• Episode 1834: Closeouts
    Nov 4 2024

    Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the strategic possibilities of Danielle Smith's overwhelming endorsement at her leadership review before turning their attention to the final hours of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. Does the result mean Danielle Smith has a strengthened hand, one less excuse when things go wrong, or both? Is Harris' last-minute positivity strategy the wrong antidote to continued Trump rage? And is Stephen's latest prediction a dark sign of the apocalypse or a noble act of community service? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

  • Episode 972: Kenney Island
    Mar 7 2022
    Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter talk Jason Kenney's upcoming leadership review. Has a balanced budget and high price of oil helped Kenney? Is 2900 registrants (and counting) for the vote a worrying sign? And has there ever been a segment more likely to get Stephen Carter cancelled than "Sweet Nothings"?

  • Episode 1832: An object at rest
    Oct 29 2024

    Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter discuss the fizzled Liberal coup, a Pierre Poilievre policy announcement, the BC election results - all while watching and not getting results for the Saskatchewan election. Is there any additional chapter in the Liberal caucus rebellion, or is this the end of the book? Have campaigns forgotten how to matter? And what goes it with hitting .400 in baseball anyhow?

    Oct 23 2024

    Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter are on the clock. With twelve minutes for each segment, they need to tackle the BC election, the Trudeau revolt, US politics and a mystery bonus section that Zain will graciously let them choose. Is Harris' campaign dying a vibe-based death? Who will win the showdown at the Liberal caucus? And can we all agree we don't care about the Speaker in BC? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.

  • Episode 1830: 21 Days Later
    Oct 18 2024

    Corey Hogan and Stephen Carter go from east to west - discussing the strategic considerations of the growing Liberal revolt against Justin Trudeau, the Alberta "scrap the cap" ad campaign and BC's impending election. Will Trudeau survive next week? Have campaign war rooms become too powerful at the expense of campaign success? And why would the word chicken make somebody so upset that they'd commit financial crimes? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.
