    Episode 14: Unelectable Yet Divisible

    Episode 13: Wonking From Home!

    Kirk and Joey geek out about democratic reform, equalization, respect for voters, referendums, donation limits, spending limits, and a trivia question from Kirk that will BLOW. YOUR. MIND.

    Episode 9: Envelopes of Cash

    Joey and Kirk - from somewhere in the Borg Collective, based on his audio - talk about the deafening "meh" in public polling after the federal Ethics Commissioner's report into SNC-Lavalin, Andrew Scheer's gambit, broadway, what's next for the Alberta Party, and why passing out cash from a brown envelope (allegedly) is probably not a good idea.

    Episode 8: We Finally Remembered Our Password

    Kirk and Joey return to the mic after a busy summer break to talk about Calgary City Council's poor approval ratings, the strategies of the major parties going into the Federal Election this October, and why nobody good really wants to run for the leadership of a political party these days.
