conservation Authority membership last month approved a management plan for the Niska lands, aka: the old Kortright Waterfowl Park, but this is not the end of the journey.

This week on End Credits, we're appreciating that all it takes to make $200 million in one weekend is a foul mouth and lots of gore. Or maybe it's gratuitous cameos from comic book movies you've all but forgot about. If you haven't guessed already, we're reviewing Deadpool & Wolverine, and sticking with the X-Men, we're ranking that whole series. T…

A couple of weeks ago at city council, a group of leaders representing four frontline agencies appeared to support the idea of a tiny home project in Guelph.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we need a drink. Good thing the liquor stores are open again, and to talk about why that is and what the workers in those stores are thinking, we're joined by one of their union leaders on this episode.

What could have been a small one-day story about disagreements around the table at Stratford city council has become emblematic of a bigger issue. Aside from the fine line between criticism of our civic leaders and outright threatening behaviour, there’s also a question about whether their mayor and council are being as open and transparent as it s…

This week on Open Sources Guelph, it was a rough one. Looking south of the border these days is a white knuckle ride through all your fears about the future, and it's so bad that we have to dedicate the whole first half of our show to talk about American politics.

This week on End Credits, we're going back to the turn of the millennium, or do we mean the Willennium? For those of you who remember the turn of the century have we got a treat for you! Remember 1999? A lot of great movies came out that year, and some people think that it might be the one of the best for the breadth and variety of projects, so thi…

The housing and affordability issues are massive, and to think that one action at one level of government is going to have a measurable impact is not understand that. This week at city hall, Guelph council will talk about proceeding with a tiny homes encampment, but that's one finger in one hole of a dam that needs a lot of repairs. Reaching back i…

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're right brained. An ideological shift? Hardly, but there's been a lot of action on the right side of the political spectrum in the last week, meaning that we're going to talk about election outcomes across the Pond, and a bizarre road show that's now rolling across Canada and rallying people to hate. For the in…

There's a lot of work when it comes to the grind of municipal governance and policy development, but it doesn't always start with city council (though it does often end with them). So on this episode of the podcast we're going to try and cram six months of work by eight different committees into 30 minutes of audio, from the retirement of the libra…

We talk to soccer ticketing consultant Jim McCarthy.

We discuss stadium seating areas, why ticketing is important and how he has turned bagel knowledge to Goldstar tick…

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're dealing with disappointment. Was it wrong to hope that an 81-year-old man would find the energy at 9 pm on a weeknight to argue with a sociopath for two hours? Maybe, but then again it's hard for leaders half that age to avoid calls to leave out the side door, at least that is what's going on our own capital.…

This week on End Credits, we see the music! Let's be clear, this is not a music show, but we're still dedicating this episode to the very busy intersection between the movies and music. For the review, we've got a movie called The Greatest Hits, which is about time travel, and speaking of greatest hits were going to revisit an old-fashioned bit of …

Our daily news is overflowing with stories about the breadth of the housing crisis, and governments are responding with new measures and funding, but these actions are based in a system that wasn’t designed to handle a problem this massive, or this complicated. This partially explains why nothing we’ve tried so far has had the impact we’ve wanted, …

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're bummed. Our long weekend plans collapsed like so much roofing that may or may not be a threat to some school kids on a class trip!

For the interview this week, we're talking to…

This week on End Credits, we escape. Greatly! No we're not talking about the classic 1963 John Sturges' movie staring Steve McQueen, but it is about World War II and it is about an escape, and it was kinda great. Today, we're going to review the new bio-pic conveniently called The Great Escaper, and we're also going to talk about other movie escape…

There’s a presidential election this year in the U.S., maybe you’ve heard about it, and like so much of American culture it threatens to block out the sun here, not to mention a lot of serious political issues we’re dealing with here in Canada. Why are we so obsessed with American politics and is it to the detriment of our own political enlightenme…

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we won't say that democracy doesn't work, but it certainly seems to be malfunctioning. We will look to our friends in the EU who seem to be increasingly embracing authoritarianism, but things aren't too rosy on our own shores where a beleaguered Indigenous community here in Ontario has to take the government to cou…

For this week’s podcast, we’re taking it on the road! There are two big protests of a sort happening in Guelph right now, one is technically a strike, and the other is an encampment on campus.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we don't take the law into our own hands, we go to court with some popcorn.

This week on End Credits, we're being careful about what we're pretending to be. Sly references to Vonnegut aside, things aren't quite that serious today as this episode tackles the lies we tell when we fall in love while pretending to be a contract killer in Hit Man. But the fun doesn't stop there because we're going to Tatooine and back with a re…
